Citizenship[edit]

Shouldn't she be described as a British-American actress? 2A02:C7C:5AA0:E900:E02E:347F:D139:61B4 (talk) 23:30, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. As she is both Sanbear (talk) 08:39, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Only if that is common in reliable sources. Whereas the RS mostly appear to describe her as a British actor/actress. The citizenship info is in the infobox and article already. MapReader (talk) 10:23, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

She should be described as British-American as she has immigrated to, and lives in the United States. As of now she is a dual citizen, but resides and works in the US. Its less accurate to say just "British" than say just "American" as she is naturalized. I vote to make her "British-American" Matteow101 (talk) 02:39, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia's current standards would be "British and American". Trillfendi (talk) 03:11, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Trillfendi can I ask where I can find this standard? Matteow101 (talk) 19:44, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Her citizenship is already fully set out in the article and infobox. The descriptor in the lead follows reliable sources, as for any article in WP, and the RS regularly describes her as a British actor/actress. MapReader (talk) 14:47, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here is an article describing her as British and American

https://www.britannica.com/biography/Emily-Blunt

even the simple wikipedia says she is american as well

Britannica is a deprecated source, is it not? As would be another Wikipedia. We rely on reliable sources, both from the general media (such as respected news media sites and publications from the English speaking world) and the specialist media press.

Photo of J Law[edit]

first photo in Career 2005-10 isn't Emily Blunt, it's Jennifer Lawrence 109.159.69.163 (talk) 17:20, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While the photo in question does sort of resemble Jennifer Lawrence, a google image search confirms it's Emily Blunt. Jessintime (talk) 19:38, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox - relatives parameter[edit]

The names listed in the relatives parameter of the infobox probably do not warrant inclusion, as the infobox template says that the parameter is only for relatives that are "independently notable and particularly relevant". Also, see this discussion on the inclusion of in-laws in the infobox. The politician uncle and brother-in-law actor listed in the infobox are not relevant to the actress's notability, and there doesn't appear to be a consensus that in-laws should be included in the infobox. Likewise, the actress shouldn't be listed in the infobox of their respective articles.

The purpose of an infobox is presenting the "key facts" of the subject of the article, and the names in the parameter aren't key facts of the subject. The MOS states: "The less information it contains, the more effectively it serves that purpose ... wherever possible, present information in short form, and exclude any unnecessary content." This extra trivia just contributes to infobox bloat. Lapadite (talk) 08:54, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That all sounds logical inandof itself, but feels icky to do so right around when one of the previously-cited relatives, Crispin Blunt, is being particularly notable in a negative way, which smacks of PR handling. Keithzg (talk) 23:44, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Movies[edit]

Blunt starred as Juliet in Gnomeo and Juliet but there is nothing about the movie in this article, which I’m pretty angry about because that movie is one of my favourites. 82.5.217.208 (talk) 19:49, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Blunt's performances, including Gnomeo and Juliet, are listed in a separate, linked article List of Emily Blunt performances. Opolito (talk) 20:40, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
