Proposal[edit]

All the articles claiming Affleck proposed to Garner on her 33rd birthday ultimately trace back to an anonymously sourced claim in the tabloid Star. That is not a reliable source, and it's well established in WikiProject:Biography that we don't run claims by anonymous, unnamed, purported "sources" of unknowable veracity. We are WP:NOTTABLOID, and unless we have a confirmation of the engagement date from the subjects or their representatives, we cannot claim as encyclopedic an unconfirmed claim about the supposed date of their engagement. --Tenebrae (talk)

Image[edit]

I was looking at what we have to work with on the commons & I came across this picture [1]. I think it would be a better choice for the main image. Would love to get everyone’s thoughts. Elvisisalive95 (talk) 04:16, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see two considerable problems with it. The first is that it is at a Dutch angle, either for artistic effect or just poor photography. The second problem is that it's 15 years old. The current photo is only five years old. —Danorton (talk) 04:26, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting point with the Dutch Angle. & yes I did take the date into consideration. I hope one of these days we can find an updated, more flattering picture then the one that is there now. Thanks for your thoughts! Elvisisalive95 (talk) 04:23, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Partly done: please see my response below in #Semi-protected edit request on 13 April 2024 for the details. --Ferien (talk) 16:02, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deadname off her son[edit]

In the part about her personal life the names of her kids are stated. Her middle child has since come out as transgender, so if someone could change the page to. She has 1 daugther [insert name] and 2 sons Finn (the name he chose) and [insert name]. That would great!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 145.97.235.100 (talk • contribs)

I read somewhere that Garner’s middle child was now identifying as Non-Binary transmasculine which explains why they picked the name Fin and donned masculine appearance during their grandpa’s funeral. I mean Fin’s pronouns are they/them not they/him that I have seen in the articles that respect this transition. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:546:201:8890:3810:D1E0:92BB:243C (talk) 16:45, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jennifer & Ben’s 15 year old child is no longer Seraphina nor a daughter, but is a non-binary child named Fin. Please edit to remove the incorrect gender and deadname.

Partly done: We don't appear to have exact details about pronouns/gender, therefore I have omitted mention about daughters/sons for now (as I also did for Ben Affleck) and updated the name using the Newsweek source. Thanks, --Ferien (talk) 16:04, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
