Wait, a man whose family never bickered because of mutual respect, holds no mutual respect for anyone but atheist? huh? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.17.129.201 (talk) 09:16, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Middle Name[edit]

Any information as to why a Swedish actor should have the English name John as his middle name? Nuttyskin (talk) 02:19, 10 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure, but it's been there since at least 2012... DonIago (talk) 02:24, 10 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It's not a too uncommon name in Sweden. I googled and John seems legit, found it in several Swedish sources. Johanneswiberg (talk) 17:10, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Foreign pronunciation "useful"?[edit]

"Use other languages sparingly", so say our guidelines several times over. I believe that includes foreign pronuciation of personal names that are known to readers of English as pronounced with English (not foreign) phonetics. Wikipedia is not a language school. Until it can be shown clearly that it is "useful" (quoting reverter) that we be taught how to say things in Swedish, I am removing that here again. And I will keep removing it until someone convinces me of the alleged usefulness. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 19:48, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@SergeWoodzing: I honestly don’t see how it should not be useful: I mean, I personally find it an additional information that may be interesting for some; if a reader is not interested in it, they will simply ignore it, as they would with any other section. I think "using other languages sparingly" means more "avoid inserting whole strings of foreign-language text which English readers will not understand": there are IPA help pages for a reason. Also, take a look at this article: an audio file with no hard English words is what I call useless and superfluous here, not a foreign name whose pronunciation may not be immediate for the average reader. イヴァンスクルージ九十八（会話） 20:53, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I do not doubt your good intentions, but they are misplaced on this project because Wikipedia is not a language school. It is not (not) useful for non-Swedes to learn how to pronounce personal names, or widely known geographical names (such as Stockholm!) in any other language than English. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 20:57, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
But what is even the point of all the pronunciations on Wikipedia then?? Please refrain from removing other things until the question is solved (and at least some other editor has intervened). イヴァンスクルージ九十八（会話） 21:00, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The point is not generally motivated. Only pronuciations which are necessary for people to make themselves understood - such as Storkyrkan are useful. The rest of it is all clutter - which all those articles begin with! - of no use to the reader of English. Wikipedia is not a language school. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 21:10, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Continuously repeating Wikipedia is not a language school will not have you right, not until you find consensus about it. Let us wait for somebody else’s opinion. イヴァンスクルージ九十八（会話） 21:14, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That's what you should have done, yes. Waited. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 21:19, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Although I don't care for the way SergeWoodzing is going about it, I agree with him that the pronunciation is not useful in this case. The pronunciation is the traditional Swedish spelling whereas Skarsgard doesn't seem to pronounce his own name that way. He might do so when in Sweden but using this video as a reference, he doesn't seem to use the Swedish when working for an English speaking audience. In that video, the end of his name sounds more like "guard" rather that "gourd" as the pronunciation guide says. Additionally, there isn't a prominent "sh" sound at the beginning of either name.
The pronunciation should be the way he is referred to for the audience that is reading the article. English audiences say "guard", not "gourd".
Thus, leave the pronunciation out until it can be corrected to what is actually used and not the strict Swedish pronunciation. †dismas†|(talk) 19:08, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, nothing against adding /ˈstɛlən ˈskɑːrsɡɑːrd/ (which is what I heard in that video), but I don’t see why we should not also leave the original Swedish pronunciation: most likely he himself will use that one when speaking Swedish. Looking for something else in this sense. イヴァンスクルージ九十八（会話） 07:50, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
In any case, the Swedish pronunciation does not feature initial “sh” either, just to say. イヴァンスクルージ九十八（会話） 08:10, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is plenty of pronunciations of foreign names and on the other hand its articles are not only for English speaker but they are a reference for users of other languages. Maybe it could be added the English pronunciation in IPA, since it is not evident. Elchsntre (talk) 18:35, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What Wikipedia has or doesn't have is irrelevant as per our basic guidelines. That's just as basic as the fact that English Wikipdedia primarlity is for readers of English. Read up! It is not a language school in general terms.
In some cases such as Storkyrkan pronunciation guidance is a good idea. Here it is not useful, except perhaps as a trivia footnote. Every case is different. Swedish celebs who are not known outside of Sweden are one thing, men like this who are known around the world by the Engish pronunciation of their names, are another thing.
Whatever the case may be, you don't waltz in and make changes while we're discussing. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 19:26, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Well, turns out technically you made the first change while the discussion had not even started. イヴァンスクルージ九十八（会話） 21:13, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Moreover, I was thinking: don’t you think the better someone is known abroad, the more people will be looking for the native pronunciation of their name, as they are more used to hear the English or local one? イヴァンスクルージ九十八（会話） 21:37, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No (no). They won't. My work. 52 years. I know this. Special interest folks & trivia fans, yes. General readers, no. That means it does not go in the lead. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 20:56, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@SergeWoodzing: still, I have no clue about what your work is/was. イヴァンスクルージ九十八（会話） 22:08, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

So what are we gonna do? This talk has been fruitlessly going on here and there (and on my talk) for too long. イヴァンスクルージ九十八（会話） 12:14, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am OK with footnotes. I thought I had made that clear. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 15:08, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As nobody else intervened, I restored the disputed pronunciations and put them in footnotes. イヴァンスクルージ九十八（会話） 16:20, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hoping the next time you won’t just delete them straight away. イヴァンスクルージ九十八（会話） 16:21, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You are doing good work on this now, thank you! I think it's time we stopped criticizing each other personally. That's not really what we're here for. If you see someone remove something, I respectfully suggest you start a discussion without reversing. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 19:00, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thor: Love and Thunder is listed in the movie table but not the sentence describing his character in every other MCU appearance.


Change

"he entered the Marvel Cinematic Universe portraying Dr. Erik Selvig in superhero films Thor (2011), The Avengers (2012), Thor: The Dark World (2013), and Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)."

Andor ended in 2022 so it should get changed from 2022-present Qu1rky23 (talk) 21:06, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. The article for Andor (TV series) indicates that a new season is currently being filmed, so your argument appears to be erroneous. DonIago (talk) 05:23, 24 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]


Dogville is not from 2007[edit]

Dogville is not from 2007 but from 2003. I believe this error was introduced here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stellan_Skarsg%C3%A5rd&oldid=1094694123. Somebody please fix it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:718:2:22:0:0:0:52 (talk) 17:04, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
