Re: User:Dodger67; the LEDE|lede should highlight what the person is notable for. According to the text, she modeled for about a year as a teenager before going to ballet school then pursuing an acting career. I don't see any references to suggest that she had any notability as a model prior to her acting career. OhNoitsJamie Talk 22:25, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

chronology, under 2016 heading is a paragraph "In 2019" 2600:1700:CDA0:1060:6C6A:7D7F:24D0:A6A6 (talk) 00:45, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality

[edit]

I see significant discussion on nationality on this page, as on many other pages. Despite common parlance of putting a hyphen between nationalities, MOS:ETHNICITY clearly indicates that in these situations "and" is placed between them. Hyphens are ambiguous on whether they refer to ethnicity or nationality, while "and" more clearly shows independent importance to both nationalities.

Reads phony (phonily?)

[edit]

The overall tone of this entry is that of a PR piece. It sounds like it was written by her agent—or her. 2601:643:8D00:970:78E9:90E2:A9DF:2672 (talk) 07:17, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation of Theron

[edit]

The Afrikaans pronunciation is written in this article as [ˈtrɔn], but according to the Wikipedia article on Afrikaans the language has no vowel [ɔ], and in two recordings that are available on the net of her saying her name in its Afrikaans pronunciation she clearly says [ˈtron] or [ˈtroːn]. Can someone explain why it's transcribed the way it is? Shouldn't it be changed? Linguistatlunch (talk) 14:00, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
