Israeli-born American?

[edit]

I saw the lead section, saying "Israeli-born American actress". This doesn't make sense to me. MOS:CONTEXTBIO states that "[t]he opening paragraph should usually provide context for that which made the person notable." Maybe consider some changes.

  • A: Natalie Portman is an Israeli and American actress.
This is to denote she holds dual American and Israeli citizenship. See also: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Olivia Newton-John, Michael J. Fox, Dua Lipa.
  • B: Natalie Portman is an actress, producer and director of dual American and Israeli citizenship.
Revert per this 2015 discussion.
  • C: Natalie Portman is an actress.
Remove nationality at all in the lead, but keep dual American and Israeli citizenship in the last paragraph.
  • D: Natalie Portman is an American actress.
Remove "Israeli-born" per the said guideline.

What do you think?

Corrected place of birth to correct - Jerusalem, Israel

[edit]

In accordance with Talk:Natalie Portman/Jerusalem and Israel enough time has passed to obviously reconsider the subject of this dispute. No one in their right mind will deny that Jerusalem is currently in Israel, regardless of your political views. The previous decision was clearly biased. However, Wikipedia and its community should not be politically biased. Jerusalem is in Israel and Natalie Portman was obviously born in Jerusalem as a city in Israel. This is what is stated in her ID documents. I propose to write in her and other people's place of birth Jerusalem, Israel, after many years there are enough reasons to accept this decision.

Clearly that debate came to an end 18 years ago and the present status quo has persisted without issue since then. The Infobox and lead say she was born in Jerusalem, with no country qualifier, and that's fine. Everyone knows where Jerusalem is and it's fine as is whether you support the Israeli version, the Palestinian version or any other version of the complex claims to that city. As such, there is zero reason to upset the apple cart and make the change you suggest, and I would oppose it.  — Amakuru (talk) 21:17, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
