Name

Heida Reed is her stage name/professional name. AFAIK she has never changed her name and is still called Heiða Rún Sigurðardóttir (Icelandic media notably always refer to her as such). So unless someone can provide a source for Reed being her official name that should be changed.--Batmacumba (talk) 17:26, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Batmacumba: The article already states that she was "born Heiða Rún Sigurðardóttir". - FlightTime (open channel) 17:34, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but that indicates its just her birth name and she is currently named Heida Reed, which is just her stagename.--Batmacumba (talk) 18:05, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Batmacumba: Well, that's how it's done here, please see WP:COMMONNAME. - FlightTime (open channel) 18:09, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think you misunderstand, I am not questioning the name of the article. I have changed the intro to underline Heida Reed is her stage name, not her actual name.--Batmacumba (talk) 09:01, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Birthyear

The correct birthyear is 1987. Entertainment websites are not a reliable source for that. There is a database of icelandic family relations that is the best source for the birthyear, but it requires access, that is only for Icelanders, which international wikipedians don't have. The icelandic page for Heiða will perhaps have to be in contrast to the other Wp pages.--Berserkur (talk) 12:31, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In addition to Íslendingabók (genealogical database), the national registry of Iceland has her born in 1987. Most Icelanders can confirm this through their online banking sites that provide an ability to search the national registry, but this of course is not a source that everyone can access. Someone should probably try to get this corrected on IMDB. --Bjarki (talk) 13:14, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
