On 3rd May 2009, an anonymous user deleted a bunch of references. Was there a problem with those references ? ~ RJ4 (talk) 06:38, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Since there was no objection, I have re-instated the refs.
RJ4 (talk) 08:56, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

One reference that should be deleted is her homepage as it is an advertorial for a skin care treatment, though it contains some minor citations/quotes from Margot, most of the content refers to Margot in a 'third party' context. Hence the whole site in itself is purely for comercial gain.

Fox 3000au (talk) 11:51, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

That's not a Reference, just an External Link.
Is there a rule against links to commercial sites ?
If so, that would mean we could not link to professional newspaper sites.

Golden Globes 2014

Headline: "Aussie green and gold! Naomi Watts dazzles in metallic while Margot Robbie teams her plunging white with emerald accessories as actresses attend Golden Globes"

A bunch of other pictures from the Hollywood event. — Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 16:56, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

Personal Info

Margot's personal info is incorrect. She is not the "eldest of three" children. She's actually the second YOUNGEST of FOUR children. Her father's name also isn't "Mike". The following link contains a reference to her "three" siblings. This in itself is evidence enough for changing the entry (although it doesn't mention her position in the family).

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/features/how-did-margot-robbies-star-rise-so-quickly/story-e6frg8h6-1226814194675# 101.162.14.236 (talk) 14:52, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

Interestingly, when I checked the sources included in the article, here and here, neither supported the names and occupations of her parents, nor a specific number of siblings. I've removed the two sentences as a result.--Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 20:46, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for that! I'm a friend of the family, but obviously any info here needs to be verifiable using publicly accessible info. I appreciate your making the modification!101.162.14.236 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 13:24, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

The personal info section is out of date - it uses 2010 sources (and poor sources at that). I suggest either update the section with relevant information, or delete the whole section. Paul haynes (talk) 15:23, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

This personal information is incorrect. Margot was born at Allamanda Hospital on the Gold Coast. Her Father still is a sugar cane farmer near Ayr in North Queensland. Margot has always had and maintains a close relationship with all the family including her father.Margot's grand parents Herb and Verna Kessler lived in Dalby and owned in partnership a grazing property at Meandarra which Margot and the family visited frequently.Dra56 (talk) 19:20, 20 May 2017 (UTC)Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).Doug Robbie

Do you have anyway to prove that? The problem is that we can't just change the article based on your word - anyone could create an account and claim to be family. Wikipedia needs reliable sources in order to verify any claim, and right now, the source we have says otherwise. Cheers, -- Irn (talk) 20:09, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

Article dated from 2008 referring to her then as 23 years old

Would this article being cited be enough to prove doubt on her actual date of birth?

http://www.smh.com.au/news/stay-in-touch/ramsay-st-gets-a-new-generation/2008/06/05/1212259007132.html ″One of the newest, Margot Robbie, had her first appearance on air on Monday, playing a groupie with stalker tendencies. The 23-year-old actress from the Gold Coast opted to attend a Sex And The City: The Movie screening instead of staying home to watch the episode.″ Wikispeaks (talk) 02:33, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

No. A quick Google search is all it takes. This has been discussed before. 4TheWynne(talk)(contribs) 04:05, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
No, I'm afraid Google Search dates are disallowed since they're unsourced. Wikipedia also disallows the often-incorrect bio claims of IMDb. However, I did find a reliable source, AllMovie.com, for her birth date. --Tenebrae (talk) 04:54, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
Hmm to me this has the hallmarks of the situation encountered with Rebel Wilson and her real age controversy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Rebel_Wilson#DOB:_The_evidence_from_before_she_was_world_famous Just wondering what would make a source from AllMovie.com more reliable than one from the Sydney Morning Herald describing her as 23 in 2008? Wikispeaks (talk) 05:47, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
I was referring to the actual articles given by the Google search, not the Google search dates. I'm sure at least one of them must be reliable. 4TheWynne(talk)(contribs) 06:37, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
The articles I saw on Google search were all either IMDb or non-RS blogs, fan pages and tabloid sites. Did you have a specific, citable source in mind?--Tenebrae (talk) 16:43, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
How about the sources from the "Early life" section? 4TheWynne(talk)(contribs) 00:35, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
Didn't realize there was a discrepancy between the two. Performers not infrequently fudge their ages — see Mariah Carey, Li'l Kim and Marc Anthony, for example. In cases of equally reliable sources, we give both dates. Choosing one over the other would be POV. I'll adjust.--Tenebrae (talk) 16:43, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
Indeed, the Sydney Morning Herald article from 2008, before she was famous, seems much more credible to me; otherwise, she would have been 18 when she was on Neighbours, and why would the newspaper, a respected one, have not given the right age? (It's possible she lied to make herself appear older, I suppose.) That said, AllMovie.com is a reliable source by Wikipedia guidelines, so while I would go with the 2008 newspaper article, that would be my POV. We have to include both dates until something definitive appears. --Tenebrae (talk) 16:53, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
I guess this is fair for now. It will be interesting if any other news articles from before she was famous are found giving a similar age to the one given by the SMH? I doubt any actress ever chooses to give an older age and in almost all cases it's the opposite. Wikispeaks (talk) 23:05, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
I'm not sure this should have been changed so quickly with only one article giving a different age. What if it was just a mistake by that reporter? I believe there are a few sources in the early life/early career sections to back up 1990 as her birth year. I remember she celebrated her 18th birthday while she was on Neighbours and that source is in the article somewhere. - JuneGloom07 Talk 03:11, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
That was also my impression – that it was just a mistake. Perhaps the writer put the wrong age in the wrong article, perhaps there was another article being written at the same time about a 23-year-old person and it got mixed up? Those are the questions I would ask. 4TheWynne(talk)(contribs) 03:26, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
I think for now the article should be taken for what it says without presumptions of error. The Sydney Morning Herald is a pretty respected news source with editors and such. If it was some blog or simple entertainment site it would make more sense perhaps to assume it was simply an error. Wikispeaks (talk) 16:49, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
Agree. And perhaps the discrepancy being given here will prompt her or her people to address the it. --Tenebrae (talk) 17:06, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Birthday

Her birthday is in July and she is 25. She celebrated her 25th birthday on the Set of Suicide Squad

http://www.ew.com/article/2015/07/04/margot-robbie-gets-harley-quinn-birthday-cake-suicide-squad-set — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.42.16.220 (talk) 15:27, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

EW says "25-year-old", but neither of the referenced Instagrams by her, nor what we can see of the cake, says 25. Also, the day a birthday is celebrated isn't necessarily the day the birthday is, and with a cake on the 4th day of the month, the birth date could be late the previous month. --Tenebrae (talk) 16:59, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

An anon-IP editor found an Elle interview published August 2015, in which Robbie says she is 24, which puts her birth year as circa 1991. Unlike what the anon IP claimed, the article gives no birth date. We don't know when the interview was conducted, but the writer also, separately, refers to Robbie as "a ... 24-year-old actress". If Robbie were 25 in August 2015, the writer would have said so. All we know for sure is that her age is given as 24 in August 2015. --Tenebrae (talk) 16:49, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
An anon IP changed the birth date by essentially saying the Sydney Morning Herald is not RS. But it is. A redlink editor gave July 2, 1990, based on a post on Robbie's verified Instagram page, but A) that's a primary source, and B) the Instagram doesn't say a word about "July 2" — all it says is "75 weeks ago." Elle and the Sydney Morning Herald are equally RS and give different ages. Before favoring one over the other, which is POV, we need to reach consensus here, as per Wikipedia protocol. --Tenebrae (talk) 21:27, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Surely we can remove the SMH source saying her age is around 29-30, as in 2015 she said she is 24? (and possibly 25 in accordance with the 2 July 1990 source depending on when the interview was conducted). She's clearly not born in 1985, despite what the SMH article claims. There's also source 11 in the Early Career part (http://web.archive.org/web/20080902010920/http://neighbours.com.au/Happy-Birthday-Margot-Robbie.htm) which says she celebrated her 18th birthday in 2008. Sarahgj (talk) 05:46, 16 December 2015 (UTC)— Preceding unsigned comment added by Sarahgj (talk • contribs) 05:39, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Well, the Neighbours cite is very specific and agrees with AllMovie, which would have come well after Neighbours. Taken together with the Elle timeframe, I think we can go with that date, and simply note the SMH in the footnote so that the discrepancy is addressed. I'll do it now.
The Huff Post helped us out with an investigation: We Can Prove Margot Robbie Isn’t Lying About Her Age - JuneGloom07 Talk 23:47, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
And the original source for the whole controversy - the Sydney Morning Herald article here - just added a correction to it: "This article originally stated Margot Robbie's age at the time of publication was 23. She was in fact 17 years old.". Tabercil (talk) 22:20, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

Endorsements

Hello fellow Wikipedians, I have removed this section, as they don't impart any real enclyclopdic knowledge, and serves to promote Margot Robbie in an unhealthy business like manner, which is against Wikipedia core policies, in particular, WP:NOTADVERTISING and subverts Wikipedia Terms of Use. scope_creep (talk) 22:00, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

I don't think NOTADVERTISING is relevant or appropriate here, and I don't see what this has to do with the TOU. Her work in advertising is part of her career just like her work in movies. Saying that she is working in an advertising campaign is not itself advertising nor is it in any way promotional - it's just a statement of fact, and as long as it's well sourced and neutrally written, it's perfectly acceptable. -- irn (talk) 23:17, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
I totally agree with you, Irn. Scope creep also removed a similiar sentence here, and I think Scope hasn't understood it yet. Moreover, this user thinks that someone —probably me— is "inexperienced" because of this sentence, but I didn't even put it there. Sebastian James (talk) 09:08, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
@Scope creep: You started the conversation here, and I responded to your objections four days ago. You have yet to resume this conversation, although I see that you have been active elsewhere on Wikipedia. Reverting without participating in the talk page discussion is disruptive and makes collaboration impossible. Please come back to this conversation. -- irn (talk) 17:29, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
Perhaps it is a cultural aspect of different societies, but I don't want to come to Wikipedia, having read an article and find the person is selling something and I should buy it. There is numerous places on the web, where it is acceptable to do that. Not here. To say it is part of their job is a bit disingenous, because nobody anywhere is saying you can't advertise, if you want. Just don't do it here. This is not an advertising platform. irn , it states in the text promoting. Wikipedia is a charity, and as such, it operates in a strict legal framework. If goes back, it will go up to WP:COIN and they will deal with it. scope_creep (talk) 17:38, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
Sebastian James, sorry if I called you "inexperienced".scope_creep (talk) 17:53, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
My two cents: I don't think the idea is to "sell" anything. When we add information about her film role, it isn't because we want to sell movie tickets. Of course, we must take care that the wording is neutral. The fact that Robbie is the face of Calvin Klein's fragrance is quite notable IMO, as it's a pretty high-profile gig. The other bit about Nissan isn't as notable, but if we tweak the wording and provide a better reference, we should be able to keep it in the article. Cheers! --Krimuk2.0 (talk) 17:56, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
No one is saying you should buy anything. Where are you getting that from? All it says is that Robbie is working for these companies. Why do you think "Robbie works for [x]" is equivalent to "You should buy [x]"?
And why COIN? What is the conflict of interest you see here? Who has a conflict of interest in this? -- irn (talk) 18:01, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
I agree with you, Irn. We have pictures in which she is "promoting" a film. It doesn't mean we are trying to sell tickets either. Same things applies to her other jobs as well. --Krimuk2.0 (talk) 18:04, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
That is how branding works. It all brand recognition, and building brand awareness. It's one step, in series of steps of building a brand, so when a person wants a particular item, whereever it is, they associate Margot Robbie, sexy, lets buy it. They have already seen it somewhere else, advertising on a different medium and that creates the expectation in the mind. It is an old hat, and everybody knows what it is. It is instrinsic presence of the advertising here, which I think so makes it so insidious. You may think insiduous is too strong a word, but the advertisers dont think that. They are spending billions to get adverts on to here, on one form or another, to get ther brand going. I am always suspicious of folk, who think in terms which are anathema to the best interests of WP. I think your so inured to the effect of it, you don't even know it is happening. COIN as the word promote is clearly visible. Clearly it is promotional. 18:25, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
I would like to add that edits so far have been in Good-Faith by all parties. scope_creep (talk) 18:44, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

RfC on endorsements

The following discussion is an archived record of a request for comment. Please do not modify it. No further edits should be made to this discussion. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
It appears to me the consensus is that provided there are independent reliable sources to support the mentions of her endorsements, they are encyclopedia facts, and including them does not violate the Terms of Use or WP:NOTADVERTISING. Obviously this does not mean they should be gratuitously listed in great detail, common sense applies to which endorsements are relevant and supported by independent reliable sources. Care should be taken to avoid the mentions being promotional in themselves. (non-admin closure) Prince of Thieves (talk) 10:55, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Does reporting on Robbie's endorsements and work in advertising violate the Terms of Use or WP:NOTADVERTISING? And is it, therefore, prohibited from being mentioned? This is the material in question. 16:04, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

  • No - Her work in advertising is part of her career just like her work in movies. This is standard practice across the encyclopedia. Saying that she is working in an advertising campaign is not itself advertising nor is it in any way promotional - it's just a statement of fact, and as long as it's well sourced and neutrally written, it's perfectly acceptable. -- irn (talk) 16:04, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
  • Yes When the article states the word promoting in the text which doesn't impart any encyclopedic knowledge outwith advertising the fact that she is selling cars, and that violates WP:NOTADVERTISING. Her work, including branding, etc, are her business, not Wikipedias'. Of the Top 100 websites, on the Alexa ranking, all of them are now using a business model which is based partly or fully on advertising. Wikipedia is the exception. Its model is not based on advertising, at any level. Therefore is no reason to inform the reader that she is working in advertising, as that is not Wikipedia concern. It doesn't impart knowledge, except the fact she is advertising. Can Wikipedia not have a standalone independent existence, and represent only the fact, and leave the advertising slime behind. scope_creep (talk) 21:24, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
  • No - per my comments above. --Krimuk2.0 (talk) 07:43, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
  • No (Summoned by bot) When people do a job, we include it. When people give sacks at a charity, we include it. That someone has a job as an advertising figure backed by a RS does not violate our TOU. L3X1 ◊distænt write◊ 16:21, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
Hey, L3X1 -- the RFC is framed in such a way that your answer should be "no", given your explanation. Cheers! --Krimuk2.0 (talk) 18:44, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
Krimuk2.0 Oops, thanks for telling me. L3X1 ◊distænt write◊ 18:47, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
  • No - Stating that she is working for/with a company in an endorsement/advertising capacity is an encyclopedic fact about her. I personally would leave out further details mentioning specific products. Maybe inlcude it somewhere in the Career section under 2015-present. I would phrase it something like this: "In 2016 Robbie began work on an advertising campaign for clothing designer Calvin Klein and again in 2017 for Automotive Manufacturer Nissan." It lists the relevant information without actually promoting a specific product, just who she was working for, what she was doing, and when. Fusion2186 (talk) 18:44, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
  • No - Per above, stating that she is working in advertising is not the same as advertising. As long as the statements are verifiable in third-party sources, merely noting her involvement with particular companies is not an endorsement or advertisement of those companies. If the line of reasoning advocated here were pursued, wikipedia could not even mention the profession of anyone who works primarily in the advertising industry.

Infobox image

Which image should be used as her main display image, this (can be cropped, if necessary) or this? A head shot is indeed preferable, but the latter picture is a side profile and isn't ideal either. There are more options here. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 18:34, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

Lead / infobox images should usually be a high quality, close head/shoulders crop showing the best likeness of the subject. The first option isn't particularly high resolution (which cropping will worsen), has some colour quality, distracting background and lack of contrast issues, the second is crisp, high quality, is a head/shoulders crop, and is an immediate recognisable likeness. Images galleried below for side by side comparison at near the size they would be in the article . (Hohum @) 00:10, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

It has all of the problems of the first image, and I don't see what the benefit of looking directly at the camera is. (Hohum @) 17:53, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

If you're just looking for more opinions, I like the gold background crop above. The gold background and lower quality are less than ideal, but I think the quality is high enough, and I disagree that it's not as recognizable (indeed, I think it's more recognizable). -- irn (talk) 16:00, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

ps. the longer established image until a few days ago was the central one above, so that would be the one to keep in the case of "no consensus" anyway. (Ironically put there by the same editor who now wants to change it). (Hohum @) 21:09, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
True, but there have been other images used before that for longer periods of time, with no real discussion or analysis of which image ought to be used at any point. Prince of Thieves (talk) 21:36, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
I'd support this image however if we cannot use that then my next choice would be B .... but yeah back on topic best to start an RFC if nothing can be agreed here. –Davey2010Talk 22:27, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 27 February 2018

Margot Robbie has changed her last name to Ackerley. She took the last name of her husband, as seen on a wedding seating list of her best friend. Multiple media sources are stating this. E.g.: https://www.elle.com.au/celebrity/margot-robbie-name-change-margot-ackerley-15937 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-4053668/Margot-Robbie-marries-British-film-director-Tom-Ackerley-son-estate-agent-Surrey.html https://www.nowtolove.com.au/celebrity/celeb-news/margot-robbie-changes-name-to-margot-ackerley-45321 And a lot more sources. I feel like this is a pretty important information and should be changed ASAP. Thanks. Daniel Shtokman (talk) 18:24, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

The Elle source bases this on a name tag that says "Mrs. Tom Ackerley" and adds, "Whether or not Margot will adopt Ackerley as her professional last name, or keep her maiden name as her stage name is unknown." We therefore won't be amending the name unless Margot herself confirms the change. --Krimuk2.0 (talk) 18:28, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

Suggest: Robbie received critical acclaim in 2017 for her performance as the disgraced figure skater Tonya Harding in the biographical film I, Tonya (which she also produced) receiving nominations for the Academy Award; Golden Globe; SAG and BAFTA Award for Best Actress. 90.252.221.65 (talk) 17:51, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Positive/negative reviews

Is there a reason editors will only allow mentions of positive reviews in this article? Saying a movie has positive reviews and the source is rotten tomatos is ok, right? What if rotten tomatoes has negative reviews? --That man from Nantucket (talk) 05:56, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

It is not a reliable source so no the source is not OK.--5 albert square (talk) 06:31, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
Sorry to contradict you here, albert square, but Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic are uniformly used in Hollywood film-related articles to quantify a film's reception, as long as it is neutrally worded. --Krimuk2.0 (talk) 07:10, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

Pronunciation

My empirical impression is that lots of people (or perhaps lots of Americans) pronounce her name MAR-gət or ROH-bee. See [1][2] for example. One may judge them, but that doesn't mean a notation wouldn't be helpful.

Also I suspect it is not uncommon nowadays for someone named Margot to be called MAR-gət. Some dictionaries suggest this. If so what happened to the name Ralph may be happening to this name too (spelling pronunciation). One may lament that, but that doesn't mean a notation at Ralph Fiennes, for example, wouldn't be helpful.

What do other editors here think? Nardog (talk) 22:50, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

I agree that it's helpful. -- irn (talk) 02:32, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
Very helpful. -- ψλ ● ✉ ✓ 02:50, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
I agree too. RJ4 (talk) 04:51, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
I think the pronunciation for common names should be noted when it differs from the most common one, which in this case is MAR-goh for Margot and ROB-ee for Robbie. To me it just seemed out of place how it's the only article with the pronunciation of "Margot" noted (besides Margot of course), but I guess that's related to her relative popularity.
As for Robbie, the ROH-bee pronunciation seems like some sort of hyperforeignism, and not a common one at that, so noting ROB-ee also seems out of place to me, especially since the spelling wouldn't suggest the former pronunciation.

Infobox image

There was an RFC about Robbie's infobox image last year, before this image, which is a much-clearer face shot, was available on Commons. I've made a WP:BOLD edit on the article, and if anyone objects to the current image, please do so here. Cheers! Krimuk2.0 (talk) 07:57, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

I support the change, as it's a much better image. - JuneGloom07 Talk 01:44, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
The one that I added is not included in RFC nor any other discussion. It's from this year and represents the person better (because of her age etc.). Sebastian James what's the T? 14:12, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
@Krimuk2.0: There isn't any consensus to gain. Check this page first. The image I added has nothing to do with the past incidents (this was in April, and now we are at the end of 2019). We don't have to start a discussion every time we add a clearly better and more recent picture. Sebastian James what's the T? 15:52, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
"clearly better" is subjective. "Recent" by a few years is not how we choose an infobox image. When in disagreement, let others weigh in and maintain WP:STATUSQUO until then. Cheers! Krimuk2.0 (talk) 16:03, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
She doesn't look like the way she did 6 years ago. Put an image from the subject's childhood then. It looks like it represents better in your opinion.

Article incorrectly states that Margot Robbie “was the first actress nominated for an Academy Award for playing a real-life athlete.” The citation specifies that she was the first nominated for playing an Olympian, not just an athlete. Robert De Niro, for example, was nominated and won for playing real-life boxer Jake LaMotta in Raging Bull, decades before I, Tonya. 2600:1008:B04E:B81:35D8:D1AA:1EF:E64E (talk) 21:48, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

She doesn't look that much different, and the current image is better quality than those you have suggested. Quality tops how recent an image is, IMO. Alex (talk) 08:55, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Image C I think it should be a image from 2018, if this is the only offer of images I choose this option. Mikola22 (talk) 15:16, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
  • D if I had to choose. I like C too. But ultimately, there’s nothing unsatisfactory about the current image. Trillfendi (talk) 15:42, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Absolutely nothing wrong with the current image. I’m not sure what the original editor is on about, but she doesn’t look that different at all. Rcarter555 (talk) 16:42, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Image C - C looks the best out of the 4 and is from 2018, I've also removed "Editors/IPs are constantly changing the image so figured I'd start an RFC" because those were my exact words at another RFC and whilst I don't own words I certainly don't appreciate my words being taken and reused without any changes. Anyway C's the best one. –Davey2010Talk 18:34, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Current image – For the reasons I stated higher up on the talk page. It's clearer, she is facing toward the camera, and her hair is not obscuring her face. I don't see that much difference in her facial features compared to the 2018 images. - JuneGloom07 Talk 01:23, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
  • D if I had to choose, but prefer current. ProcrasinatingReader (talk) 14:50, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Keep Current Image second choice is Image D. Images A-C are more recent however they are lower quality and more blurry. Image D is more recent than the current image, and good quality however it is slightly harder to identify the subject as the image is taken from an angle and there is some hair in the way of her face. Regards  Spy-cicle💥  Talk? 18:26, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Image A, B, C, or D. I would advocate using any of the more recent images. 7 years old is quite a long time and we have more recent images that are of good quality so I see no reason not to use a more recent image. Helper201 (talk) 19:37, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Here are two more recent good quality images we could use -

  • Image E - Taken in May 2019
    Image E - Taken in May 2019
  • Image F - Taken in July 2019
    Image F - Taken in July 2019

I would also advocate E or F over the current image. Helper201 (talk) 19:43, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

The problem with E and F is that they were cropped from a bigger image and appear blurry, at least to me. - JuneGloom07 Talk 17:59, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
Yea, sadly, they are blurry, and her eye makeup in F makes her look drastically different than how she usually looks. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 18:10, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Which of the images is free? That's the one we use, as free imagery is always used if possible over fair use. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 17:15, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

  • Keep current or C - Summoned by bot. The current infobox image is the best option out of them all however I understand its 7 years old now... That being said, if we are to replace, I preferred Image C, where her smile looks natural and lighting looks favorable. The other replacement options either look staged, forcing a smile, or look too candid. Let's be honest though, it'd be hard to get a bad photo of Robbie. Meatsgains(talk) 16:41, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

Not knowing something is, by definition, ignorant. I think what you mean to say is "Perhaps I'm less well educated than the typical reader ..."--that's certainly plausible. We still don't know whether you're picking A or B. -- Jibal (talk) 07:25, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Seriously? How is that possible? And can we even rely on which you're picking now? And what the heck does "biased" mean in this context? A review is an opinion. But even then, how can "bravura physicality" be "biased"? Toward or against what? But maybe you actually meant the comment about an improvement ... who the heck knows. -- Jibal (talk) 07:11, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
  • B as proposer. Stating that Robbie embodied Harley Quinn with bravura physicality is a clear review of her performance, while saying something is an improvement is not definitive in quality nor is it clear how it pertains to Robbie. Not only that, this article states: Although the film [Suicide Squad] received generally negative reviews, Robbie's performance as Quinn was widely praised. So, did the character receive even wider praise for Birds of Prey? Furthermore, this article is about Robbie, not Quinn. If the Marlon Brando article does not have a statement regarding how Premiere lists Vito Corleone as history's greatest film character, then I don't see how saying Birds of Prey's Quinn is better than Suicide Squad's Quinn is appropriate.

  • A per Krimuk2.0 and Trillfendi. Some1 (talk) 01:53, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
  • B. I find A to be just a poor sentence all around. As KyleJoan noted, it says nothing about Robbie's performance. Maybe more importantly, it makes no sense: what does it mean for a character to improve? She got less evil? If you're going to use the LA Times review, it would be better to quote from the review directly, rather than use this strange attempt at a paraphrase. Korny O'Near (talk) 03:32, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
The review says, "Yan and Robbie have largely salvaged Harley Quinn from the dour, sexist ugliness of that 2016 movie"; the paraphrase is what Kyle Joan chose to include in the RFC, without mentioning the quote, which I have done now. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 09:07, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
With all due respect, Krimuk2.0, I chose to include in the RFC the exact paraphrase that was inserted into the article on 5 February. I thought it would be inappropriate to revise a proposed addition that I did not write myself due to the risk of misrepresenting it, so I listed the paraphrase verbatim out of respect for the user who did write it–you. KyleJoantalk 09:32, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
I'm talking about the context. How it was paraphrased in the article on 5th Feb is subject to improvement, and is a separate issue. The current issue is about which review to include in the article. Editors obviously won't be able to judge which review is better if we don't quote exactly what the review says in the RFC introduction. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 12:08, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
Well, now I'm confused as to what this RfC is about. Is it just about which review to quote, or is it about the specific wording? In any case, I still don't like the presence of the "how much of an improvement the character was" paraphrase, because I still don't understand it. And I have to say, though the original LA Times quote is better, that one is not totally clear either. It seems to be saying that the new film is more fun and less sexist - but if so, why mention Robbie there? After all, in both films, she just said the lines she was told to say. Did she do a better acting job in the second one? Or maybe the review is praising Robbie as producer? Not clear. Korny O'Near (talk) 13:19, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

Both A and B - um, is there a reason why we cannot use both? Sure, the LA Times has more street cred, but the second one is certainly the soul of brevity. I guess I do not get the point of the RfC; they do not appear to be oppositional points of view, and they state something that only enhances the understanding of the subject. Please explain what I must be missing. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 17:13, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

Infobox Image Discussion (2021)

I think a change in infobox image is warranted, given that the current image is from 2013.

Infobox image

Pinging @Spy-cicle, Rcarter555, Beehivexo, and KyleJoan: based on recent edits. Should we update the infobox image? The photograph was taken in 2013, which was almost a decade ago. There are several photos of her from 2019 (see here) that are suitable replacements. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 01:01, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

Not pinged, but part of the previous image discussions. The problem with most of the 2019 images is that they are of inferior quality, with most appearing blurry. The 2013 image might be almost a decade old, but the quality is very good and she is looking directly at the camera. She has neutral make up (compared to the first two in that category) and her hair is not obscuring her face. As User:ProcrastinatingReader once said Recentness doesn't override quality. To me, she doesn't appear to have changed all that much and she is still very much recognisable in the 2013 image. - JuneGloom07 Talk 04:30, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
Agreed. There’s nothing wrong with the current photo and she hasn’t changed much at all. Rcarter555 (talk) 06:58, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
I concur. She still very much looks the same. None of the 2019 images come remotely close to the level of quality of the 2013 image (although in terms of recognizability and pose, File:Margot Robbie at "Once Upon A Time In... Hollywood" Photocall in Berlin 2019 (cropped).jpg is satisfactory, though it's still a substandard choice, apart from it being a possible copyright violation). — Film Enthusiast✉ 07:20, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
The 2013 image is vastly superior in quality in comparison to the 2019 ones thus not worth changing until there is a suitable replacement.  Spy-cicle💥  Talk? 10:42, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
What about the ones from 2018 or those taken at San Diego Comic-Con? Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 22:17, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
Those two areas are defintely far closer to raw image quality (or on par) to the 2013 one, now it is trying to find a good angle (ie looking at camera, unobscured photo). Though worth consulting with some of the other editors. I believe the infobox image has been brought up previously in the archives.  Spy-cicle💥  Talk? 15:43, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
@Rcarter555 Totally disagree but whatever, i think she changed, people changes over the years, you know? By the way there's 2016 San Diego Comic-Con photos with good quality, so, why keeping that one? For me, i disagree! The photo as to be changed! LRP19PT (talk) 15:11, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

I'm doing your consensus thing now, so please man! The quality is not really important, 2019 one doesn't have blurr, i don't see it!

There's 2016 which is a great quality even 2019 (for me it's not bad quality), there's some actors with San Diego Comic-Con photos so why can't Margot Robbie have it, and others can! So what's the matter??... Do you understand what i'm saying or no?? Try to understand it... I will always gonna keep pushing for changing this photo... When the consensus will come??

In the first sentence beneath Robbie’s photo, change “till” to “until” or “‘til”. Incorrect version is being used. “Born and raised in Queensland, Robbie began her career in 2008 on the television series Neighbours, on which she was a regular TILL (should be “until”) 2011. “ 73.9.190.206 (talk) 12:56, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

 Not done: All dictionaries I've looked up indicate till and until are interchangeable. Until indeed sounds somewhat more cromulent to me in the sentence in question, but I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if this was a regional variation (consider WP:TIES). In any case provide a source that supports your assertion if you insist. Nardog (talk) 13:01, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
For what it's worth, I agree with the suggested change to UNTIL. True, Dictionaries list both words as valid, although as the Collins Dictionary points out, TILL is used more in conversation. On this basis, my thinking is that UNTIL is more appropriate for an encyclopedia. https://grammar.collinsdictionary.com/english-usage/what-is-the-difference-between-until-and-till 147.10.241.239 (talk) 16:07, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi everybody,

I felt slight discomfort when looking at the currently selected photo (can explain why, if needed). Will it be acceptable to replace it with this one:

Article says she worked three jobs simultaneously as a teenager. I think that should read "concurrently". 14.199.7.70 (talk) 13:16, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

I'm guessing you meant to suggest "consecutively" (or "successively")? Because "simultaneously" and "concurrently" are basically used synonymously in everyday language, both meaning "at the same time"; with concurrently maybe spanning a longer time. Either way, the solution is to remove the word "simultaneously" all together, since the source (first reference) does not at all mention how she worked these jobs. --62.166.252.25 (talk) 11:14, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Not to mention unencyclopaedic. 4TheWynne (talk • contribs) 08:46, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
But this is not how Wikipedia works. It doesn't matter how (un)important it "seems" according to random editor X, nor if editor Y wants to "mention" it is (un)encyclopaedic. We have policies and guidelines. If reliable sources (the 3 used above are Digital Spy, The Cut, Time, but there are many others) publish about it because they decided the material is notable, then who cares what you random editors think? I get that Wikipedia is a collaborative project and we need to discuss what we add or not, but if you start with your personal views, instead of what we can extrapolate from sources, then why should I even bother continuing writing anything here. Over and over this same thing. You think a subject being a Harry Potter fan isn't important, because it's children's literature or whatever is going on in your head. But who cares what you think. You are nobodies. I already asked you clearly why it should be excluded, and "per what policy/guideline". You completely ignore these questions. It's like you don't understand how discussions work, that you need to substantiate your stances with arguments. All I see is, let's gang up on this IP editor, so we get a majority, and then we can ignore everything else. --62.166.252.25 (talk) 15:41, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
See WP:NOTEVERYTHING. Who cares what you think? If any or all three of those sources said that Robbie's favourite colour was blue, do we throw that in as well? Not every single detail about a person's life is encyclopaedic, and just because it might appear in one or more sources, doesn't mean that it must be included, otherwise this site would be bogged down with so much trivia that it would no longer be an encyclopaedia. 4TheWynne (talk • contribs) 16:23, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
In reaction to your "Who cares what you think?". Nobody should care what I think, because I, like you, are a nobody. "If any or all three of those sources said that Robbie's favourite colour was blue, do we throw that in as well?" Can you imagine if that wasn't mentioned in passing, but Time published "Margot Robbie Confesses That She Once Lied to ... color blue." And at Digital Spy, "Suicide Squad's Margot Robbie is a MASSIVE color blue nerd". You know why you are comparing apples with oranges? Because you randomly came up with a favorite color blue, while the sources discuss her being a Harry Potter fan. And "doesn't mean that it must be included", but also doesn't mean we should exclude it. Either way, WP:NOTEVERYTHING, the article being a summary of accepted knowledge regarding Robbie. Her being a massive Harry Potter fan, it is an essential part of her being. It makes her her. It is a core part of her early life and her personal life. Or, maybe not. But we could have had a normal, civilized discussion about that, instead of you essentially telling me to go F myself with my retarded idea. --62.166.252.25 (talk) 06:04, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
It has absolutely nothing to do with Harry Potter being a fantasy kids thing. If the sources had said she was a huge fan of any fiction, it would need to meet a fairly high bar to be considered encyclopedic. To claim that being a Harry Potter fan is “an essential sort of her being” is a huge leap and it certainly not what she is notable for. Rcarter555 (talk) 06:27, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
And I really do think the problem you have with the material is Harry Potter being a fantasy kids thing. If the sources would've talked similarly about her being a massive Plato or Shakespeare aficionado, it would've already been in the article. --62.166.252.25 (talk) 06:11, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
Not so. Rcarter555 (talk) 06:27, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Pregnancy News

Hello. News about Margot Robbie being pregnant was released in early July (via People Magazine). However, Wikipedia editors have reverted any edits adding info about this in the article since Robbie hasn't seemingly confirmed her pregnancy herself. This is understandable. However, in an interview, Robbie's Barbie costar Ariana Greenblatt confirmed that Robbie is pregnant. (See the article here: https://people.com/barbie-s-ariana-greenblatt-says-her-mom-guessed-margot-robbie-s-pregnancy-before-the-news-broke-8693523.) I believe this is verification enough for Robbie's pregnancy news to be included in the article. Let me know what you think so we can reach a consensus. Thanks, CallieCrewmanAuthor (talk) 01:06, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources says "the magazine should not be used for contentious claims unless supplemented with a stronger source.". That article is written in a particularly tabloid style that instantly triggered my scepticism. Content such as "her mom, Soli, had a dream about Robbie's pregnancy" is a serious trigger. There MUST be a better source somewhere. HiLo48 (talk) 01:54, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
Per this, "Multiple sources confirm to PEOPLE that the Barbie star, 34, and husband Tom Ackerley are expecting their first baby". Alexandra Daddario backed this claim. Kailash29792 (talk) 02:48, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
That second, probably independent source is good, but the word "adorably" doesn't belong in quality journalism either. I recommend citing both sources. HiLo48 (talk) 03:14, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
At this time, sources' framing of the supposed pregnancy does not merit a neutral claim here about Robbie being pregnant. Yes, Robbie is probably pregnant. So what? Every source has attributed their reporting to anonymous sources, published that it has been reported elsewhere that Robbie is pregnant, or included a quote from somebody famous suggesting Robbie is pregnant. None has neutrally said so. The only appropriate way to write about any pregnancy is "Robbie is reportedly pregnant" or "actors Ariana Greenblatt and Alexandra Daddario have suggested that Robbie is pregnant". Which of these meets WP:BLPGOSSIP and WP:NOTNEWS? KyleJoantalk 04:21, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
Worst kept secret. Kailash29792 (talk) 04:07, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
Tell that to her and the sources that have only suggested she is pregnant (and would not neutrally state as much). As an observer, I'm convinced she's pregnant. As a user, "I'm convinced she's pregnant" fails BLPGOSSIP and NOTNEWS. KyleJoantalk 04:28, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
It's obviously clear that she's pregnant, and it's ridiculous to fight over sourcing when WP:COMMONSENSE should triumph. Having said that, simply being pregnant does not warrant a mention in her bio. Let her deliver her child, which should then be mentioned. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 06:07, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
The discussion isn't about whether she's pregnant, though. It's about whether we should include a neutral claim stating it. It sounds like you're saying pregnancies aren't appropriate to include regardless of sourcing. This point contradicts the COMMONSENSE reference because that essay suggests that we could ignore the policies referenced and include a claim, so which is it–should a claim be included as per COMMONSENSE or excluded based on something else? KyleJoantalk 09:52, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
Not a binary argument. Pregnancies by themselves aren't notable for inclusion. Also, the COMMONSENSE argument doesn't ask us to disregard policies. What I'm trying to say is that, if the pregnancy claim needs to be included then the current sourcing is fine, because it's obvious that she's pregnant, per COMMONSENSE. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 09:58, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
So why reference COMMONSENSE at all if it's irrelevant to whether this material should be included? KyleJoantalk 10:13, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
Because COMMONSENSE is literally the argument! Krimuk2.0 (talk) 10:16, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
There's proving, and then there's knowing. But if the rule is not to add info on her pregnancy simply because it is unnotable/she didn't confirm it herself, I'll leave it at that. Kailash29792 (talk) 10:28, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
COMMONSENSE is about making helpful edits despite what the "rules" are. Unless the essay is used to support how it's helpful to include or exclude a claim about Robbie being pregnant, it sounds more like COMMONSENSE would be the argument in some other dispute to include some other claim. KyleJoantalk 10:29, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
Since she's so obviously pregnant, I think we should add it. It's not non-notable. CallieCrewmanAuthor (talk) 23:08, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
