Name

Hey! So, I'm translating the 'HMHAS' part to portuguese, then I saw Billie's name... It's actually written as "William" lol! Just asking to someone fix it. Thanks! Nandasou (talk) 00:41, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

“Identifies as bisexual”

I believe that this should be changed to “is bisexual” as LGBT people do not identify as anything, they simply are. If you wouldn’t say a straight person identifies as straight, why say that somebody who’s bi identifies as it? Veritycode (talk) 00:42, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did this, if it is reverted, we will find out, but. I did write "Billie is bisexual". Makerofepic (talk) 00:24, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Makerofepic @Veritycode: while still not perfect, I do believe this is somewhat better as from my understanding she has never used a label for herself. Elias / PSA 🏕️🪐 ^{[please make some noise]} 02:17, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pirate?

I have read some things that mention that pirate is Billie's nickname and not actually her middle name. Anyone found a reputable source that says that pirate is in fact her actual middle name? ~~~~ TechChickCapri (talk) 18:47, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

please update her picture it’s getting too outdated 2601:602:D000:2B90:7D80:B6C6:F9F:519D (talk) 05:40, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have declined the request for now. Are you talking about the first picture? It is less than 13 months old. You can suggest an alternative here though. You could take a look at c:Category:Billie Eilish or suggest a swap with an existing photo in the article.--Commander Keane (talk) 06:21, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ex and Influences

“while Matthew Tyler Vorce, her reported boyfriend at the time, received criticism for alleged social media posts in which he used offensive language and slurs against gay and Black people”. This whole sentence should be deleted. I don’t know why is relevant to write something that her ex (an unknown person by the general public) did 10 years before he dated Billie. You don’t see Matty Healy’s controversies written on Taylor Swift’s page, so I don’t know why it would be any different with Billie.

“Other influences include Adele, Earl Sweatshirt, James Blake, Amy Winehouse, the Spice Girls, Lorde, Marina and the Diamonds, Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj, XXXTentacion, and Twenty One Pilots.”. Artists like Adele, James Blake, the Spice Girls, Lorde, Britney Spears and Taylor Swift were never mentioned as artists that influenced her. In those articles linked Billie only mentions that she grew up listening to their music or a specific song, but she never mentions them as her influences. So either this sentence should be rephrased or deleted. Luh78 (talk) 01:46, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-Almost every song title in this article is referenced with a "corrected" presentation and <em>Stylized as</em> note with the actual title. What is the reasoning for this? I understand Wikipedia has certain guidelines for this, but don't those generally apply only to article titles? Even there I think they would only demand capitalizing the first letter in a title of a work. I don't see any references to <em>"I Would Die For You (Stylized as "I Would Die 4 U")"</em> on the [[Purple Rain (album)|Purple Rain]] article, for a counter-example.

+“'''while Matthew Tyler Vorce, her reported boyfriend at the time, received criticism for alleged social media posts in which he used offensive language and slurs against gay and Black people'''”. This whole sentence should be deleted. I don’t know why is relevant to write something that her ex (an unknown person by the general public) did 10 years before he dated Billie. You don’t see Matty Healy’s controversies written on Taylor Swift’s page, so I don’t know why it would be any different with Billie.

Artists like Adele, James Blake, the Spice Girls, Lorde, Britney Spears and Taylor Swift were never mentioned as artists that influenced her. In those articles linked Billie only mentions that she grew up listening to their music or a specific song, but she never mentions them as her influences. So either this sentence should be rephrased or deleted. [[User:Luh78|Luh78]] ([[User talk:Luh78|talk]]) 01:46, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

-== why she is the best ==
-she really tries her best to be there for her fans which she calls family because if it weren't for them she wouldn't be where she is today . I personally love her as a singer and a person in general she is a great role model and even though some parents don't approve of her gloomy lyrics I love them . if they actually knew what the meaning was behind them then they would love them to . take her new song "Wish you were gay" aka "wywg" a lot of people are getting offended by this song by only reading the title ,if they listened to this song in more depth they would know and also if they did their research because this song actually isn't "new" it was writing 3 years ago about a boy who billie was madly in love with but he didn't feel the same way and she just wishes he was gay so that he would have a real reason not to love her back instead of just "not being his type" I feel that if everyone knew who they were hating on they would feel bad so please stop making remarks you don't even know are true or if you don't know the whole story . thank you [[User:Ilovebillie|Ilovebillie]] ([[User talk:Ilovebillie|talk]]) 22:51, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

-In the last line of the opening paragraph, she is credited as having a platinum album through the RIAA. This is not true, verifiable through [https://www.riaa.com/gold-platinum/?tab_active=default-award&se=Billie+Eilish#search_section the RIAA's website]. Please change "Through the RIAA, Eilish has seven gold and two platinum singles, along with one platinum album." to "Through the RIAA, Eilish has seven gold and two platinum singles.".
-She does have an ''EP'' which sold at the level of RIAA-certified platinum albums [https://chartmasters.org/2019/02/streaming-masters-billie-eilish/ (see EOS comparison)], but the RIAA doesn't give Silver/Gold/Plat Album certifications to EP's even if they are of album length, so calling her a "RIAA Platinum album selling artist" is incorrect.

-:Hi, thanks for your question. But first of all, per [[WP:BLP]], which applies to all of the Wikipedia, even on a talk page you can't make (or even just describe, as you are here) allegations against a person without providing a ref. I'v provided one, otherwise I would have had to scrub your comment. It's OK, a lot of people don't realize this about [[WP:BLP]]
-:([https://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/industry-plant-rap-indie-chance-akademiks-clairo-raury/Content?oid=68953004 Here's a ref], it's the Chicago Reader which, enh... it says "I've seen the term used against [person], Billie Eilish, [person], [person], and [person]. ... 'I think that a lot of people understand that the term doesn't really hold much weight.'"
-:on the merits, no, I wouldn't include it. Sounds like it's just gossip. Even including it descriptively ("Some people say...") gives it too much credence and kind of spreads the rumor, or at least the ''existance'' of the rumor, which casts a shadow on Eilish I suppose... per [[WP:BLP]] we only want to do that when we really have to.
