Change "He has variously attributed the name Owl City to either his sister having a pet owl which once got loose in her church, or the 1962 short film An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge." to "He has stated that the Owl City comes from the 1962 short film An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge." He's an only child and this is incorrect. Catlord1004 (talk) 00:35, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Tollens (talk) 02:09, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just change “Aspergers syndrome” to “autistic”, the term is outdated and widely shunned by the autistic community I-presume-n0t-Poseidon (talk) 22:09, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit semi-protected}} template. It is how Adam Young described himself and it is not a diagnosis. RudolfRed (talk) 00:22, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 14 June 2023

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Owl City. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
