Irish Times list of greatest film actors Comment Comment

I added this line: In 2020, he was listed at number 2 on The Irish Times list of Ireland's greatest film actors.^[1] which was reverted with the reason "Covered in mention greatest actors. Avoid specifying nationality."

The sentence is accurate, relevant, and from a reliable source. Is there an issue with referring to him as Irish? It says in the article that he has dual nationality and categories refer to him as Irish. --GeneralBelly (talk) 21:27, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously there is an issue with "referring to him as Irish" given the edit history here. But the editor who reverted you had no business doing so. The source is perfectly legitimate for the content you are trying to add. I also don't understand why you need to "avoid specifying nationality". Describe him however the source does.Jonathan f1 (talk) 02:51, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Seems Daniel Day Lewis is quite strident in proclaiming his English roots and connection, mentioning many times in interviews and at awards shows. Trying to find the transcript of his many comments from an acceptable source is tough. https://phantomthread.tumblr.com/post/139376780619 https://kathyddl.tripod.com/question.htm https://www.wmagazine.com/story/exclusive-daniel-day-lewis-giving-up-acting-phantom-thread "I have no illusion about the fact that I`m an Englishman living in Ireland. Even though I do straddle both worlds and I`m very proud to be able to carry both passports." 'If I really chose to look at myself, I'd say that probably the thing I'm least interested in about myself is the fact that I'm a middle-class Englishman. So therefore it doesn't really appeal to me the idea of exploring that experience. Probably since childhood, I think my curiosity was almost invariably fired by the mystery of lives I didn't understand. My first school in south-east London only took me a few miles from my comfortable life in Greenwich, but it took me to the frontline in south-east London.'Halbared (talk) 19:09, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

DDL self-identity is part of his brand, it seems clear cut that he is English, and described as such in many sources.Halbared (talk) 08:14, 27 September 2021 (UTC) After looking at the guide on UK nationals; Wikipedia:Nationality of people from the United Kingdom#Guide_to_finding_UK_nationality it says, Look specifically for evidence that the person has a preferred nationality.Halbared (talk) 08:51, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The first sentence of this profile reads incorrectly and sounds like it was written by a non-native English speaker. Daniel Day Lewis is a retired English actor is how it should read (currently it says "an English retired actor"). 78.252.100.20 (talk) 09:45, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
