Pronunciation of Cockburn

The page needs to be edited, as it seems to claim that the New York Times article tells us Cockburn is pronounced co-burn. It doesn't, and as far as I can tell, there is no evidence to support the claim that that's how the name is pronounced. 71.236.185.15 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:23, 4 October 2009 (UTC).[reply]

/ˈkoʊbərn/ is just how the name Cockburn_(surname) is pronounced. It's a quirk of the Scottish language. It's kinda like how Americans say "aluminium" funny. 86.167.58.162 (talk) 03:15, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well to be fair to our American friends, they pronounce "aluminum" as they spell it, not quite the same as the pronunciation quirk of "Cockburn". – ukexpat (talk) 18:33, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that's true. It's just regional differences and silent letters. It's also like how business is pronounced biz-ness and not biz-ee-ness — you just don't sound the 'i' 86.151.128.124 (talk) 01:22, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's pronounced "co-burn." That's just the way it is. As a friend of her younger brother, I would also reccomend that we add her younger brother, Charlie Cockburn, who just graduated from Phillips Academy and will be attending Oxford in the fall." 74.243.252.94 (talk) 06:19, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is pronounced co-burn like Bruce Cockburn. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Cockburn — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.89.229.157 (talk) 05:08, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Talk about an aptronym if there ever was one. She should have kept using it professionally. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.102.227.51 (talk) 16:10, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Living in the UK, I've never heard it pronounced as anything other than Co-burn, except in a comic TV advert for Cockburn's port, where it is deliberately mispronounced as 'Cock-burn'.2A00:23C8:7906:1301:5CD9:BCC7:BE42:174A (talk) 23:57, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 3 November 2021

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

In the career section it states "She had a supporting role as a blind date in the drama/romance/sci-fi film Her (2012)." For the 2003-2012 section. And then it again mentions her starring in the movie Her in the next section 2013-2018, saying the movie was released in 2013. The movie was released in 2013, so the first part that I quoted above should be deleted. 2600:1012:B01A:1661:8375:7449:8D37:4225 (talk) 19:01, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Partner Status

Harry Styles has never confirmed his relationship to Olivia Wilde. As said in his dazed interview, he likes to keep his personal and work life separate. It’s very unclear as to why they’re partner status has been set as each other when other celebrities such as Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello, who have straight out confirmed their relationship in the past, don’t even have this. There’s never been a confirmation by Olivia or Harry that confirms their relationship. Vanessaaruby (talk) 06:40, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Dates of Relationship with Harry Styles

There seems to be a discrepancy between the Harry Styles wiki page, the Olivia Wilde wiki page and within sections of the Olivia Wilde Wikipedia page as to the dates of the relationship. Can this be reviewed?

Olivia Wilde Wiki page

Overview section

“* Jason Sudeikis (2011–2020)

Harry Styles (2020-present)”

Bio section

“In January 2021, Wilde began dating Harry Styles after meeting in November 2020 during the filming of Wilde's Don't Worry Darling.[82][83]”

Harry Styles Wikipedia page

“Since January 2021, Styles has been in a relationship with actress and director Olivia Wilde.[177][178][179]“ 173.227.72.99 (talk) 03:25, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Additional: Categorical denial of relationship w/ Olivia Wilde by Harry Styles (including citations)

Harry Styles categorically denied any relationship with Olivia Wilde directly in a recent publication from Dazed Magazine. Kindly see below quote and urls for your reference, and update this page if possible:

“ His relationship with Wilde has been a daily feature of celebrity gossip rags, though the privacy around it is closely guarded by Styles and images of them together are scarce.

“I’ve always tried to compartmentalise my personal life and my working life,” [Harry Styles] explains. Paparazzi snaps suggest the two are very much in love, though any assumptions on his love life are curtailed for his Dazed cover story.” - Nov 15, 2021, Dazed Magazine interview.

Update Relationship Status to “Reported” from Actual

The Harry Styles Wikipedia page was recently updated based on this exchange to indicate that his relationship with Olivia Wilde rumored, rather than confirmed. Can this page be updated to reflect this change to Style’s page? Please see discussion below for details. 00:47, 15 May 2022 (UTC)00:47, 15 May 2022 (UTC)~~<<<<

The current Wikipedia article as written indicates that Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde are definitively in a relationship whereas it only appears to be a rumor.

Please update the language of this article accordingly. I made a previous thread that appears to be locked regarding this request. The relationship does not appear to be real, only rumored/fan theory.

Proposed revision: “Styles has been rumored to be dating Olivia Wilde. This relationship has not been confirmed to date.” 129.115.195.52 (talk) 00:44, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

I believe that these existing three citations in the current version of the article indicate that Styles is in a relationship with Wilde.

Peaceray (talk) 03:46, 11 May 2022 (UTC) While I can understand a wish that 13 be available for dating, personally I preferred Dr Cameron. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 18:18, 11 May 2022 (UTC) That said, per above sources and MOS:DATED, I don't mind if we write "Since and as of 2021, he is in relationship with..." or just "As of 2021, he..."
