I see this pattern repeated a lot where someone is listed as "best known for" - well in this case it says she is "best known" for a role in a movie that grossed 40 million worldwide vs a movie that grossed $300 million. I mean come on now, by what criteria is an actor best known for if it isn't the literal worldwide exposure of their movies? 67.83.201.3 ( talk) 09:56, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
Would like to make the following edit request. To remove Queen's Gate School from this page. It appears in two sections, in the 'Early Life' section and in the summary section on the right hand side.
The early life section will read as follows and the education section will simply be removed from the summary box.
Early life Taylor-Joy was born in Miami, Florida, the youngest of six children.[3] Her mother worked in photography and interior design and is British-Spanish.[4][5] Her father, a former international banker, is Scottish-Argentinian.[4][5][6][7][8] Taylor-Joy moved to Argentina as an infant and only spoke Spanish before moving to London at age 6. She attended the preparatory school Hill House in Kensington. She is a former ballet dancer.[3][10] At the age of 16, she was scouted as a model while walking outside Harrods Department Store by Sarah Doukas of Storm Model Management. It was through her work as a model that she met and signed with an acting agent.[11][12]

I believe but may be wrong that "Argentine" is preferred by middle class British English especially, Americans and Aussies tend to use "Argentinian" . I do know from my grandfather's British shipping logs from the 1920s that he would refer to Argentina as "the Argentine". Does Wikipedia have a standard? And what do Argentines/Argentinians prefer, is there any data in such regards or do their views not count? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C8:3D03:D300:7002:EBFA:9D5B:6784 ( talk) 00:55, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
This filmography isn't anywhere near lengthy enough to be split from the main article due to WP:SIZE concerns, which is the reason filmographies are split from their parent article. ~Cheers, Ten Ton Parasol 18:58, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
A while ago Belagaile added a {{ family name hatnote}} to the article saying that Taylor-Joy is a Spanish compound surname. I don't think that's true: Spanish surnames are not hypenated, and neither of Taylor-Joy's parents have Spanish double surnames themselves. It seems to me that Taylor-Joy is an English double-barrelled name. However, I don't see that it's discussed in any of the sources in the article. Should the note be removed?

The text in the Early life section seems to contradict itself. Why would "Taylor-Joy and her family [move] from Miami to Buenos Aires when she was an infant" when "her parents had simply been on vacation in [Miami] at the time [of her birth]"? You don't "move from" a place you were vacationing in, do you?— indopug ( talk) 09:59, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
I would like to suggest the removal of the sentence "Taylor-Joy's likeness was used for the character Valkyrie Cain on the tenth anniversary cover of Skulduggery Pleasant, and subsequently on the seventh, eighth, ninth, and fourteenth books in the series of the same name". There is no source linked and this information seemingly stems from a couple posts on Tumblr accusing the cover artist Tom Percival of tracing his art (e.g. https://facelessxchurch.tumblr.com/post/190938307962/tell-me-this-isnt-literally-just-a-photo-of-a). Additionally, the author of the series, Derek Landy, has virtually dismissed these ideas (at least for book 14) on Twitter. It seems at best a suspected instance of sloppy art work unconfirmed by official sources and at worst slander of the artist. In neither case should the mentioned sentence be a statement on Taylor-Joy's page. ZetaBean ( talk) 14:05, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

It's not encyclopedic. Some involved editor should go thru this and cast out the fannish comments and make it more 'dry.' It isn't Wiki's place to be pushing how great she is, so to speak. A more neutral article is called for. 50.111.28.86 ( talk) 22:21, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
