hello all, not entirely sure how editing on here works but i wanted to bring to your attention that “everything i wanted” is not a single off of “when we all fall asleep, where do we go?” though it is listed as such. have fun doing your thing on here, and sorry that i most likely did not point this out appropriately!

There is a clear consensus to use the previous image, File:Billie Eilish 2019 by Glenn Francis.jpg, instead of File:Billie Eilish at Pukkelpop Festival - 18 AUGUST 2019 (08) (cropped).jpg. There is no prejudice against discussing the use of another image such as those suggested by Koavf.
To avoid a possible edit war, here is an RfC regarding the main image. I personally think this image that was previously used File:Billie_Eilish_2019_by_Glenn_Francis.jpg is more suitable. Should we change it to that one? Aitch & Aitch Aitch ( talk) 15:14, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
I personally think that the main image should change. Although I got nothing really against the image, the issue stems from the fact the her facial expression is not inviting.

Hi @ Trillfendi - would you mind expanding on why you undid my edit to the early life section? Of course, she was born with the last name O'Connell, but the entire article, when not using her full name, refers to her as "Eilish" rather than "O'Connell." Is there a compelling reason to keep referring to her as O'Connell in this section? Other notable people who go by a different professional name are referred to by that professional last name throughout their articles (for example, Martin Sheen or Cary Grant). I had thought that changing it would add to the article's clarity, but happy to keep as is if that's more in keeping with Wikipedia in general. Leyarburns ( talk) 18:29, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

At the end of the Career section currently, the release of the title track for No Time to Die as a single on February 13 precedes the awards she won at the Grammys ceremony (on January 26). I guess this part of the article came to be written like this because the announcement that she was the artist who recorded (or was going to record) the title track was made before the Grammys ceremony. I suggest removing mention of the announcement, as it is no longer noteworthy now that the single has been released (if I'm wrong and it remains noteworthy, the article should explain that) and moving the rest to follow the Grammys, or separating the sentences about the title track into their own paragraph. — 173.129.235.246 ( talk) 17:43, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

I request that the first line of the article be changed to "...is an American singer, songwriter, and director." Billie has directed two of her music videos.
Under the Artistry heading, it should be included that Billie directed the music video for her song "everything i wanted" which was released 23 January 2020.
Additionally, most of Billie's song titles are stylized using all lowercase letters, yet this article capitalizes all her song titles. This should be changed.

Billie recently announced that she has made a documentary that will be released on Apple TV. The documentary’s name is “The World’s a Little Blurry”. I’m a new editor so I can’t make the edit myself, so it would be great if someone could do it for me. It’s expected to be released in February 2021. Billie has a clip with all of these details posted on her Instagram that you could use as a citation.

Yes, she plays music generally described as being both as "pop" and "dark", but those two elements alone do not make a genre. Now, this isn't an edit request yet as we could use a bit further investigation to suggest better genres to place her in (while most mainstream press sucks at this knowledge, there's enough encyclopedically relevant coverage sites which do get more properly music nerdy), but I seriously don't think there's any relevance to this pseudogenre. -- 181.115.61.86 ( talk) 05:02, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

I think it is well known enough that Billie Eilish knows how to play the piano and ukulele. And it doesn't matter that she is not frequently performing live with those instruments. It's a disservice to leave those aspects of her abilities out of her Wikipedia page.

Billie Eilish is known for her colorful and exotic hair colors through the years. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thisismyusernameteehee ( talk • contribs) 15:54, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
Can someone update the bottom of the career section? “Your Power” debuted at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100. That sentence should go after the sentence that talks about her release of the song. Joyasaxena21 ( talk) 20:12, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
Since Billie changed her hair colour, causing a stir of interest and breaking 8 Instagram records, forming her new era and defining it, isn’t it just fair for us to depict her in a recent, updated way, rather then an old version from an older era? I won’t make the change if I am told not to but this is just a small suggestion. Ary123mal ( talk) 06:58, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

Sources on Eilish's parents, mother Maggie Baird and father Patrick O'Connel's primary professions:
Majority of reliable sources note that the parents' primary professions was the arts: actors with the mother also being a screenwriter, and both also musicians who taught their kids instruments and songwriting (the mother also released an album). According to sources, they both now work on Eilish's tours. Some sources mention that at some point they had also gotten a side job or two. This side job trivia isn't notable to write about in this article, which is not the parents' article. Only their primary professions (whether or not they were famous), as noted by most of reliable sources, should be included here. Trillfendi, stop your disruptive editing on the parents - [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10]. You are repeatedly posting original research here, misrepresenting what majority of sources say, ignoring WP:NPOV, and acting like you're personally involved. And nowhere are they called "amateurs" in the cited sources. Again, per the family, they taught their kids music and songwriting and the mother released an album. Stop writing misleading content.

Bold and italic text Billie Eilish is 17
Consistency in the way we refer to her is necessary. As I noted in my edit summary, see Prince, Madonna, and Bob Dylan, or even Elliot Page, where they are referred to by their later names, even in their early life sections. Calling her O'Connell in one section is incredibly confusing to someone scanning the article, especially since there is no explanation as to why we suddenly refer to her as 'Eilish' in the next section. Ultimately, it just does not make sense to try and be 'cute' in that way. This is an encyclopedia article, it's not supposed to be read in real time. On WP, if someone changes their name/is known as something different from their birth name, we call them that consistently, even if it is technically inaccurate to refer to Madonna as Madonna when she was a child. The same applies here ‡ El cid, el campeador talk 19:20, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

Billie Eilish has endorsed Joe Biden. See https://twitter.com/billieeilish/status/1296259757209051137 and https://edition.cnn.com/2020/08/20/entertainment/billie-eilish-dnc-performance-my-future-trnd/index.html 134.3.255.195 ( talk) 10:09, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
Billie recently announced that she has made a documentary that will be released on Apple TV. The documentary’s name is “The World’s a Little Blurry”. I’m a new editor so I can’t make the edit myself, so it would be great if someone could do it for me. It’s expected to be released in February 2021. Billie has a clip with all of these details posted on her Instagram that you could use as a citation.

Please add in some information about Billies new song, 'I think there for i am' and how the music video was filmed in her old favourite hang out spot, a shopping centre. Niamh.dutton13 ( talk) 19:29, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
Yes, she plays music generally described as being both as "pop" and "dark", but those two elements alone do not make a genre. Now, this isn't an edit request yet as we could use a bit further investigation to suggest better genres to place her in (while most mainstream press sucks at this knowledge, there's enough encyclopedically relevant coverage sites which do get more properly music nerdy), but I seriously don't think there's any relevance to this pseudogenre. -- 181.115.61.86 ( talk) 05:02, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
Billie is very frequently put in Alt pop, we could add that. Apple Music often showcases her as the background picture for Alternative pop Ary123mal ( talk) 07:00, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
I assume that she is a registered due paying member of the Demcoratic Party due to her performance at the DNC and she should be mentioned as a democrat — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.222.180.90 ( talk) 18:19, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
I feel like the main image does not match her appearance anymore. She is now 19 and that photo is her with blue hair at 17. She has since changed her appearance. Charlixyd ( talk) 09:06, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

I think it is well known enough that Billie Eilish knows how to play the piano and ukulele. And it doesn't matter that she is not frequently performing live with those instruments. It's a disservice to leave those aspects of her abilities out of her Wikipedia page.

Hi, can you please update the career section? Billie released a single on Thursday but that’s not recorded in the career section. There’s nothing talking about the single she just released. Joyasaxena21 ( talk) 07:51, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
At the end of the career section, where it talks about the vinyl formats, please add Billie’s release of her new single “Your Power” that she released on Thursday. Joyasaxena21 ( talk) 19:15, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
The career section is not updated. Billie released a new single on Thursday. Why is it not updated? Joyasaxena21 ( talk) 19:14, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

Billie Eilish is known for her colorful and exotic hair colors through the years. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thisismyusernameteehee ( talk • contribs) 15:54, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
Can someone update the bottom of the career section? “Your Power” debuted at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100. That sentence should go after the sentence that talks about her release of the song. Joyasaxena21 ( talk) 20:12, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
Since Billie changed her hair colour, causing a stir of interest and breaking 8 Instagram records, forming her new era and defining it, isn’t it just fair for us to depict her in a recent, updated way, rather then an old version from an older era? I won’t make the change if I am told not to but this is just a small suggestion. Ary123mal ( talk) 06:58, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
Can we put her dating history on the “Personal Life” section? Joyasaxena21 ( talk) 06:11, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
Sources on Eilish's parents, mother Maggie Baird and father Patrick O'Connel's primary professions:
Majority of reliable sources note that the parents' primary professions was the arts: actors with the mother also being a screenwriter, and both also musicians who taught their kids instruments and songwriting (the mother also released an album). According to sources, they both now work on Eilish's tours. Some sources mention that at some point they had also gotten a side job or two. This side job trivia isn't notable to write about in this article, which is not the parents' article. Only their primary professions (whether or not they were famous), as noted by most of reliable sources, should be included here. Trillfendi, stop your disruptive editing on the parents - [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10]. You are repeatedly posting original research here, misrepresenting what majority of sources say, ignoring WP:NPOV, and acting like you're personally involved. And nowhere are they called "amateurs" in the cited sources. Again, per the family, they taught their kids music and songwriting and the mother released an album. Stop writing misleading content.

Bold and italic text Billie Eilish is 17
Consistency in the way we refer to her is necessary. As I noted in my edit summary, see Prince, Madonna, and Bob Dylan, or even Elliot Page, where they are referred to by their later names, even in their early life sections. Calling her O'Connell in one section is incredibly confusing to someone scanning the article, especially since there is no explanation as to why we suddenly refer to her as 'Eilish' in the next section. Ultimately, it just does not make sense to try and be 'cute' in that way. This is an encyclopedia article, it's not supposed to be read in real time. On WP, if someone changes their name/is known as something different from their birth name, we call them that consistently, even if it is technically inaccurate to refer to Madonna as Madonna when she was a child. The same applies here ‡ El cid, el campeador talk 19:20, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
