Writing career

Should there be a subsection dedicated to Ratajkowski's writing career? At this point, she has published multiple essays in notable outlets, and her first book is due to be published this year. Given these developments, it might also make sense to add 'writer' to the list of occupations in the opening sentence and in the side box. Orangestwo (talk) 05:05, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

I agree here. She's now published a New York Times Bestselling essay collection. Nearly a dozen of these essays have appeared in other magazines, such as New York Magazine, before they were published in a collection. In a profile interview by Andrea Long Chu, it's noted that people gossiped that she would hire a ghostwriter or put an image of herself on the cover. She did neither which speaks to me as a writer taking their craft i.e. words and sentences and paragraphs and storytelling pretty seriously (this is an opinion, though). It seems like part of her identity as well as professional output includes writing serious essays in serious places. Peoplelikeyoulikeme (talk) 14:53, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

Good article reassessment

I think this article has kind of lost in quality since it has been promoted to good article, and the laast reassessment in 2018. I would suggest to file a GA-reassessment as a start. Any thoughts on that? Lectonar (talk) 14:17, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

I agree. Although it's strange. I keep attempting to edit the article so that it sounds less gossipy and has 2023 updates (like, she's an award winning writer...) however someone keeps reverting those edits. It feels like vandalism. I've requested to semi-protect the page but haven't heard back.
Is there anything to be done? Peoplelikeyoulikeme (talk) 22:18, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
I also keep adding that she is a writer to her intro page. It keeps getting taken down saying this is not notable.
Here's a list of links that review her first book which is a collection of essays that have been published in major publications both online and in print. These book reviews also are major publications. Are there certain guidelines for what constitutes a writer? Why can't someone be a model, actress, and a writer? I feel like I'm missing some important guideline that regarding writers. I've published a number of pages and edited a number of pages for writers. Some of these writers are notable for other things, too, besides writing and they haven't won major awards, published essays in major publications, or have not had a NYT Bestseller yet Wikipedia editors have approved writer in their intro section.

Would love to have a conversation about this, if possible. Or, should I bring this up at a Wikipedia-Edit-athon or email editors directly about this? Peoplelikeyoulikeme (talk) 19:35, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
first of all, someone isnt a "writer" or "author" because he/she has released one book. second, read MOS:ROLEBIO --FMSky (talk) 19:41, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
Awesome, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. We're on the same team here as we are both Wikipedia editors. I appreciate your help. Fingers crossed she continues to write and eventually writes the minimum requirement of books it takes to be considered a writer on Wikipedia. Thanks again!

Citizenship

I agree that the citizenship/nationality should not indiscriminately be the place a person is born in (as someone who has lived my entire life in a country in which I'm not a citizen). I think the source cited, a modelling website with some biographical details on her, may not be reliable enough to make the claim that she is a British citizen. jolielover♥talk 07:37, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

English people categories?

Ratajkowski is listed as belonging to several categories for English people. Unless someone can come forward with an explanation, I intend to remove these. ☆ Bri (talk) 01:10, 21 January 2026 (UTC)

Never mind, it was a recent addition already reverted once before by another editor. I just restored the 29 December revision. ☆ Bri (talk) 01:24, 21 January 2026 (UTC)
