Talk:Timothée Chalamet/Archive 3

I don’t think a statement from just one article deserves a mention here. This particular “noodle boys” reference is not a general sentiment and has not been corroborated or mentioned by any other outlets. I believe this section should only highlight general and common views and perceptions of him. Soe743edits (talk) 18:37, 27 June 2025 (UTC)

File:Timothée Chalamet in London 2025 (cropped).jpg became available after last discussion. What do you guys think of replacing the current photo with this one? ArturSik (talk) 20:17, 18 July 2025 (UTC)

I think it looks good and shows his full face, either one is fine. IXCat (talk) 22:40, 30 July 2025 (UTC)

I dont think it’s a flattering picture for his wiki page, the lighting is too harsh on his features. current one is much better in my opinion. Soe743edits (talk) 06:18, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

Perhaps we can update the photo to this one File:Timothée Chalamet 2025 2 (cropped).jpg where he's in more formal wear? It's also not an awkward angle or unflattering close-up. Miss HollyJ (talk) 06:19, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

Completely agree. I think this is the best of the bunch. Especially when zoomed in, it’s not unflattering like the previous one suggested. Soe743edits (talk) 07:39, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

@Miss HollyJ: In my opinion, the current photograph (c:File:Timothée Chalamet-63482 (cropped).jpg) is fine. It was chosen through this discussion: Talk:Timothée Chalamet/Archive 3#Infobox image. Please consider starting an RfC. Khiikiat (talk) 06:53, 17 November 2025 (UTC)

To the regular, registered editors watch-listing this article:

Please state the reasoning, and intended duration, for the edit restrictions imposed on this popular GA article. It is contrary to founders' intentions—the two, yes, but not just the two, the entire founding generation that established WP policies—to maintain articles for long periods without the general ability of all incoming readers to edit.

Restrictions to editing should be maintained only as long as it takes for the emotion to subside behind a given event leading to edit-warring; and/or until restrictive interventions directed toward specific offending editors (blocks for vandalism, etc.) can my instituted. General, long-lasting restrictions on editing by non-offending, non-registered editors have never been seen as the best answer, or as a long-standing status quo, for any article (and especially and particularly, not for ones rated mid- to low-importance).

From a practical persepctive, limiting the article in the current way prevents simple, non-POV edits that are WP:VERIFY- and WP:OR-directed and compliant from being performed—copy edits and beyond—to the detriment of the article; and, it creates the impression of WP:OWNership by a limited cadres of editors.

Neither of these are outcomes/optics WP needs at this time. [Signed, a former faculty registered editor of very longstanding.] ~2025-38509-63 (talk) 14:49, 11 December 2025 (UTC)

Kudos to earlier editors that have given so much to make this article—for the parts, such as the lead and Early life, that we have reviewed—such a good example of quality editing in compliance with WP:VERIFY. Bravissimi.

A trio of copy edits to perform, before the restriction on editing is lifted (see immediately preceding Talk post):

1, Change the author name format for current reference [25] to one consistent with the general style of the article. (The near uniform name presentation style of the article is "Last, First"; this citation is a WP:CITEVAR outlier.) Note, we have not done a thorough review for citation content and style consistency (use of {{cite... markup, presentation of authors, titles, etc.), and since other exceptions are likely, this request might prompt either a lifting of editorial restrictions (so we can contribute), or a more thorough review of the citation styles for consistency (either way, so the work gets done).

Re: the following pair of sentences in the "Early life..." section:

His French father, Marc Chalamet, is an editor for the UNICEF and New York correspondent for Le Parisien.^[5][12][13] Marc is from Nîmes and is of Protestant background.^[11][14]

2, Remove the definite article, "the", before ,"UNICEF", or perform a similar meaning-clarifying edit of the sentence. Use of the defintie article leads to sentence misreading—suggesting that "UNICEF and New York" jointly precede and modify "correspondent"—and so, likely, the article should simply be removed. (While "the UNICEF" might be formally correct—e.g., if one presumes readers see the abbreviation and read its expanded meaning, "the United Nations..."—most readers do not, and so the definite article is not necessary in this context. Simply put, the sentence reads correctly if that article is omitted. Alternatively, if insistent that the definite article remain, a comma should be placed after UNICEF, to make clear that two distinct positions are being described.

3, We object to familiar expressions as contrary to best journalistic and encyclopedic practices. The person being written about is not a friend or acquaintance, and so is not someone with whom we are on a first name basis. As such, we suggest that other expressions—"the elder Chalamet", "Chalamet, the father", or similar—be used, rather than referring to him in instances subsequent to the first simply as "Marc". In this case, the solution may be simpler, insofar as the two sentences can be joined, so the sentence subject does not need to be restated, e.g.:

Marc Chalamet, his French father, a New York correspondent for Le Parisien and an editor for UNICEF,^[5][12][13] is from Nîmes, France, and is from a Protestant heritage.^[11][14]

The specific edits offered are not the only ways to solve these three small copy edit issues, but they are, despite being small, issues that should be addressed—the first for article consistency, the second for readability, and the third based on journalistic/encyclopedic best practice.

Hey all. This section seems to be drifting into trivia which often happens and why we tend incorporate relevant information into the biography section instead of having a separate 'Personal Life' section. It might be a good idea to consider doing the same here. ArturSik (talk) 14:33, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi! This is fair but I do think a Personal life section is useful in this case. I'll let other users weigh in, in the meantime I'll try to re-write it to fit Wiki standards. IXCat (talk) 22:24, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

I'm not sure about merging sections, but I think mentions of him being a "fan" of certain sport teams are WP:FANCRUFT. I'd remove those and move his aspiration to be a soccer player and the YouTube channel stuff to the Early life section, leaving only the relationship and career influences in the Personal life section. Poirot09 (talk) 10:11, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

This is a good idea, let's see if anyone else or OP has anything else to add. IXCat (talk) 11:37, 7 January 2026 (UTC)

The article claims that Chalamet is in a relationship with Kylie Jenner as of April 2023. It was reconfirmed in January 2026.

@~2026-13236-8: Hi, DailyMail is not a valid source as per. Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources#Sources. I did find another source at CNN, and that has been added to the article and the date of the relationship has been updated. --SimmeD (talk) 17:37, 7 January 2026 (UTC)

Kindly get a stronger consensus for this because it makes no sense to have it as Jan 2026 simply because it was ‘reconfirmed’. The earliest date being there is the most reasonable as it gives readers a general overview of how long they have been together. Soe743edits (talk) 01:55, 8 January 2026 (UTC)

It's incorrect. He has 3 nominations but only 2 are consecutive (2024 & 2025). ~2026-49173-8 (talk) 01:39, 23 January 2026 (UTC)
