The current entry not only relies heavily on one source, it is word-for-word taken from the New Yorker profile in places.173.8.31.161 (talk)00:08, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This article cites the New Yorker profile over 20 times, and seems to over-rely on that piece. Parts of the article simply re-state the profile, rather than provide basic biography. For example, there's a very lengthy section on "Acting philosophy and technique" which seemsoverly focused on this, while few other actors have such a section in their article. Really need to find more diverse and balanced sources for this biography. --ZimZalaBim^talk00:56, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not about to do it myself, but if anyone wants to tackle overhauling the section, here's two other articles that might be useful:

• Jeremy Strong and Hollywood's most extreme actors
• Jeremy Strong Will Never Break

While we’re at it, has he really been recognized for hisinvolvement in films inspired by real-life events?— HTGS (talk)05:28, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

On a recent article on Wikiportraits (https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/volunteer-photographers-are-fixing-wikipedias-terrible-celebrity-headshots-194454358.html) I put forth the view that certain photos are not desirable for wikipedia (such as the current image of Jeremy Strong) because they do not convey the wikipedia style as I interpret it. The current photo in particular looks like a studio shot that is designed to convey a certain persona that is usurping the wikipedia impartial view of the world and should be replaced. It suggests we have been taken over and corporatised. Here is what I wrote:

As a wikipedia editor i think it's important to remember that in some way wikipedia represents the viewpoint of the common man. It is not a direct participant at events but a mere spectator. As such the photos of celebrities looking directly into the camera feels inconsistent with this viewpoint. FWIW I would prefer to use photos for wikipedia that are more in the moment and not so staged. So sometimes a less perfect photo may be better if it is more real. It is also important not to flood Wikipedia with a particular style. Inconsistency is our style! The photo of Ben Stiller being interviewed is an example of a great photo for Wikipedia. It is not just about him but shows him (to a small extent) in his element of being a celebrity.NeedsGlasses (talk)02:29, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In this case the subject chose to look directly into the camera, that's fine (and entirely expected given circumstances). Other pictures will be taken at convention panels where the subject knows he or she is at a public event but isn't immediately aware of the picture being taken. I think the photo is fine and that our style is in no way threatened. But thank you for that article link; I've added it to the{{Press}} template.CapnZapp (talk)13:45, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@NeedsGlasses when you mention "Oh a recent article on Wikiportraits I put forth the view" you have a link, however the article linked does not mention any of the quoted text you included in your comment.

Where can I find your quoted text?JulioCesarSalad (talk)14:34, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My quote was just in the attached comments not in the article itself and I suspect the comments may have been on the wikiportraits.org web site but i can't seem to find them any more.NeedsGlasses (talk)01:22, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
