Key photograph of Great Gerwig[edit]

Is there a kind editor who could please switch out the incredibly unflattering due to pregnancy weight gain close up photo of this beautiful actress and instead put at top the 2018 Berlin International Film Festival photograph that is currently at the bottom of the article? A suggested fix: the location of the two photographs could simply be switched. Please! MusaVeneziana^(talk) 11:16, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Actress, writer, and director[edit]

@45.165.160.181, please find support to change the order. The current order follows the example of other actors/writers/filmmakers. Thanks! Nemov (talk) 16:07, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Given that she is focusing on directing now, it should come first, especially because when you Google Gerwig, it grabs the 'American actress' as the tagline, when it should say 'American director' Leorabk (talk) 11:54, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

She was notable first for being an actor for many years and is still an active actor. The current list is perfectly acceptable. Nemov (talk) 16:19, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

She has received for more awards and recognition as a filmmaker than an actress and her latest film has shattered so many box office records for a female director. I agree that she's more notable as a filmmaker than an actress. JDDJS (talk to me • see what I've done) 15:55, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a MOS on something like this? I think it reads better as "actress and filmmaker" or "actress, writer, and director." She was a notable actress for a long time before the recent success as a director. I hate to WP:OTHERSTUFF but Eastwood has pretty much been a famous film director now for 30 years. Nemov (talk) 16:06, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Eastwood has remained extremely active as an actor during that time so it's not at all a similar comparison. JDDJS (talk to me • see what I've done) 16:05, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Greta just starred in White Noise last November. She's been as active as an actor as Eastwood the past 5 years and way more the past 10 years. Nemov (talk) 17:18, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

White Noise is an indie film directed by her life partner released straight to Netflix, getting no major awards. Barbie is continuing to smash box office records for a film directed by a woman. Ladybird is one of the extremely few films directed by a woman to get nominated for a Best Directing Oscar. To pretend that her acting career is anywhere near as notable or gets as much media attention as her career as a filmmaker is simply untrue. JDDJS (talk to me • see what I've done) 18:12, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't said she was more notable for acting? The order is pretty much a matter of preference unless there's a MOS. I'm just following other examples and I think it reads easier.Nemov (talk) 18:43, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW I've posed this question at Actors and Filmmakers to see if there's any MOS with the order of occupation. Nemov (talk) 02:48, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There doesn't appear to be a MOS for this, but one comment was that it should generally be in the order of occupation. That seems reasonable to me and fits the status quo. Nemov (talk) 13:16, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox image[edit]

I restored the 2018 image. The new image is more recent, but she just had a baby a few weeks ago so the 2018 is closer to her normal appearance. We should wait for a image in a few weeks before making this change. Thanks! Nemov (talk) 14:01, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean by "normal appearance"? We aren't here to judge what body type she should be in the future. The 2023 image is a high-quality recent image and in my opinion, she looks great in it! Krimuk2.0 (talk) 10:46, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's just not a good picture. I get they are promoting Barbie so it's bright colors, but the status quo image is just better and doesn't have a distracting background. I agree she looks great. Nemov (talk) 13:07, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The same image exists in the article body. Please be more careful before reverting. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 14:40, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, another image had been replaced. I restored it. Thanks! Nemov (talk) 14:59, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
