Bad grammar in main description

Making his return in the film blady blah, blah. Should be filmS with an 'S' and then an 'and' between the films. u get me?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.68.239.54 (talk • contribs) 09:37, December 31, 2017 (UTC)

Use of full name

Hey guys, I personally feel like we should be using Culkin’s full name in the introduction to his article. Considering how that’s pretty standard for other biographical articles I don’t understand why we don’t do it here. (eye)rizz (talk) 16:17, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

His full name has been included for years without conflict before becoming truncated today. I was surprised to enter the talk page and not see discussion around that decision. Considering the long precedent and the general acceptance around including his full name, I think the onus falls on @Soetermans and @Daniel Dungca to weigh in as they are the ones choosing to shorten it without explanation.

I just reverted back to his full name just now with this explanation, without realizing a concern had been raised by the other person who had done a revert. (I think it's potentially likely that Soetermans' revert (a rollback) was done because without the context that it's his real name, it looks like vandalism. Using rollback in any other situation here would be a misuse of rollback.) - Purplewowies (talk) 20:36, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That is exactly what happened! What a silly celebrity thing to do. Sorry (eye)rizz for the error. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 21:44, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Marriage question.

Greetings:
In the Info Box, Culkin and Brenda Song are listed as partners, as opposed to spouses, but in the narrative, they are given as married. The recent Elle magazine article cited speaks of an engagement, but only vaguely hints at a marriage (citation #47). Is there a more definitive source that makes it clear whether or not they are married? Their personal life is their own, but we should get this article's discrepancy resolved.
