~~== Citizenship ==~~

If she is a German citizen and had a German mother and grew up in Germany, why isn’t she described as ”German-American” and instead as just ”American”? [[Special:Contributions/2001:14BB:C9:D246:28B3:81EE:E1FD:67A7|2001:14BB:C9:D246:28B3:81EE:E1FD:67A7]] ([[User talk:2001:14BB:C9:D246:28B3:81EE:E1FD:67A7|talk]]) 15:39, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

:Per [https://www.marieclaire.co.uk/news/celebrity-news/10-celebrities-speaking-other-languages-20322 this], she had dual citizenship until she was 18, implying that she gave up her German citizenship at that point and is not now a citizen of Germany. But then, per [https://www.thelocal.de/20090629/20277/ this], used as a reference in the article, she ''applied for'' German citizenship in 2009. So I don't know what the deal is.

"Bullock was born in the Washington, D.C. suburb of Arlington County, Virginia" is incorrect, Arlington County isn't a suburb of Washington, D.C. and is solely Virginia. It should say "Bullock was born in Arlington County, Virginia across from Washington, D.C." since they want to mention D.C. or it can be "Bullock was born in Arlington County, Virginia.<ref>https://www.arlingtonchamber.org/about-arlington.html#:~:text=Arlington%20County%20is%20an%20urban,cities%20lie%20within%20Arlington's%20boundaries.</ref> <ref>https://www.arlingtonva.us/Government/Topics/Welcome-Kit/History-of-Arlington#:~:text=From%201801%20to%201847%2C%20what,to%20the%20Commonwealth%20of%20Virginia.</ref> [[Special:Contributions/173.53.10.120|173.53.10.120]] ([[User talk:173.53.10.120|talk]]) 22:12, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

:{{done}} I don't know why D.C. was mentioned. I also added an archive-url for that ref, it was dead. [[User:Schazjmd|<span style="color:#066293;">'''Schazjmd'''</span>]] [[User talk:Schazjmd|<span style="color:#738276;">''(talk)''</span>]] 22:21, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

:In my opinion there's no reason to qualify Arlington's geographic relation to D.C. at all in that text, but it sure is a suburb of it. Where did you get the idea that a suburb has to be in the same state? At least four Virginia counties, several Virginia cities, and four Maryland counties can be considered suburbs of Washington, just as northeastern New Jersey and southwestern Connecticut are suburbs of New York City.

== BFA not MFA ==

She graduated with a BFA not an MFA so the infobox should be corrected... [[Special:Contributions/74.12.2.239|74.12.2.239]] ([[User talk:74.12.2.239|talk]]) 23:23, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

:It seems you're correct, as the article's body says it was a BFA, and at least one source besides the cited one with a paywall agrees: [https://www.starnewsonline.com/story/special/special-sections/2019/06/12/sandra-bullock-to-produce-tv-show-about-her-days-at-ecu/4926434007/].
