So in your view, you're qualified to tell us Hedy's preferred demonym, but Wikipedia is not?

Where did I do that? I asked how is she -American in my OP.

> I feel like the hyphen changes her identity which she might not have agreed with.

Emphasis mine.

Sure sounds like you're speaking on behalf of Hedy.

This is a forum and I’ve brought this up as a topic for conversation, I’m expressing my opinion. It’s a normal use of a forum.

And also, it sounds nothing like I’m doing that. “I feel” and “might not” are definitely signs that I’m not claiming anything just discussing the topic.
