Did Bill Oberst Jr. Ever Appear on Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides?
[edit]While reading this article I discovered this film that I well know of: Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. While looking at the end credits however, I didn't see his name. I don't know if someone made a mistake on Wikipedia or not. Could you help me? 94-kun (talk) 20:31, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
- I can't find any good evidence to support this. It's possible that he may have appeared uncredited, but unless we have something to help support this (like the actor talking about it, a tweet from the set, or so on) it should be removed.

Edit Request: Addition of Personal Life section
[edit] | The user below has a request that an edit be made to Bill Oberst Jr.. That user has an actual or apparent conflict of interest. The requested edits backlog is very high. Please be extremely patient. There are currently 875 requests waiting for review. Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies. Remember to set the |answered= parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. |
Hello, I am Bill Oberst Jr., the subject of this article. In strict accordance with Wikipedia's Conflict of Interest guidelines, I am proposing an edit here on the Talk page rather than editing the article myself.
I am requesting the addition of a brief "Personal life" section to reflect my public identification as a gay Christian. This is a matter of public record and is documented in secondary press, podcast interviews, and my own official channels.
Proposed Addition: Please create a new section titled == Personal life == just above the References section, and add the following sentence:
"Oberst is a gay Christian who has spoken openly about his faith and sexual orientation."
Sources for Verification:
Secondary Source 1 (Podcast): The Staffa Corner, "Bill Oberst Jr On Horror, Healing, & The Humanity Behind The Monsters" (Published August 21, 2026). I discuss this openly starting at the 1:02 mark. A full transcript is also available on the page. URL: https://www.thestaffacorner.com/1395679/episodes/19679627-bill-oberst-jr-on-horror-healing-the-humanity-behind-the-monsters-celebrity-interview
Secondary Source 2 (News): The Revealer, "Reaching the Heartland: Gay Republicans’ Message to Religious Americans" (Published April 4, 2024). This references my identity in the third paragraph from the bottom. URL: https://therevealer.org/reaching-the-heartland-gay-republicans-message-to-religious-americans/
Primary Source (Official Website): My personal essay detailing my faith and orientation on billoberst.com (third paragraph from the bottom). URL: https://billoberst.com/the-walk/
Thank you to the volunteer editors for reviewing and implementing this request. Bill Oberst, Jr. (talk) 11:31, 1 September 2026 (UTC)
- Given the sourcing, I have taken a pass at this -- Bill_Oberst_Jr.#Personal_life. Rather than the vaguary of "has spoken openly about his faith and sexual orientation", I cited specific material; it can be expanded from there. Personal life is generally placed before filmographies/bibliographies/etc, rather than after, so I have placed it as such. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 16:45, 14 September 2026 (UTC)
