PLEASE CHANGE: Orville Peck is a Canadian country musician. Peck, who released his debut album Pony in 2019, has been widely remarked upon for his tendency to wear a fringed “Lone Ranger” mask.[2]

to

Orville Peck is a country musician and songwriter. Peck has incorrectly been sited as being Canadian but has confirmed that to be untrue in several interviews, having alluded to being born and growing up somewhere in the Southern Hemisphere. Peck, who released his self-produced debut album Pony in 2019, has been widely remarked upon for baritone voice and his tendency to wear a fringed “Lone Ranger” mask.

 * Have amended. Not sure he has been "widely remarked for his baritone voice" can be deduced from that source. I don't think it's necessary to say "incorrectly" here, enough to say that he is based in Canada (which he is). – Thjarkur (talk) 17:51, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

Semi-Protected Edit Request
According to this New York Times interview, Peck gave his age as 31 (as of Oct. 16, 2019). Can this possible age be added somewhere?

Also, this article says that his publicist confirmed Peck's identity as Daniel Pitout, so even though Peck hasn't confirmed it himself, maybe the wording of this article should change to reflect that it has been confirmed by his team?
 * Yellow check.svg Partly done:, I added his age to the infobox based on the article. However in the article the author's phrasing of the publicists response is kind of ambiguous and I don't feel comfortable adding Peck's supposed real name without more concrete confirmation. If you find another neutral, reliable source which states in plain terms what Peck's real name is, feel free to submit another edit request! (Of course, Wikipedia is built on consensus. So if you believe that article is enough evidence for the name to be added, please explain further. Don't let me shut you down.) TJScalzo (talk) 12:48, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
 * To be fair, it would probably also be relevant to mention here (but not in the article) that CBC Music playlogs have been listing Orville Peck songs with the songwriting credit "D. Pitout" for quite a while now. But that's not great proof in and of itself, since it still has the plausible deniability that Daniel Pitout just wrote the songs while Orville Peck was still a different person who sang them. Which, of course, isn't to say that's the truth, just that somebody could claim that it was. Bearcat (talk) 22:24, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Add recent singles and music videos "Summertime" (directed by Drew Kirsch & Taylor Fauntleroy) and "No Glory in the West" (directed by Isaiah Seret).

Add info on the upcoming EP "Show Pony":
 * Slated release date: 12 June 2020;
 * Collaboration with Shania Twain. EliasEH (talk) 18:14, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes check.svg Done - Made the requested edits that were supported by the given sources. I don't see Taylor Fauntleroy credited for directing the "Summertime" music video in the article you referenced. If you find a source for that, feel free to drop in another edit request! TJScalzo (talk) 12:00, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I just checked and saw that Taylor Fauntleroy is credited as a director in the description of the video. I've added them to the article. My apologies for not realizing this before. TJScalzo (talk) 21:37, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello, Could you please remove the "Rockabilly" genre from Orville'S Wikipedia page? Either delete it completely or replace with "Alternative."

As of right now, Orville has two major releases, Show Pony (https://music.apple.com/us/album/show-pony-ep/1514674249 ) and Pony (https://music.apple.com/us/album/pony/1446363542). Neither of these releases are listed as "Rockabiliy." These releases are "Country" and "Alternative," respectively. Afs1203 (talk) 17:43, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Yes check.svg Done The original editor who added "Rockabilly" gave no reliable sources for its addition. It seems they posted their opinion of Peck's genre at the top of this talk page and after receiving no response added it to the infobox. Considering there are several sources already used in the article that describe his genre as "Alternative" or "Rock" (1 & 2) and the fact that Pony was nominated for the Juno Award for "Alternative Album of the Year", I would say there's enough WP:RS to make this change.

Please add recent single and music video "Legends Never Die" featuring Shania Twain. The video was directed by Cameron Duddy. EliasEH (talk) 14:13, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Protection has been removed since you made this request, you should be able to edit this article now. – Thjarkur (talk) 15:07, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't think it would be considered a single since the music video was released along with the full EP. So since "Legends Never Die" was never available to hear outside of the released album, it wouldn't be considered a single like the other songs that were released as previews. At least that's my understanding of the way these songs and music videos are classified in this article. TJScalzo (talk) 15:56, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes check.svg Done Thank you both. I've added it as just a music video. EliasEH (talk) 18:33, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

The accuracy of not having shown his face publicly
Is it accurate to say that Peck hasn't shown his face publicly, when pictures of him without his mask are available online from before he assumed the pseudonym? I found this article from 2016 online which has pictures of him. DidYouExpectThat (talk) 07:47, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
