The only connection I can think of was my suggestion that a template be revised to say the person was living OR recently deceased.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 15:12, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Vchimpanzee,

I left the alert after your recent edit at the Laverne Cox article and could not find any evidence that anyone had yet alerted you to the fact that BLPs are a current area of conflict. (And because I do not want to be responsible for unintended innuendo, the article falls into the area of conflict because Laverne Cox is alive.) If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask!

Okay, I thought this was about Robert Mandan and my problem with the template. My edit to Laverne Cox was because I wondered what her name was as a man. I felt that this was important enough to be in the article.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 18:58, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I was not going to mention my thoughts on your specific revision because regardless of how you had edited the article, it would have been a good time to post the discretionary sanctions alert. (After all the alert is a notice and not a warning. Hopefully the new version of the template, which was revised after I posted to your talk page, makes that clearer.)

But since you brought it up, I thought it was poor form to unilaterally decide to make a change when discussion about just such a change has been taking place on the talk page off and on for more than four years, and no consensus has been reached to change the article, and the article has been subjected to notorious disruptive editing. I believe the least you could do for your fellow editors is to go to the talk page and, if you have not done so already, read all the info boxes at the top of the page, familiarize yourself with the discussion about edits like yours, and explain why you made your edit. -- Marie Paradox (talk | contribs) 02:28, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Vchimpanzee I am going to delete this thread in 21 days. In the meantime if you could strike through the heading of this section, I would appreciate it. -- Marie Paradox (talk | contribs) 05:31, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I thought if anyone objected they would revert. I didn't put it in the lead because I figured it might be controversial or the information would have been there. But there seemed to be no reason not to put the information in the section on early life, once I found a source that appeared reliable. At first I didn't see a RELIABLE source.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 15:23, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you did revert, but I don't agree with your logic. The issue on the talk page seems to be whether we can verify the name. There is a chance the source just got it from somewhere. But I don't see where the guideline linked to justifies the edit. If the person was not notable under the former name, i can see leaving it out of the lead. I don't see where leaving the former name out entirely is justified.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 15:42, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If your argument is that the policy does not seem to apply to all trans people, I agree. But in this case it applies because Laverne Cox was, as you put it, "not notable under" her former name. -- Marie Paradox (talk | contribs) 15:46, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not clear on whether "'not notable under' her former name" means we can ever use it if the source is reliable. That just doesn't make sense..— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 15:51, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

We should probably be doing this on Talk:Laverne Cox anyway. Would it be okay to move the entire discussion there?— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 15:53, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you would prefer to continue this conversation on the talk page, that is more than okay with me. -- Marie Paradox (talk | contribs) 16:12, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I meant everything already said here should be there as well, starting where I first mentioned Laverne Cox.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 16:31, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have no objections to that. -- Marie Paradox (talk | contribs) 16:38, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The feedback request service is asking for participation in this request for comment on Talk:Steve Down. Legobot (talk) 04:23, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have recently shown interest in (a) GamerGate, (b) any gender-related dispute or controversy, (c) people associated with (a) or (b), all broadly construed. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect: any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or any page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
