Sooner or later he will need one, I don't spend enough time on Wikipedia to do it though. Danny Boy 420 (talk) 03:01, 3 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

We have to wait for a free-use image to uploaded, until then there is no image that can be added. ♥NiciVampireHeart10:17, 10 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
Hi I have spoke with Gabbi extensively on twitter, you can look at her twitter and see the conversation about removing the pretransition photos as her main photos on this wikipedia page. Unfortunately since my account is new I am unable to replace them myself only remove them. However someone keeps changing this back. Gabbi has explicitly said she does not want those photos as the first photo on the page. EHydzik (talk) 12:54, 16 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

I had uploaded multiple images weeks ago and edits were made by other users. Having a pre-transition photo be the first thing a user sees is painful for me. Editors that continually revert changes to my profile pic that were made by other editors at my request are really doing a disservice to the entire trans community. Gabbituft (talk) 05:54, 16 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Gabbituft: Hi Gabbi, I trust this is actually you as you mentioned on twitter wanting to change the picture. The reason the original image was deleted was because of an issue with permissions - for an image to be included on Wikipedia it needs to pass the Image Use Guidelines, which can be found here: WP:IUP. As you can see on this talk page, many of us have expressed a desire to see your image updated, but inevitably we're all subject to copyright. If an image is provided which passes the IUG, we can update that for you. However please note that this doesn't mean pre-transition images are removed entirely; after all we're an encyclopedia which covers your career as a whole. — Czello 08:22, 16 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
While Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Gender identity, states that "Avoid using an out-of-date, pre-coming-out photo of a transgender subject as a lead image. If no other photos are available, it is generally better to have no lead image at all. In general, avoid using pre-coming-out photos unless the subject's pre-transition appearance is especially well-known and notable. The article about The Wachowskis, for example, is better without any pre-coming-out photos since the way they looked is not well known as they shied away from public appearances. Conversely, the Caitlyn Jenner article does contain photos from before her transition because she was a well known Olympic athlete, so her appearance at the time is relevant to the article, though none are in the lead section." However, since Tuft is requesting not using the pictures, maybe is better to ask the WP:LGBT. For a current picutre, maybe she can upload one. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 17:27, 16 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Finishing Move Name

edit

His current finisher is not called the "Burning Hammer" because that is an inverted Death Valley Driver. I know they've referred to it as a "Burning Hammer-type maneuver" which is likely where the confusion is from. As far as I know, his new finisher is unnamed. dj_ansi (talk) 17:25, 13 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

On WWE Superstars last night, Matt Striker referred to the move once again as the "Burning Hammer." I suppose that is what they are calling it now. dj_ansi (talk) 01:19, 4 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

In other media

edit

I noticed that Curt Hawkins#In other media mentions that Hawkins is playable in Smackdown v Raw 2009. It makes me wonder, were he and Reks playable in any of the later games? I'll check to see if the current ones have roster lists on their pages. Ranze (talk) 16:02, 31 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Cena dispute

edit

Just read this 25 November 2014 interview, supposedly Cena told him "find another finisher or you're fired" because he thought the Burning Hammer looked too much like the attitude adjustment, even though the Hammer sets up with guy on side and has the guy land on his front while the Adjustment sets up with guy on front and lands on his back. Wondering if this should be included in some fashion that he spoke out against Cena.

Removal of Image?

edit

Where does the essay located at WP:GenderID say that images must be scrubbed? Which is an essay, not policy. She is notable for being a wrestler. Nothing else. Any DUE image would be related to her wrestling. A time in her life where she would have a masculine look. This seems like a bit of a stretch and should be reverted but if there is a policy or some public disavowal of her wrestling days I am missing, please let me know. Slywriter (talk) 04:09, 5 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

There isn't really a policy on this, but there is a discussion at Talk:MOSBIO. Newimpartial (talk) 17:55, 5 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
That discussion doesn't conclude that we shouldn't have images of them pre-transition (unless she wasn't notable pre-transition, but she was). — Czello 18:20, 5 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
No, it doesn't, but the issue doesn't necessarily depend on whether or not the person was notable; it may be a bit stricter. Draft policy text offers the following criterion, which seems to underly what various editors have said: old images that conflict with the current gender should not be used unless the subject's pre-transition appearance is especially well-known and notable (emphasis added). A professional wrestler probably satisfies that criterion, but it is a bit tighter than simply being notable. Newimpartial (talk) 18:49, 5 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
So I'd say that her pre-transition appearance certainly was notable (after all, we have 3 pre-transition images of her on the page). That said, I do think we should find a post-transition replacement ASAP. I have seen one online, but I'm unsure of rights usage etc. — Czello 18:53, 5 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
From her instagram, though I'd advise cropping the right half. But again, I don't know what the rights issue is here. Hopefully someone who knows image policy better than me can advise. — Czello 18:57, 5 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Still seems to be a question of DUE. She has done nothing of recent note beyond publicizing her gender identity and it's crystal ball to assume that she will do anything of note to justify inclusion of an updated picture. She also has not declared any personal issue with being recognized as a masculine professional wrestler, so it seems to be removal of historical images without any justification or cause especially given the draft policy covers well-known pre-transition images (which again is all she is known for at this time). Slywriter (talk) 21:07, 5 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
I don't want any historical images to disappear at all, but I don't see why we can't include a more present image if we can find one. — Czello 21:21, 5 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Misunderstood use of 'replacement' and had not seen your article edit. A conversation about changing the info box image or removing it completely might be in order especially as i believe the info box image is the one grabbed by search engines for their own info boxes. Not strictly our problem but search engines showing a dated image seems more problematic than the action shots within the article Slywriter (talk) 22:07, 5 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Brian Pillman Jr. recently got on Twitter and asked us to change his picture here and authorized the use of one of his selfies. Obviously, it's preferable to use a recent picture for the infobox on this article too. Our best bet would be to reach out to Tuft and see if she could provide one with proper license. I don't have Twitter otherwise I'd do it myself. Or, if anybody could contact Wrestling, Inc. or host Nick Hausman, we could see if they could change this YouTube interview with her to have creative commons licensing and we could use a screencap of it.LM2000 (talk) 04:03, 6 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
I'll message her on Instagram and see if I get a reply. I'm not sure the best way to document this other than screenshots of the convo, which obviously could be faked, but I guess it's the best place to start. — Czello 08:32, 6 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
I just sent her a DM on TikTok and am waiting for a response. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 02:12, 24 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

MOS:DEADNAME

edit

Just so it is recorded here, I will point out that last year's RfC at MOS:DEADNAME enshrined the principle that deadnames under which a person was never notable should not be included in articles; this has been understood as a reason to exclude from WP articles birth names in instances where a person had formerly been notable under their stage name but not under their birth name, q.v. Elliot Page. Newimpartial (talk) 18:00, 5 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Makes sense, the re-direct and reference to her ring name are sufficient for a reader to locate the article or find further information about her. Slywriter (talk) 21:09, 5 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
If it is a matter of notability, I understand, and accept the ruling at RfC. But I was legitimately curious whether I had heard of Gabbi under a different name not presented in the article, and had to dig through version history to find the information. That is bordering on suppression of fact, and it's not an issue with the Caitlyn Jenner page, which by this definition, could be deadnaming. Just because Gabbi's old stage name was Gabe doesn't mean that his legal name might not have been USED TO HAVE BEEN Gary. Has nothing to do with deadnaming, which I agree, has no place here and should be ruled against. Yookaloco (talk) 12:37, 6 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
The community consensus at the moment is that including non-notable prior names of trans people, whether or not they are birth names, is not acceptable on WP but including the names by which people were clearly notable is accepted, so long as it is helpful for the reader and is not done more than minimally necessary. Newimpartial (talk) 16:03, 6 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Pronouns

edit

I believe we should keep the pronouns as he because he was wrestling as a male until he recently came out as Trans, I have nothing against Transgender I just don’t see the point changing it when we identified as male then (TheKinkdomMan talk 21:32, 5 February 2021 (UTC))Reply

He* (TheKinkdomMan talk 21:35, 5 February 2021 (UTC))Reply

no. WP:Genderid is pretty clear. Any person whose gender might be questioned should be referred to by the pronouns, possessive adjectives, and gendered nouns (for example "man/woman", "waiter/waitress", "chairman/chairwoman") that reflect that person's latest expressed gender self-identification. This applies in references to any phase of that person's life, unless the subject has indicated a preference otherwise. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 21:47, 5 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

MOS:GENDERID Newimpartial (talk) 22:09, 5 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Think of it this way, for the purpose of Wikipedia and using the voice of wikipedia, she was always a woman, even if her notable identity was masculine. Slywriter (talk) 22:30, 5 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

I hope no one is driving a car to this logic where you are told a brick wall is a pile of sand.. you know it would really be funny if this was all a staged wrestling story script.. but it is obviously not because the transformation is well along. Nobody is saying that she is not a woman but it is very dangerous to tell people who were looking at a man that it was a woman it has to be explained very carefully the feelings and rights of Gabbi Tufts are very important but so too are the sanity tights of those trying to make sense of physical reality..Strattonsmith (talk) 23:48, 6 February 2021 (UTC)|Reply

Recognizing that a person we are taking to in the present is the same person we are looking at pictures or videos of from the past, and that that person is a woman, should not be any harder to do than any other form of basic respect and empathy. And from my own personal experience, showing basic respect and empathy doesn't make it any more difficult to drive a car, or whatever the tortured metaphor was. Newimpartial (talk) 01:03, 7 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Strattonsmith:, this talk page is not the venue to debate the logic. The community has weighed in on the issue and the policy is clear, when speaking in the voice of wikipedia, pronouns are to be used consistent with how the subject identifies, irrespective of the timeframe being discussed. Do you have to personally agree with this policy? No, but you do have to edit in compliance with it (or at least, not maliciously defy the policy nor revert/edit-war against it when other editors correct the prose to match policy). Slywriter (talk) 01:31, 7 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Yes I agree the policy is in place and will honor it. This is a talk page don't become what you so ardently oppose. Case closed.Strattonsmith (talk) 14:16, 7 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

But surely "Gabbi Tuft" is a 'she', but "Tyler Reks" is a 'he', just like "Elliot Page" is a 'he (or they)' but "Juno MacGuff" is a 'she'? Tewdar (talk) 18:06, 26 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Newimpartial: - you wouldn't refer to the character "Juno MacGuff" in the film as 'he'? Would you? Tewdar (talk) 18:13, 26 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
As far as I know, the pronouns in this article should be referring to Gabbi Tuft rather than Tyler Reks. I believe Wikipedia regards wrestling persona as professional names (like the unpronounceable character Prince went by for a while) rather than fictional characters as in your example. Because kayfabe, presumably. Newimpartial (talk) 00:34, 27 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Newimpartial: - Wikipedia - the kayfabe encyclopedia that anyone can edit? "IT'S STILL REAL TO ME DAMMIT!!!" In that case, can someone please edit The Godfather (wrestler) and remove the ironic punctuation from the phrase "cast spells" in the Papa Shango section? This implies Charles Wright can't really cast spells, which clearly breaks kayfabe... Tewdar (talk) 04:11, 27 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
Agreed. If you can't make people vomit from across the room, you just aren't doing it right. Newimpartial (talk) 12:29, 27 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
I don't think the performer/wrestler dynamic is completely comparable to the actor/character dynamic. It makes sense to keep Elliot Page as "he" and Juno as "she", but I think where wrestlers are concerned there's too much overlap between what's real and what's fake -- so pronouns should be consistent. — Czello (Please tag me in replies) 12:40, 27 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Revise Categories

In light of Gabbi coming out as transgender, one of the page categories needs to be updated.

Pictures

edit

Since Tuft now identifies as a woman shouldn't the old pre-transition pictures be removed? Yodabyte (talk) 10:39, 18 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

No, it's fairly common practice to show pre-transition images if they were notable at that time. For e.g., see The Wachowskis, Chelsea Manning, or Caitlyn Jenner. That said, we are in dire need of an up-to-date image to sit in the infobox. I did message her on Instagram to request permission to use a recent image, but received no response. — Czello 10:57, 18 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Not done: If you can find a more recent image of her that meets our image use policy (most notably that it is freely licensed) you can upload it and we can add it to the article, but generally just pulling images off instagram would not be satisfactory for copyright reasons. ‑‑Volteer1 (talk) 01:09, 21 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Changing the Article Picture

edit

If there's not going to be a new picture of her used for article following her transition, would it at least be possible to remove the pre-transition picture? I would have to imagine it's deeply disrespectful to keep the current picture up. 2A02:C7C:3669:1B00:755E:7CFC:BB78:F987 (talk) 01:49, 12 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

This has been discussed above; it's normal practice to show pictures of pre-transition. — Czello 08:12, 12 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
For the record, it is not at all normal to use a pretransition picture in the lead section of a trans person's main BLP article. Newimpartial (talk) 17:55, 16 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Newimpartial, have your views evolved in last two years? Or policy? Not a knock, just trying to reconcile the more absolute position you are taking here vs then and whether there is a change in policy that would strengthen the "not at all normal" in a case where zero notability comes from post-transition. Page, which you mention below, is notable for pre and post activities, so not an apples to apples comparison. Slywriter (talk) 18:12, 16 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
I think you will find that I did not make any comment in 2021 about the lead image per se. Since then, I have seen multiple discussions of images on BLPs of trans people, and would now make a distinction between lead images and article body images. My reading of the community sentiment is that lead sections of articles on living trans people should essentially never include pre-transition images, regardless of the person's post-transition visibility, although pre-transition images may be included in the article body, when warranted. Newimpartial (talk) 18:19, 16 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Pretransition photo

edit

Gabbi has requested that her pre transition photo not be the first picture on this page. If you would like to put a picture up please use a current photo. You can check her twitter where she has been trying to get Wikipedia to fix this. 2600:1700:2B40:C410:AC83:6D73:3E34:9010 (talk) 03:58, 16 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

You can read above where several editors have reached out to her. There probably will be consensus to change the picture, if a freely licensed picture is available to replace with. However also note her entire notability is from her wrestling career, so it is not unreasonable to show an image from that time in her life in an encyclopedia.
Slywriter (talk) 04:27, 16 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
It is unreasonable when she herself has asked that the page about her not have a pre transition photo as the first thing someone sees on the page. I don't think she is asking for every picture to be removed she is asking the first picture be a current picture of her. EHydzik (talk) 12:57, 16 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
As many of us have said, we'd be delighted to replace this image with a more recent one if one becomes available (with the correct copyright). However, we don't remove images simply because the subject requests it. Please see WP:OWN - with respect to her, we're an encyclopedia, not her profile page. — Czello 13:05, 16 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
While there is no blanket exclusion of pretransition pictures, there is also no blanket policy requiring their inclusion. My sense is that this article would be better off with no pictures at all than it is with only pretransition images of its subject. And there is certainly no affirmative consensus at the moment for inclusion of the pretransition photo at the top of the article. Newimpartial (talk) 17:31, 16 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Why not just leave it blank? The pictures that attribute to specific moments in life and achievements leave those, but the profile picture, the first thing people see, should represent her and until there is a picture suitable to wikipedia guidelines that represents her as she is, leave the profile picture blank. EHydzik (talk) 17:41, 16 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
For the record, we did this (no infobox photo) at Elliot Page until an appropriate post-transition photo became available. Newimpartial (talk) 17:44, 16 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Also, another example is the ND Stevenson page, with a removal of the photo there after a discussion. I am glad that @TheTranarchist ⚧ Ⓐ mentioned the sentence from MOS:GIDINFO, as that would have been SO helpful had I known about it last year when there were various discussions about removing the outdated photo from Stevenson's profile, during which I incorrectly said that the outdated image should stay.

Should we use a pre-transition photo of Tuft in the infobox until we acquire a post-transition photo?

edit

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.


Given the scattered discussions above and recent edit warring on this subject, I've decided to formalise the discussion here.

As we have had difficulty acquiring a post-transition photo of Tuft, the question is should we continue to use the previous image (File:Tyler Reks 2012.jpg) until such time that we're able to replace it with a more recent picture, or should the infobox remain blank? Of course, it goes without saying that once a more recent picture becomes available it'll be replaced. — Czello 20:31, 16 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

  • Include Fundamentally I don't see a difference between the pre-transition images elsewhere in the article compared to one in the infobox. It's not practice on Wikipedia to remove pre-transition images of a subject (though, of course, more post-transition images are preferable), and to my knowledge there is no policy which states this should be the case, so I don't see why it should be the case with the infobox. — Czello 20:31, 16 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
  • Do not include - repeated discussions, at MOS:BIO and elsewhere, have recommended that pre-transition photos be excluded from infoboxes on the BLP pages of trans people. I don't see why this should be an exception. Newimpartial (talk) 20:35, 16 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
    Can you link to said discussions? — Czello 20:46, 16 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
  • Do not include Per MOS:GIDINFO: Avoid using an out-of-date, pre-coming-out photo of a transgender subject as a lead image. If no other photos are available, it is generally better to have no lead image at all. TheTranarchist ⚧ Ⓐ (talk) 20:49, 16 February 2023 (UTC)TheTranarchistReply
    This is a pretty conclusive best practice I had overlooked, thank you. I'll self-close the discussion. — Czello 20:53, 16 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

To be clear, GIDINFO only has the force of an essay, but I do think it represents the community view of best practices. The same conclusion was reached, for example, in this discussion and this one. Newimpartial (talk) 21:05, 16 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

While I noticed it was only an essay, it seems the best guideline to follow in lieu of a clear policy. — Czello 22:15, 16 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Agreed. Think we have consensus or at least close enough to remove and going to do so now. Slywriter (talk) 22:18, 16 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Page Update

edit

Hey ya'll!

Looking to update my page here and hoping one of you amazing editors could assist :)

If possible, how would we update the main photo again? CCO licensed photo: https://www.flickr.com/photos/193721339@N02/53406174506/in/dateposted-public/

Next, I was never trained by Mike Bell. I actually never met him. Wondering how this made it into my profile. TY!

Next, my current weight is hovering in the mid 180-lbs. What is the best way to get that updated? Google is showing I weight 240-something lbs (ouch) lol.

And finally, in the other media section, is there a way to update this? In 2023 alone I've been featured on several television shows and media outlets:

-The Tamron Hall Show: https://tamronhallshow.com/videos/wwes-first-transgender-star-gabbi-tuft-updates-us-on-her-3-year-transition/

Hello Gabbi,
I'll be happy to help with updating this page with everything that you mentioned here.
However, we will require a few things from you first.
1) Verification that you are indeed the real Gabbi Tuft, the subject of this article. For this, I would suggest posting some of your points that you mentioned here (not knowing Mike Bell, your current weight, etc) on your verified social media, and we can then use that as a citation link.
2) Upload your preferred image to wikimedia commons by clicking here. Then we can include it in the article.
And thanks for the links to all the media you have been covered in, that will be very helpful to use as citations! Kvwiki1234 (talk) 04:30, 25 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Genuine good faith question

edit

Genuine good faith question here. If Gabbi Tuft (as Tyler Reks) had won the WWE Championship, the same belt that Stone Cold and Rock held, would she now be recognized as the first woman to win the men's WWE Championship?

Asking since according to WP:GenderID this article treats her entire WWE career as if she was a female wrestler at the time (not debating whether she was or wasn't). Kvwiki1234 (talk) 04:19, 25 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Personally I think GenderID has been misapplied in this article in that it confuses the fictional character Tyler Reks (a man) with the person who played the role of Tyler Reks, Gabbi Tuft (a woman). A proper application of GenderID would refer to Gabbi Tuft with she/her pronouns throughout, and refer to Tyler Reks with he/him pronouns. Cjhard (talk) 07:06, 27 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
I don't think she should be referred to as Reks anywhere in the article. It's the equivalent of WP:DEADNAME. --My tightness (talk) 21:58, 5 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
Isn't Tyler Reks a fictional character/kayfabe name used for entertainment? Are we to believe that the Tyler Reks character from 2008 was supposed to be portraying a female wrestler? Kvwiki1234 (talk) 04:53, 6 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
