editHello, I'm Adakiko. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Thirza Cuthand, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Adakiko (talk) 03:02, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
- appreciate your comment - wikipedia policy is inherently transphobic. Not allowing pronoun changes for living trans people who haven't yet had an opportunity to have an interview or article written about them by a third party is shameful. 67.71.247.212 (talk) 03:32, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
- No. The problem is you did not wp:cite a wp:reliable source (RS) as to which pronouns Cuthand uses. Wikipedia has quite a bit of policy on the matter: Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Biography#Gender identity. An essay: Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Gender identity. Potentially contentious content added to wp:biographies of living persons requires a reliable source. See help:referencing for beginners. You might consider adding a section to talk:Thirza Cuthand listing and discussing the sources. People do change their pronouns, sometimes often. So, use the latest, please.
- BTW: trans-phobics often go through trans articles changing pronouns to gender assignments. Pronoun changes are therefore viewed with suspicion. I think if you look through biographies of trans people, you will likely find most use the subject's preferred pronoun. Cheers Adakiko (talk)

editHello, I'm Taking Out The Trash. I noticed that you recently removed content from Ottawa Titans without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.
