Information icon Welcome to Misplaced Pages and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Amish Mafia are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.

Information icon Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Misplaced Pages about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Lia Thomas. Please review MOS:DEADNAME. Thank you, Beccaynr (talk) 01:19, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

It is not poorly reference. It is in the birth record and countless news articles. Since she has transitioned, her former identity is absolutely relevant. Volleyballjerry (talk) 01:43, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
Per MOS:DEADNAME we only include the former name of a trans or non-binary person if they were notable prior to transition. Lia Thomas was not notable prior to transition. Sideswipe9th (talk) 01:44, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
Volleyballjerry, this is also discussed on the Talk page of the Lia Thomas article, e.g.
Consensus has not been established to include her deadname in the article, and you are welcome to continue discussing this on the Talk page, but please do not continue to add the disputed information without consensus. Thank you, Beccaynr (talk) 02:12, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Lia Thomas. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Sideswipe9th (talk) 01:42, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
