 | The contentious topics procedure applies to this page. This page is related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, which has been designated as a contentious topic. Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be blocked or restricted by an administrator. Editors are advised to familiarise themselves with the contentious topics procedures before editing this page. |
| This article should adhere to the gender identity guideline because it contains material about one or more trans men. Precedence should be given to self-designation as reported in the most up-to-date reliable sources, anywhere in article space, even when it doesn't match what's most common in reliable sources. 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. Some people go by singular they pronouns, which are acceptable for use in articles. This applies in references to any phase of that person's life, unless the subject has indicated a preference otherwise. Former, pre-transition names may only be included if the person was notable while using the name; outside of the main biographical article, such names should only appear once, in a footnote or parentheses.If material violating this guideline is repeatedly inserted, or if there are other related issues, please report the issue to the LGBTQ+ WikiProject, or, in the case of living people, to the BLP noticeboard. |

Alexander James Adams update
Article has been rewritten to reflect transition. Rename assistance has been requested at Wikipedia:Requested_moves, hopefully it will be done soon. (Rename should include: this article becomes Alexander James Adams; Heather Alexander becomes a redirect to this article.) JenKilmer (talk) 02:06, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
Merge career and discography sections
The career and discographies sections should be merged better with care to de-emphasize the subject's transition as we have evidence of that desire. Specifically section titles could be changed to date range rather than re-iterating names used. Benjiboi 01:19, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- OK, I was bold and did most of what I thought made sense. The references need to be better formatted per WP:CITE as well. Benjiboi 02:05, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Archiving discussion about Alec's transition
Jen, I don't mean to step on your toes, but gender transition of a public figure is a very rare occurence, and I think it would be a good idea to keep a record of the process for other Wikipedia editors. I have undone your delete and moved all of the relevant material to the archive page linked above. I hope you won't mind. TechBear (talk) 14:41, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
- Oops. My main concern was that it appeared that the debate was ongoing and it isn't. If it's a faux pas to remove it we can put it back here and just add a note that it's been finished? JenKilmer (talk) 04:50, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
- Your instict was good, as the discussion was no longer immediately relevant to the article; that is why the Wikipedia allows for archiving pieces out of a talk page. By doing it this way, we can come back latter and see the discussion, and editors for other articles can see how we put together the new article out of the old one.
