Kcrca (talk) 01:21, 16 July 2019 (UTC) I'm not trying to litigate here, just to understand properly. Am I really supposed to cite RS to fix a typo in a person's name? Because this is logically equivalent, afaict. If I am updating the name of a woman who changed her name at marriage, must I cite a RS on each page her old name appeared? That seems to make each page partly about her changing her name, even if it is not at all about that (e.g., she is a scientist and there are pages about her work).

There is a RS, it's clearly cited on Mary Ann's page. Adding a citation on the name shift to the article that is not at all about her name shift simply seems to emphasize her differences as a trans person in an article that does not need to discuss it.

So I am confused by your approach, and I'm not really seeing it in the RS article per se. It is not contentious, it has a RS, and if someone's name needs to be called out by specific RS cite in each article that uses it, I see no evidence of that. Please help me understand. Thanks!

Kcrca (talk) 03:16, 16 July 2019 (UTC) And how does this work with this specific Wikipedia policy on gender and names? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Gender_identity. AFAICT I am directly following that specific guidance.
