Pronouns

Anyone have a source for Stenberg's pronouns? EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 02:22, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Amandla's Pronouns

As stated here: http://amandla.tumblr.com/post/143143078983/hey-all-yall-changing-my-pronouns-on-my-wiki please don't change the pronouns on this page unless they specify otherwise. Wocea (talk) 02:35, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. She/her for now. Thanks for the link. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 02:41, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Wocea: Any idea if Stenberg wants the non-binary identity kept off wikipedia? It's covered by enough sources to include, but could reasonably be excluded given that it's not super widely sourced. Given that they had a preference for pronouns, thought I'd ask. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 02:56, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@EvergreenFir: Honestly, I have no idea, I'd imagine if they didn't say anything about it previously then it's fine, I don't see anything about it on their blog. Wocea (talk) 03:13, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Wocea: Okay thanks! EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 03:20, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@EvergreenFir: Yeah it's fine the way it is: http://amandla.tumblr.com/post/143154836283/hey-hey-are-you-cool-with-your-wiki-citing-that Wocea (talk) 16:22, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Wocea: Awesome. Thanks! EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 18:03, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sternberg has recently said they prefer they/them pronouns. I edited the article to reflect this. http://www.seventeen.com/celebrity/news/a39858/amandla-stenberg-reveals-the-pronouns-shed-rather-be-called-than-she/≤≥×÷

Changes to Personal Life section

I agree with Drmies about the Kylie Jenner feud being removed. Lacks lasting notability (WP:NOTNEWS). I'd like to see the charity work stuff added back, but feel it needs better sources lest it be too promotional. I tried to get better sources in addition to self-published ones regarding her identity. Will keep looking to add to it. Did find something about a comic she was making. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 02:54, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sure--decent sourcing, but also some proof that it's relevant. Not every act of charity is worthwhile mentioning; imagine how long my article would be! Drmies (talk) 02:59, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ever so long. We'd have to split it up by month to conform to page length guidelines! EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 03:05, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You'll go far. Butter up the arbs, just in case you get in trouble. :) Drmies (talk) 03:09, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You figured me out! D: EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 03:20, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
