Publisher?

I've given the publisher as Oni Press based on this WaPo source. But this NYT source gives the publisher as Lion Forge. Can we clear up this discrepancy somehow? Seems like the situation is muddled by the fact that these two publishers merged around the time the book was published. Colin M (talk) 22:35, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Both Lion Forge and Oni Press are imprints of the Oni–Lion Forge Publishing Group (OLFPG) (the merged company). Per Popverse (a ReedPop outlet), the book was initially published under the Lion Forge imprint, however, OLFPG now mostly publishes under the Oni Press imprint & the Lion Forge imprint is dormant. [1] So the deluxe edition was published by the Oni Press imprint.[2] Sariel Xilo (talk) 18:21, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Book censorship in the United States category

@Graham87: can I ask why you removed Category:Book censorship in the United States from this article? Also pinging Bridges2Information who added the cat in the first place. Colin M (talk) 14:21, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind, just figured it out from this edit summary (might have been a good idea to copy-paste this into the edit summaries for the other edits which removed this cat for the same reason), and this user talk page message. I'm agnostic as to what the semantics of this category should be, but if there's consensus for Graham's interpretation, I would suggest updating the category page with this information for the benefit of other editors who might misinterpret its intended function.

List of school districts censoring Gender Queer

I've removed the short list of schools and public libraries that have banned Gender Queer - because according to PEN America there are now 41 districts. Should a Wikipedia list be created? And a link to the list? Bridges2Information (talk) 19:34, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Bridges2Information - Unless there is significant press coverage about every one of the schools or districts or libraries making it notable enough for a Wikipedia article, I would perhaps just add it to the book banning section of this article - not the full list just the most notable cases that received the most press coverage. You could always mention it in the articles about the schools/districts/libraries (again, with reliable secondary sources and PEN America isn't really one) specifically if it's notable enough.

Restriction on anonymous editing

I'm not sure why, but a bot removed the anonymous editing on December 5. The next day, December 6, there was anonymous editing to the gender pronouns. Thoughts on how to add back the restriction? Bridges2Information (talk) 18:37, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Guettarda: It looks like you added the restriction on September 2. Thank you for doing that. Is it possible to do it again?</nowiki> Bridges2Information (talk) 18:40, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Bridges2Information: Pages are normally protected for a limited time so when that runs out a bot will remove it. You can request page protection to be readded here: Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. Sariel Xilo (talk) 22:50, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Bridges2Information and @Sariel Xilo - there has only been one anon edit, and it's reasonable to take it at face value as someone thinking they were correcting a typo - so I'm hesitant to re-protect yet. I'll try to keep an eye on things though, and please ping me if (when?) problems pop up again. Guettarda (talk) 23:07, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Misgendering the Author

I was reading this to gain more information for a panel I am running, and I was wondering why the article misgenders the author. The author is very explicit that e uses Spivak pronouns (e, em, eir) and you mention that in the article itself but then continues to use the wrong pronouns. I was wondering if there is a reason for this that you could explain to me. 216.163.221.192 (talk) 18:25, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is Wikipedia policy to use singular they pronouns in place of

Neopronouns. See MOS:NEOPRONOUN DashDashUnderscore (talk) 18:48, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) This is the current policy on neopronouns: If a person exclusively goes by neopronouns such as ze/hir, then the singular they should generally be used instead of neopronouns when referring to that individual, though their requested pronouns should usually be mentioned in their biography (such as in prose or in a footnote). While I don't agree with it, the policy was determined by a RfC (a processes within Wikipedia's dispute resolution system) in November 2022 (see archived discussion here). The manual of style isn't static and the policy could change in the future; you can see how various policies came about here: Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Gender identity#Discussion timeline.
