Warning: active arbitration remedies

The contentious topics procedure applies to this article. This article is related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, which is a contentious topic. Furthermore, the following rules apply when editing this article:

You must be logged-in to an extended confirmed account (granted automatically to accounts with 500 edits and an age of 30 days)

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 women. 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.

Demote to semi protected?

Looking at history, all the vandalism has been IPs, and such a high protection level might prevent people wanting to improve the article. 100.6.92.95 (talk) 08:36, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per the notification template on this page, this article is subject to the Wikipedia:Contentious topics designation, hence the protection.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:47, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Profile Pic

File:Nava 6336 close vertical.jpg

Hello,

By way of introduction, my name is Marianna Shafran and I'm the publicist for Nava Mau who is currently starring on Netflix's Baby Reindeer.

Unfortunately, Nava incredibly dislikes her profile photo and has tried changing it several times, but her page seems to be under some kind of protection. Is there any way we could possibly change it to the image attached in this email?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you! Mariannas1985 (talk) 22:39, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mariannas1985: I'm sorry to hear Nava dislikes the photo I took of her. To clarify, did you take this new photo yourself? If not, you need to get the photographer to confirm that it's released under a free license. Please see instructions here. Funcrunch (talk) 22:52, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why is she called an "actor"?

in the second paragraph, under career, it says "In 2019, she was the lead actor". If you go to her personal website, she identifies herself as "filmmaker, actress, cultural worker". I feel like the word actor should be changed to actress there. 191.41.43.130 (talk) 22:44, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've updated the sentence to read "actress".-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:16, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Original name

Should we add Nava Mau's original name and more information about her family background? 98.123.38.211 (talk) 02:58, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, per WP:DEADNAME as she did not gain notability before her gender transition. Funcrunch (talk) 15:29, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

American actress

She should be listed as American. Though her country of origin was Mexico she moved to the United States at a young age and was raised in the United States. That's the convention used for all others such as John Leguizamo, Mila Kunis, Amy Adams, etc. Outlaw0451 (talk) 07:43, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Updated lead and added categories to clarify that Mau is a Mexican American. Funcrunch (talk) 18:48, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See MOS:CONTEXTBIO - ethnicity and birth location don't belong in lead so American only in intro and also categories to match. Geraldo Perez (talk) 05:18, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
