This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

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 non-binary people. 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. Many, but not all, non-binary 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.

Hi Sjmiller - I was happy to start this page as I felt you were notable enough for a Wikipedia biography, but I think you have a bit of a wrong idea about how things work on here. Wikipedia isn't like a web hosting site or press kit, and I'm not comfortable with someone (anyone - not just you) dictating to me (or any other editors) how their biography should read on Wikipedia. If there are major inaccuracies that need corrected (and have reliable sources for the correct information) that's fine to point out, but beyond that it's not really proper to dictate exactly how a page about you should read. Wikipedia biographies are written about people, not for people. I hope that makes sense. Funcrunch (talk) 04:02, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also see Wikipedia:Core content policies for information on what can and can't be included in a Wikipedia page. Funcrunch (talk) 04:15, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You would still be angry if I use they/them/their. Beebeenewan (talk) 01:26, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Beebeenewan: Are you personally connected with @Sjmiller? You seem to be taking a particular interest in editing this page. Funcrunch (talk) 16:52, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am interested in editing the page and I want to revert my edits. Beebeenewan (talk) 23:31, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think you meant you want to restore your edits. In any case, as I just noted on your talk page, you need to stop edit warring. This article does not misgender sj Miller, and it was already stated in the lead that Miller does not use personal pronouns. I won't revert your latest edit, but if someone else does and you restore it you might end up reported and blocked. Funcrunch (talk) 23:50, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I moved the part talking about sj Miller not using pronouns down to the personal life section. Beebeenewan (talk) 00:09, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I just changed "incorrect" to "wrong" as they are the same thing. 2001:8003:E9EE:1301:9194:8F7E:E189:D948 (talk) 09:09, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
