| 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. |

QPQ: 
- Not done
Overall: 
What a great hook ALT1 is, I love it. Just a few small issues: "She died on September 9, 1962." needs a cite. ALT0 is not currently mentioned directly in the text, so that would need fixing or we can roll with ALT1. Also QPQ needs doing. Mujinga (talk) 17:12, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Mujinga: I've now done QPQ at Who Cares? (ballet). Death date citation is added, and text tweaked. Do you think ALT1 is the stronger hook? {{u|Sdkb}} talk 19:13, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
- Sdkb Cool QPQ is done, death is cited. I definitely think ALT1 is more hooky, so we can proceed by either 1/ striking ALT0 or 2/ mentioning and citing ALT0 in the article, then I can approve both. Up to you! Mujinga (talk) 11:00, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Mujinga: Let's go with ALT1, then! {{u|Sdkb}} talk 16:00, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
cool, striking ALT0 and approving ALT1, image is relevant and appropriately licensed. Mujinga (talk) 21:26, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

Notes from new page patrol review
editNice work! North8000 (talk) 18:52, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
Why is her deadname relevant like why is her old name on the page 4 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.127.88.66 (talk) 10:17, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
- Probably because she became notable under that name. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 12:13, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
gender pronouns
editShould the article refer to her as 'her' rather than 'he' in the article 42.2.120.167 (talk) 11:25, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Discospinster: Hey! might I presume this user should be "she" instead of "he"? --Deepfriedokra (talk) 11:59, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
- Propose to protect this article as pronouns are being edited/reverted at a high frequency. The legal basis for gender identity is, as a current status worldwide, not universal, and thus open for debate. Because this article refers to an American person, I do think "she" should be used, considering the legal jurisdiction. Shonen84 (talk) 12:03, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
- And we have no interest in all of that. We have MOS:GENDERID. Will probably SP for a long time. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 12:09, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
- Nice, ok, wasn't aware of that, thanks! Shonen84 (talk) 12:11, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
- My pleasure. It has been a learning experience for me as well. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 12:14, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

Marriage?
editThe article states: "When Richards's marriage became public during her case, she told reporters she would have it annulled. . ." This is the first mention of an actual marriage in the article (only a proposal is mentioned previously, leaving it up in the air if the proposal was accepted and if a marriage actually took place). There needs to be something about getting married before referring to a marriage. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 17:34, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
