In that link, why doesn't Wikipedia mention the subject's "Born" name, like they do with others who change their name? Natalie Portman, Teller, Elton John, just to name a few.
Because Wikipedia tends to err on the side of respecting the wishes of the subject. For a less political example, CPG Grey's page doesn't have his legal name or photo despite them being pretty easy to find. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CGP_Grey
If someone legally changes their name, that would indicate to me that the subject wishes to be known by the new name. Yet Wikipedia will still list the birth name.

Wikipedia's name policy is to include names that someone was notable under. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Biog... This includes trans individuals, such as Chelsea Manning or Elliot Page, who have their birth name in their respective articles. For some reason, these Wikipedia editorial decisions are extra controversial around tra…
Elton John was notable as Reginald Kenneth Dwight?

#35I imagine this will do a speed run of unbanning -> turning into a cesspit of toxicity because ‘free speech’ -> lots of people leave because it’s so unpleasant.
It’ll be fun to watch though, as someone that’s never valued the site.

how many times has he been called "Kanye West" in headlines and news stories in the past couple weeks? nobody gives a shit about deadnaming him, because he's a Bad Guy Saying Bad Things, which proves that there actually is a political conditional on the supposed core moral value of "deadnaming is an utterly terrible thing to do, always, and there's never any excuse for it".
I've tried repeatedly to bring this up online and nobody even attempts to explain this obvious moral contradiction away. I genuinely want to know how someone can hold both "deadnaming is reprehensible and should never be done ever" and "it's okay to just call him 'Kanye West' lol" in their head at the same time without imploding in a poof of self-contradiction.

My Twitter feed is full of “There are only two genders. Test” And links to medical papers on myocarditis. Two things that would get you banned quick.
Yeah, I'm seeing a big uptick in myocarditis stuff too. That's despite being very selective about who I follow; it's showing up in the replies. The disinfo crowd (not just on that topic) is off to an even quicker start than I expected. Just in time for the midterm elections, too. :(
Myocarditis in young men below the age of 18 from the vaccine is real and verified. This was even shown by the CDC during the ACIP meeting for the bivalent booster. It's roughly about 1 in 5000 chance of getting myocarditis, and about 1/3 of the patients are still suffering from it 90 days after diagnosis.

#38It'll be very interesting to see what advertisers stick around through all this mayhem.
