Pronouns and gender edit
Hey Everyone, I happen to know Sadie Benning in person, and I know they recently changed their preferred Pronouns to he/him/his instead of she/her/hers. But when I tried putting this info into the wikipedia entry about him I found out that I couldn't put original information about him in.
I'm honestly just trying to respect their preferred pronouns.SadieFujita (talk) 18:09, 11 March 2017 (UTC)SadieFujita
- That's commendable, but we can't accept those changes until there are sources for it. Please remember that you're an anonymous person on the internet. We can't just take your word on this. freshacconci talk to me 18:20, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
- If I may offer a compromise solution to this conundrum, I note that in the 2017 New Museum Catalogue "Trigger: Gender as a Tool and a Weapon," Solveig Nelson does not use pronouns to describe Benning's life and work in his biography. Could the article refer to "the artist" or "Benning"? Hesse1984 (talk) 20:32, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
Non-binary edit
I found a source from 2017, that stated they do not identify with genders (in German)[1] - the source was added to the article today. It's possible there is a later source that states something different (like they prefer he/him), but I think we would need a new citation for that change. Jooojay (talk) 07:32, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
- Another source from 2018 that says, "I wonder if the vehicle is symbolic of transitioning, of Benning’s experience moving between and beyond the gender binary."[2]

Close paraphrasing and/or copyvio edit
There appears to be some cut and paste and/or close paraphrasing happening in this article from these two sources,[1][2] I used the Earwig's Copyvio Detector today and the results were 27% but it did not automatically review the MOMA link (and possibly missed other sources listed in the references) - the MOMA link is a 45.1% violation. We need to work on rewriting this article and providing stronger sources, this is a BLP.Jooojay (talk) 01:43, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
