Bruce Jenner

Please stop editing Caitlyn Jenner as the winner of the gold medal in decathlon. The official Olympic website has the winner as Bruce Jenner. Until the official results are changed, the medal was won by Bruce Jenner.104.254.95.106 (talk) 16:23, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's policy to use the current name for transgender individuals, not their past name. Continuing to make such edits is likely to lead to your being blocked from editing. Skyerise (talk) 16:35, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's pretty bad form of you to threaten IPs with blocking for perfectly legitimate edits. You're being quite disruptive, @Skyerise:, in making edits to topics while a discussion in under way (one which you've participated in). If anyone's going to get a block, it's you, if you keep this up. ¡Boz zio! 16:39, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's a WP:BLP violation and they should be blocked. Skyerise (talk) 16:40, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You're being disruptive. Quite while you're ahead. You know full well this is under discussion, leave it. ¡Boz zio! 16:44, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The official Olympic Records list Bruce Jenner as the winner. This is consistent with an encyclopedia, and the way other records and name changes are handled.69.69.186.3 (talk) 17:08, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please actually read MOS:IDENTITY. Name changes are handled differently for transgender poeple. Skyerise (talk) 17:10, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Again, see the standard for athletic records. This is consistent with all athletic competitions and organizations. I have added a source. Please don't delete it.69.69.186.3 (talk) 17:15, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

MOS:IDENTITY overrides all other policies on the matter. You should self-revert. Skyerise (talk) 17:19, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Skyerise, you know MOS:IDENTITY isn't policy, right? It's only a guideline. Those are two very different terms on Wikipedia, you need to learn the distinction. ¡Boz zio! 17:22, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So the official Olympic website is not a reliable source? This is ridiculous.69.69.186.3 (talk) 17:24, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sure it's a reliable source. But we use transgender persons new names throughout Wikipedia. The source confirms the individual won, it does not mean we use the old name as reported before transition. Skyerise (talk) 17:27, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

When the IOC changes the record, the article should reflect that. Until then, the article should go by official Olympic records.69.69.186.3 (talk) 17:30, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
