Edits on September 20, 2010[edit]

I'm about to make some edits to bring the article in line with Wikipedia's policies as per Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons, Section 3.4:

3.4 People who are relatively unknown (Wikipedia:NPF)

Wikipedia contains biographical material on people who, while notable enough for an entry, are not generally well known. In such cases, exercise restraint and include only material relevant to their notability, focusing on high quality secondary sources.

Because Gina Trapani is relatively unknown (to the general population), I will be removing the following information because it isn't relevant to her notability: 1) her marital status, and 2) information about her college. I will keep the information about her writing, coding, and show-hosting accomplishments because those are what make her notable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drttm (talk • contribs) 03:17, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I dont think this page follows the Wiki's Guidelines Creativecognizants (talk) 11:21, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think this may need to be revisited. Gina was a relatively large part of the "It Gets Better" project by Dan Savage.--Vagabond997 (talk) 15:35, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Homosexual[edit]

There is great reason to believe that she is a homosexual. Someone needs to incorporate this into this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.121.233.179 (talk) 22:37, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:BLP, contentious claims like that about living people need to be supported by reliable sources, preferably quoting the person themselves. Unsourced speculation is not desired. Robofish (talk) 21:50, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, she does talk fairly openly about her wife. I'll see if I can find a source. —Al E.^(talk) 02:19, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why does that need to be incorporated? It's not what she's known for. If she were extremely famous, or a gay rights activist of some kind, sure that's relevant. Personally, I came to this page while looking into the history of lifehacker and at no point while skimming through the page here did I think it was important to me to know her sexuality or relationship status. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.174.211.145 (talk) 13:52, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is encyclopedic. The article is about the person. Biographical information is not not merely acceptable, it is not only appropriate, it is fundamental. If you come to the page about Abraham Lincoln while looking into the history of civil rights, will you be annoyed to know about his upbringing in a log cabin or his troubled marriage? (... By the same token, if there's a great reason to believe something, the Wikipedia article should cite the great reason. If it's not a Reliable Source, then maybe the information does NOT belong in the BLP article until we can cite one.) GcT (talk) 15:48, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

From the woman herself, responding to this very section: https://twitter.com/ginatrapani/status/560860262010732545. Personally, I don't know as it's relevant, but MOS:IDENTITY and this page may be instructive. 38.88.212.34 (talk) 18:35, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

She's married to a woman, as is cited in the article (http://jezebel.com/5017210/). I'm not sure how much more homosexual one can be.
