The contentious topics procedure applies to this page. This page is related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, which has been designated as a contentious topic.

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be blocked or restricted by an administrator. Editors are advised to familiarise themselves with the contentious topics procedures before editing this page.

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 LGBT WikiProject, or, in the case of living people, to the BLP noticeboard.

Semi-protected indefinately[edit]

After reading the 2008 AFD's, it seems to me the least we can do to prevent distress to the subject of this article, and stop the flow of poorly sourced BLP violations is an indef semi-protect. Therefore it is done. Courcelles 23:07, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

2009 Examiner.com interview[edit]

I just ran across this intimate interview with Calpernia on Examiner.com from 2009. She talks about winning a GLAAD award, moving forward after the death of boyfriend PFC Barry Winchell in 1999, what it means to be transsexual, her military days, her views about PETA, and why she calls herself a "weirdo". It's a very interesting and insightful read. Lynch, Kelvin. "Calpernia Addams: From 'Soldier's Girl' to superstar". Examiner.com. Clarity Digital Media, LLC.

link to Portal:Biography[edit]

I see no reason to link to Portal:Biography under "see also". Nothing there is relevant to this (good) article. 77.127.89.140 (talk) 22:05, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Addams Family[edit]

I've seen the film literally a billion times. I do not recall the name 'Calpurnia Addams' appearing on a tombstone. Rather, Wednesday's teacher and Morticia discus the picture that Wednesday submitted of her "Aunt Calpurnia," in which Calpurnia is apparently being burned at the stake atop a mound of skulls.
