 * unsure how to edit the title Stella0003 (talk) 20:59, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, seconding the above comment. Recent webinars/events have also changed their pages to reflect the artist's wishes:

 * Shannon was notable under her former name, therefore it is appropriately encyclopedic to mention it in the article. It looks like this is the relevant policy: MOS:DEADNAME. I found the expert discussion at Talk:Chelsea Manning to be helpful.
 * In light of that I am adding "(formerly Shannon Finnegan)" at the top so it's clear. If we can get away without emboldening it, let's do that. -- econterms (talk) 17:23, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
