Edit war
and you are both engaged in an edit war over this article. I would like to remind you that '''you are not permitted to do more than three reverts within 24 hours, due to WP:3RR. You have both reached that limit and any more reversions will most likely result in a block.''' If you have a dispute, please settle it here. IP, you seem to believe that a primary source has stated that she is LGBT+, but Speaker disagrees. Please resolve the situation here. I will be monitoring this page. Thank you.

 * Hello, I'm very sorry for not taking to this page earlier to discuss the dispute, it was immature of me. I got distracted as I was waiting for a reply to the message left on the talk page of, I realise that both of us should have tried to resolve the dispute here instead. The issue I have is that IP's argument does not only rely on a primitive and questionable 'primary source', but that she is also attempting to add a source which is made up of user-generated content to try and back-up her point. This article: https://www.outsports.com/2019/6/11/18660301/out-gay-lesbian-bi-2019-women-world-cup-soccer is by admission based on 'reader tips', and its a lot less reliable than the Gay Star News article on this subject as a result (https://www.gaystarnews.com/article/meet-the-41-out-gay-and-bi-soccer-stars-in-the-womens-world-cup-2019/). The issue I have with the 'primary source', which, by the way, is not cited in the article itself, is that there's no way to verify its authenticity. People regularly create edited and/or photoshopped 'screenshots' of online conversations. If this is a reliable source, then I could just say well I had my own conversation with Karen and she said differently, and then provide a screenshot which I have made on Microsoft Paint and say that I've spoken to her. This is a biography of a living person: since when do we use screenshots from someone's social media messages as source's on BLP's? We don't, because they are in no way reputable. As I say, 'Tina's Instagram DMs' are not a reputable source.
 * People can easily fabricate the existence of conversations with someone online. As I say, you can message a random person with a block of text pretending to be Karen Bardsley and then easily photoshop this text as to place it on a 'screenshot' of a conversation with Bardsley and make it look like she has said that to you. I'm not saying that has necessarily done that, but how do we know for sure? Tina's Instagram DM's are not verifiable. They are not reputable. They are not fact-checked. They do not have an established reputation as a reputable source.
 * Thank you for replying promptly. Having heard your point I agree with you, Instagram DM's are not verifiable. If the IP breaks 3RR I will report them to WP:AN3. They have been blocked for one day. Regards, Giraffer (munch) 13:13, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

LGBT
This article lists her in such categories- and a quick look in Google results corroborates- but no mention/ citation is apparent in the article, which seems odd. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.24.237.90 (talk) 20:11, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
