Emma Kirkby
Hi Nkjuno, thanks for the correction you made to the Emma Kirkby article. Wikipedia tries to be quite careful about identity issues, and following the Gender identity guidelines we always try to respect individual preferences. At the same time, though, we need to make sure that where a specific source for a statement is given, our text doesn't contradict what the source actually says. That's a fundamental feature of the Verifiability policy, and for that reason we can't I'm afraid simply swap out the old published information with your own personal knowledge. We can, though, simply not refer to it, and that's what I'd suggest we do here. That seems reasonable, as your gender identity isn't really germane to an article that focuses on your mother's life and work. I hope you think that's OK. Happy to discuss further if you'd like to.
