Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Wendy Carlos, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.   HelixxUnderscore (talk) 18:40, 15 November 2021 (UTC)


 * In particular, please see MOS:DEADNAME where it states: A living transgender or non-binary person's former name should be included in the lead sentence of their main biographical article only if they were notable under it. Note that Wendy Carlos became notable under her former name. Indeed, one of Carlos's albums was originally issued under the title Walter Carlos' Clockwork Orange. Therefore, to adhere to the principle of least astonishment, it is necessary to include Carlos's former name so readers searching for that name are not confused when they reach the proper article.
