:Hi {{u|Sjmiller}} - I was happy to start this page as I felt you were notable enough for a Wikipedia biography, but I think you have a bit of a wrong idea about how things work on here. Wikipedia isn't like a web hosting site or press kit, and I'm not comfortable with someone (anyone - not just you) dictating to me (or any other editors) how their biography should read on Wikipedia. If there are major inaccuracies that need corrected (and have reliable sources for the correct information) that's fine to point out, but beyond that it's not really proper to dictate exactly how a page about you should read. Wikipedia biographies are written about people, not for people. I hope that makes sense. Funcrunch (talk) 04:02, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I've noticed some slow edit warring about the use of the pronoun 'their'. According to the personal life section...

{{talk quote block|Miller is agender and nullpronominal (does not use any personal pronouns)}}

This is backed up by the references [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sj_Miller#cite_note-lgbtq-nation-16aug2016-8], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sj_Miller#cite_note-bw-23apr2015-6] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sj_Miller#cite_note-ol-4mar2019-42].

Per Self-identification, it is my understanding that we would use the person's preference?

to

{{tq|Miller is also a cat trainer and owns a catparkour training business}}.

This reads better and eliminates the need for any pronoun. Knitsey (talk) 12:49, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

::Hi Wikipedia people, sorry about the 'hit and run' post. I've had problems logging in issues until now.

::@Gaismagorm, I think some further guidance should be forthcoming for how we write about agendered people. I don't really have the skills to write good prose when not using any pronouns, it can sound like poor English composition when I try. I think I will ask some people from the Wikipedia LGBTQ+ community to step in to give some advice. It is 3am here, so I will do that late today. Knitsey (talk) 02:09, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

:::fair enough, my post was also kind of 'hit and run'. Gaismagorm (talk) 14:33, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

:The Neopronouns RfC was closed with consensus that neopronoun use in articles is {{tq|unhelpful to readers}} and that they/them pronouns are acceptable for all subjects (MOS:SINGULARTHEY). I don't think it's a huge stretch (at least, not requiring another RfC) to apply the same consensus to apronouned individuals. Based on this, the article can use they/them pronouns for Miller, although it would be polite to do so as sparingly as possible.

:Solely for reference (style in sources has no direct bearing on our implementation of GENDERID), the [https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2016/08/trans-man-haunted-frightening-brush-tulsa-campus-police/ LGBTQ Nation article] declares {{tq|In the interest of not wanting to offend but to impart clear information, this report uses Sj Miller’s last name as often as is possible without cluttering the meaning unnecessarily}}. It uses "he" twice to refer to Miller in constructs where Miller's name would otherwise be repeated awkwardly. –RoxySaunders 🏳️‍⚧️ (talk • stalk) 16:41, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

::Thank you for the input @RoxySaunders. I think that there are parts where the article would read much better, and conform to English language standards. Reading the article, would it be preferable to use singular they/their rather then gendered he/she?

::I'm thinking that an editing note might also be useful for future editors? Knitsey (talk) 16:54, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

• The only sentence that reads poorly right now is the last sentence of the Early life and education section. I didn't spot any uses of the singular they elsewhere, but that sentence seems like it might need one. I support changing that sentence, and I suggest adding a note explaining that Miller eschews the use of personal pronouns, but we used a singular they in that place in order to increase clarity for the reader.

:::Sure. I would format it something like this: {{tq|While Miller prefers to use no pronouns at all and only to be referred to by name, this article has elected to use the singular they in a limited capacity, to avoid grammar which might be difficult for some readers to parse.}} I would also include the three cites supporting the existing statement about Miller's pronouns (or lack thereof) in the note. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 02:19, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

:I've done some cleanup on the bibliography stuff. Formatted it into a table and removed the mention of Miller's name in every goddamn entry.

::::::::::I am a former grad student, this was at least 8 years ago. So, may I step out of this? If we have more updates, do I still enter them? I don't know how wikipedia works. We want to ensure that a history is told accurately. Lachoza (talk) 15:13, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

:::::::::::I'd recommend reading WP:COI for help in determining whether or not you have a conflict. If you do, you are still welcome to suggest updates here, but we discourage directly editing the article. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 15:15, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

:::::::::::If you "don't know how wikipedia works", I strongly suggest you learn more before continuing to edit. Start with small edits, like fixing typos and grammar, on pages other than this one. Funcrunch (talk) 15:46, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

:I've notified the LGBTQ Studies WikiProject about this discussion. Funcrunch (talk) 15:58, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

::I made a report to WP:COI/N at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard#sj Miller two days ago as an uninvolved editor, following the notice to LGBTQ+ Studies. So far there has been no response from anyone other than Lachoza. I have notified and warned this user not to edit this article unless and until there is further guidance and to try to always log in before making any contribution to the site. In the process, I identified some other IP edits (see linked threads). One of these may be a third party, maybe the subject of this article, or maybe both are Lachoza. I can't tell. If there's no word from COI/N after a week, I offered to make my own assessment and provide feedback to Lachoza. Now I worry I've over-complicated things by inserting myself. FYI to @Funcrunch and @Firefangledfeathers. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 15:52, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

:::I appreciate your help. Funcrunch (talk) 19:45, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

::After six days with no response from COI/N, I left [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Lachoza#c-Myceteae-20250617153200-Myceteae-20250611205700 my recommendations] for Lachoza (Special:Diff/1296063757). Briefly, these are to consider the relationship COI and to disclose appropriately, to propose changes on the Talk page, and to not remove the {{tlx|COI}} tag themself. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 15:38, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

:::Greetings colleagues. I appreciate everyone’s help here and truly admit that in the error was done intentionally it was done from lack of understanding protocol. The issue with the suggested edits seem to be addressed by you. That said going forward based on your recommendations I will appear to call.Can we please remove the tag? Lachoza (talk) 16:19, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

::::Oops, that should’ve said unintentionally. Lachoza (talk) 16:20, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

:::::: Thank you for your follow-up. I wanted to clarify that I did mention I was a former graduate student of Dr. Miller’s approximately eight years ago. I disclosed this during a prior talk, after reviewing the Conflict of Interest (COI) page.

:::::: As far as I understand, there has been some discrepancy—one person indicated this does not constitute a COI, while another suggested it might. I’d appreciate any further clarification you can provide so I can ensure everything is handled appropriately.

:::::: Thank you.

::::::Greetings respected team; has anyone had a chance to take a look at my comments? Lachoza (talk) 15:21, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

:::::::I continue to believe you have a COI, and I'd urge you to submit proposals here rather than editing the article directly. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 15:23, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

::::::::For clarity, submitting proposals here would typically mean using the {{tl|Edit COI}} template to request an edit. A simple guide to making a COI edit request is here, and tips on how to make a successful edit request can be read here. fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four (talk) 16:27, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

:::::::::How shall I respond? I am no longer going to make edits about Dr. Miller. I will leave that to wikipedia. That said, would you kindly remove the tag at the top? There is no COI. Lachoza (talk) 17:34, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

:::::::::: Would somebody kindly please get back to me? I am doing everything I can to have this situation resolved. I am requesting your assistance. Thank you.. I just don’t want this to continue to drag on. Can you kindly give me some direction? I appreciate you guys.

::::::::::Lachoza (talk) 16:27, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

:::::::::::If the edit your requesting is removal of the COI tag, I would decline. We generally remove those tags after an editor without a COI reviews the whole article for neutrality. If you have suggestions about how to make the article more neutral, I'm all ears! Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 16:29, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

::::::::::::So if I can remove some information, then put it in the COI chat that the would be best route to go? Lachoza (talk) 16:31, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

::: Hi Mycetae… are you able to assist me so I can get this resolved? No one‘s getting back to me and I’m not really sure what to do at this point. I have asked several times to have the tag removed and I’m really at a loss here.

:::Lachoza (talk) 16:29, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

::::I've tried to review all of @Lachoza's contributions which were still in the article as of revision 1294925028, made some minor changes, and as of the present version I don't see any remaining coi content issues from Lachoza specifically.

::::And Lachoza, it had only been 24 hours and 0 minutes since you were replied to last. Wikipedia isn't on a deadline and I'm not sure the cause for such urgency. fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four (talk) 18:21, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

:::::I am just so "darn" upset with myself and embarrassed for inadvertently creating an issue and putting more work on your plates. Lachoza (talk) 01:39, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

:::::I think the tag was added due to COI concerns about Lachoza specifically, so that review satisfies my outstanding concerns. {{u|Funcrunch}}, you good with tag removal? Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 14:03, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

::::::I am not convinced that @Lachoza does not have a COI. I would be OK with removing the tag if they agree to cease editing this article, whether from any account or while logged out. Funcrunch (talk) 14:55, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

:::::::{{tq|"I would be OK with removing the tag if they agree to cease editing this article"}}, honestly don't like this at all. Maintenance tags are not bartering chips, they should be used to document issues currently present in the article and nothing more. Currently I don't see any issues in the article that have stemmed from Lachoza's edits.

:::::::To quote from Template:COI: {{tq|"In order to be tagged, the article should have a specific, articulatable, fixable problem. Do not apply this tag simply because you suspect COI editing, or because there is or was a COI editor."}} fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four (talk) 15:11, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

::::::::Fine. The connected contributor template I added to this talk page addresses my concerns. Funcrunch (talk) 15:19, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

:::::::::I've removed the tag as it appears we've reached consensus. If anyone disagrees and believes there are extant issues in the article caused by a COI editor then feel free to re-add the tag and restart the discussion. fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four (talk) 15:36, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

::::::::::It would be worth looking at the history of IP contributions, if not already done. I’m traveling and not really able to spend time looking at the edit history myself. I accept the consensus of the group. I agree the tag should stay on the Takk page and Lachoza should request/recommend further edits here rather than make them directly. Thanks, all. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 17:08, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

:::::::::::The only notable contribution from an IP editor still in the article is the {{tq|"Miller has written and spoken about the impact of bullying on youth"}} sentence that was added in Special:Diff/1260145388, I also checked for bad removals by IP editors and did not see any that impact the current article's state.

:::::::::::In my view the largest current issue remaining with the article is the overly long "Selected publications" section, if someone with better knowledge of Miller's body of work could trim it down that would be helpful. fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four (talk) 03:21, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

:::::::Funcrunch- you are truly an amazing and thoughtful person. I appreciate your fidelity to the process. I will hereby refrain from changes in the future.

:::::::Warm regards Lachoza (talk) 17:46, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

::::::I just [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ASj_Miller&diff=1296533421&oldid=1296532200 added a COI template] to this talk page, which should remain even if the COI template on the article is removed. Funcrunch (talk) 15:08, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

::::All I can do is recommend you be patient while other editors take the time to review and determine *if* the tag can be removed. These things take time. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 20:51, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

Lowercase sj in header. Be consistent with entry. Lachoza (talk) 16:30, 10 June 2025 (UTC)

:Assuming the "header" you're referring to is the Talk header at the top of this talk page, I just tweaked it so the leading "s" in the name "sj Miller" is now lowercase. Funcrunch (talk) 19:48, 10 June 2025 (UTC)
