Pip Wilson

Hello Qster 2323, I've just added these comments in the talk page of the Peter Wherrett/Pip Wilson page. Ian Smith (talk) 08:50, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I noticed that you had made a wholescale – and in my view radical change to this article: changing all but one of the references to “Peter Wherrett” to “Pip Wilson”, and changing the name of the article in the same way.

I contest the changes you have made – and I’m surprised that you did this unilaterally with no prior flagging of the changes, nor discussion. You will, I expect, have noticed that similar changes had been made before - and then reversed.

I imagine that your rationale for the change is that the person who the article refers to a) had a long established practice of cross-dressing in women’s clothing spent (noted in the article, and the book by the article’s subject), and; b) the reported fact of article’s subject spending most (but I understand not all) of their last several years of life living as a woman with the name Pip Wilson.

I emphasise the last point – most of the last two years of life – as my understanding is that the person concerned, towards the very end of life, reverted to the male persona of Peter Wherrett – doing so at the behest of family members – and thus dying under the name Peter Wherrett. You will see in the “talk” comments reference to this.

I do understand that the person under discussion, as noted above, and to quote the Seahorse Society obituary: “… lived full-time as a woman in the Lake Macquarie area for the last two years of her life, which she described as "my last great achievement". Notwithstanding that, I contend that for the bulk of their life – and certainly with regard to all of the things for which the person is known – motoring journalism and motor racing – they were know as Peter Wherrett. The persona Pip Wilsom was not know for any of those things - so it is nonsensical for the article to state, for example, that “.Wilson raced in the Bathurst endurance race in 1969 in a Mazda, in 1970 in a Ford Falcon, and in 1974 and 1976 in Alfa Romeos “or that “Wilson was also a pit reporter for Channel 7's coverage of the 1983 James Hardie 1000 at Bathurst.” Pip Wilson did none of those things, Peter Wherrett did.

So, in the spirit of discussing major change first, I propose to revert the changes from Wherrett to Wilson. I invite your to discuss – if you wish? Ian. Ian Smith (talk) 02:09, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! This is me, I'm just not logged in right now. Pip Wilson did in fact do all these things; she was the same individual behind the wheel. I changed the article according to MOS:GID, which includes the following:

"In articles on works or other activity by a living trans or non-binary person before transition, use their current name as the primary name (in prose, tables, lists, infoboxes, etc.), unless they prefer their former name be used for past events. If they were notable under the name by which they were credited for the work or other activity, provide it in a parenthetical or footnote on first reference; add more parentheticals or footnotes only if needed to avoid confusion."

My edits are in accordance with this policy as much as they can be. That article does not include anything about deceased individuals, but they do reflect Wilson's gender identity in her final days.

Thank you. 12.0.89.245 (talk) 02:30, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
