# Talk:Lady Red Couture

How should the subject be referred to on subsequent mentions? Some of the RS in the article opt for "Couture", while others opt for "Lady Red". I went with "Couture" for now, but this is yet another case of "Is that a surname?". Armadillopteryxtalk 17:24, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Armadillopteryx, I wonder if another option is to simply identify "LRC" as an abbreviation for "Lady Red Couture", and then use "LRC" throughout the article? ---Another Believer (Talk) 13:30, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
@Another Believer: That could work. I was also toying with the idea of referring to her as "Baines" throughout, since (unlike in most drag performer articles) the Career section doesn't take up an overwhelming majority of the article. Maybe beginning the Career section with something like: "As Lady Red Couture, Baines did XYZ." Not sure how I feel about that, though, since it does go against our general precedent of using the drag ID for work done in drag and the out-of-drag ID for info about the person in their private life.

@Nikkimaria: I read the template doc from your edit summary, and I see it says to not link countries, but it doesn't say anything about states specifically. I see you left Utah linked but not California; is there a good rule of thumb for this? Armadillopteryx 00:27, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

MOS:SEAOFBLUE - [[City, State]] or [[City]], State are both okay, but [[City]], [[State]] or [[City, State|City]], [[State]] should be avoided. Nikkimaria (talk) 11:37, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
