Talk:Casimir Pulaski

message: Some people keep coming to this page and wholesale deleting the section about his remains, (apperently because being intersex offends some people???) last time before I undid it it was missing for almost a week. Should this page be protected maybe?★Trekker (talk) 06:47, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes I think it is for the best. It is still a controversial topic and seems to be rather ongoing as of 2020.★Trekker (talk) 04:43, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

text: The lead states "Analyses since the 1990s of Pulaski's presumed remains have raised the possibility that Pulaski was intersex." It does not state he was intersex, it states he was intersex, that is a WP:DUE representation of this. Why are you removing a see also link to the documentary The General Was Female?? The only issue that we can discuss is what categories are appropriate. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:44, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: There is a section in the article talking about this question: it has received significant attention from reliable sources, and if Pulaski was intersex that is noteworthy because the military has historically been a male-only profession. The lede of a Wikipedia article is supposed to summarize the key points of the article, so it is appropriate that there is a short neutrally worded statement about it at the end of the lede. The "See also" section is intended to link to articles on related topics, and both The General Was Female? and Intersex people and military service in the United States talk about Pulaski, so it's clearly appropriate to include link to them. The question of categories is less clear. Because he is no longer living, BLP guidance isn't relevant. I can't find a policy/guidance directly addressing it, and would suggest getting wider input since it's a question with implications beyond this article. Jason A.

replies: text: As I came here in the first place because the sources seemed to be too unscientific on first glance and as the Abstract to the paper is not accessible anymore, I would like to request that the ASU article and other sources mentioned here should be added to the article. Thank you in advance. Artifex2 (talk) 16:30, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Continued POV removals of his intersex status. 

message: I think the section on intersex should be included as it is well sourced, interesting and well documented. The article does disclose that there can’t be 100% proof positive that he was intersex but I think it balances out the hypothesis. It should not be located in the introduction or top section. I think it’s located perfectly in the article. Tentemp (talk) 03:02, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
