Talk:Alice Litman

This article should adhere to the gender identity guideline because it contains material about one or more trans women. Precedence should be given to self-designation as reported in the most up-to-date reliable sources, anywhere in article space, even when it does not match what is most common in reliable sources. Any person whose gender might be questioned should be referred to by the pronouns, possessive adjectives, and gendered nouns (for example "man/woman", "waiter/waitress", "chairman/chairwoman") that reflect that person's latest expressed gender self-identification. Some people go by singular they pronouns, which are acceptable for use in articles. This applies in references to any phase of that person's life, unless the subject has indicated a preference otherwise. Former, pre-transition names of living persons may only be included if the person was notable while using the name; outside of the main biographical article, such names should only appear once, in a footnote or parentheses.

If material violating this guideline is repeatedly inserted, or if there are other related issues, please report the issue to the LGBTQ+ WikiProject, or, in the case of living people, to the BLP noticeboard.

This article is written in British English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, defence, artefact, analyse) and some terms may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

Alice Litman has been listed as one of the Social sciences and society good articles under the good article criteria. If you can improve it further, please do so. If it no longer meets these criteria, you can reassess it.

Rate	Attribute	Review Comment
1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.	General Practicinor → general practitioner (sentence case) Done. suicide attempt can be linked Done. "she sought medical support with her gender transition" for her gender transition? Done. specify what "GIDS" is in the body Done. Comma after "effect on 26 April 2022" Done.
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.	Refs are placed after punctuation, not between text MOS:REFPUNCT Done, although I'm fairly certain "references are placed after adjacent punctuation, not before" means "where references happen to be next to punctuation, they should be placed after not before". UK uses dmy dates, so change 2025-03-10 to 10 March 2025, etc. Done.
2. Verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.	Yes.
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).	What makes Brighton and Hove News a reliable source? Apart from this, the article lists other reliable or well-known publications. Seems like a fairly standard WP:NEWSORG, but I was able to replace all uses anyway.
	2c. it contains no original research.	[5] OK [10] OK [15] OK [20] OK
	2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.	Copyvio unlikely
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.	OK
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).	OK
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.	OK
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.	Yes
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.	I note the image was taken by a new account... but I didn't see any other instances of the image on any other websites so I presume it isn't copyrighted.
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.	Yes
	7. Overall assessment.	Passed

... that a benefit concert for the trans community paid tribute to Alice Litman, who took her life after being denied gender-affirming care?
- ALT1: ... that a March 2026 benefit concert paid tribute to Alice Litman, who took her life after waiting more than 1,000 days for gender-affirming care?
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Miloš Vučević
- Comment: This is a bit of a different request. ALT0 is currently in Prep 3 for Trans Day of Visibility (see Trans Mission) and has been checked twice already. ALT1 is that hook with a bit more detail. What I want is to make that hook a double and I'm hoping that nomination's reviewer and promoter @Viriditas: and @Crisco 1492: can review and promote.

@Launchballer: Promoted to GA (new and long enough). Sourced, neutral, and copyvio-free. Obviously presentable. First hook part supported by The Line of Best Fit (and obviously other sources from the first article), with the second part of the hook supported by the BBC. The hook is short and interesting. It does not appear that any image will be used. QPQ done. Over to you, Crisco... Viriditas (talk) 10:24, 26 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Some changes

Latest comment: 4 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I've made some changes to the article which I couldn't summarize adequately in an edit summary, I hope they're welcome.

added Use British English and Use dmy dates as guides for any future editors
replaced File:AliceLitmantakenin2019.jpg with File:AliceLitmantakenin2019 (cropped).jpg, I feel that it better illustrates Litman by zooming in on her face and focusing more on her as a subject, while still retaining the essence of the original moment captured in time
paraphrased the lead, she became notable following her suicide and for that reason I believe it should be mentioned in the first sentence
moved two paragraphs about the aftermath of her death away from "biography" section and into a new section specifically about her legacy, not her actual life events
added portal bar
I also translated this article over to cy:Alice Litman

I'm happy to see this good article on the Main Page for Trans Day of Visibility. Respair (talk) 01:25, 31 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
