The contentious topics procedure applies to this page. This page is related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, which has been designated as a contentious topic.

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be blocked or restricted by an administrator. Editors are advised to familiarise themselves with the contentious topics procedures before editing this page.

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 doesn't match what's 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 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 must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

If you are a subject of this article, or acting on behalf of one, and you need help, please see this help page.

Where is the bio info?!

I suppose this all all that can be gleaned on line. Would have thought a curious reporter would have scored an interview by now. She may be a private person. Hopefully we'll have it before the TOC. 172.12.246.184 (talk) 14:14, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No longer tied

Amy won todays game, making her a 39 day champion and officially the player with the second longest streak. The article should be updates accordingly. 2601:249:8300:E1E0:29AD:49B9:B474:C0B1 (talk) 00:24, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It literally just happened. Don't rush us--CreecregofLife (talk) 00:30, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to rush you. It aired 3 hours ago here and I have seen wiki articles updated within seconds so I got confused. Take your time. 2601:249:8300:E1E0:29AD:49B9:B474:C0B1 (talk) 00:35, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just remember that every market is different, such as in NY and Florida, where it airs at either 7 PM or 7:30, though admittedly a lot of the markets get that hour. More markets airing it, the more that'll be ready to publish the progress--CreecregofLife (talk) 00:54, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, this comment is unnecessary. 2601:249:8300:E1E0:29AD:49B9:B474:C0B1 was simply requesting a perfectly reasonable edit be made to semi-protected page. That's not rushing anyone; that's contributing to Wikipedia. No need to respond to that with hostility. Hadger (talk) (contribs) 07:13, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Loss 1/26/2022

I didn't want to add this to the article yet, before getting others opinions. Amy lost on today's episode, but it hasn't aired in most areas. I have a source here. Any thoughts from other users about adding this to the article? Spf121188 (talk) 20:16, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

At least wait until it airs in most areas, gets pickup. If/when it happens, go ahead, even using the same source (diversifies it). I know Wikipedia has a policy that spoilers don’t matter, but I think for something like this, it’s a bit of a different case. It’d be like adding a movie’s entire plot after a sneak preview screening.--CreecregofLife (talk) 20:40, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Birthdate

Don't think I've seen anything regarding the actual date itself... but as per this article from The Wall Street Journal, she received her pearls, "...last year as a 42nd birthday gift from her girlfriend..." Still not super helpful without an actual date, but it sounds like she turned 42 in 2021 and will turn 43 this year. But again, without an actual date, she could be turning 43 next month or already could've still turned 43 within January. Either way, don't think it would hurt to add that WSJ article as an additional source for her age. Magitroopa (talk) 03:39, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly wouldn’t. Good find. I do feel like an increased Twitter presence might lead to an unearthing, even if three months seem to be checked off already. I know, primary and self-published sources policy, but if no one has it by now, is it really going to come from anywhere else--CreecregofLife (talk) 04:07, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Factual inaccuracy re: first openly trans contestant

The article claims that Kate Freeman was the first openly transgender contestant on the show. This is factually incorrect; Fran Fried competed on the show in 2017, and openly discussed her identity to local media. One article at that time suggested she was not the first (see https://dailyvoice.com/connecticut/bridgeport/neighbors/ct-radio-host-becomes-third-trans-contestant-in-jeopardy-history/724361/ ) Freeman may have, at most, been the first such champion. 2603:6080:6A00:1500:D416:EC88:3597:9212 (talk) 00:00, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

First trans competitor, winner tournament champions

I think this is right: She was the first openly transgender person to compete in, and to win, the “Jeopardy!” Tournament of Champions.^[1]

Can somebody please double-check that and include it in the article if it's right? Thanks.

I think it's right too! We mention in §Jeopardy! streak that she was the first trans competitor to qualify for ToC, and we mention in the subsection §Tournament of Champions that she won. Do we need to explicitly say that she was the first trans winner of ToC? Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 01:50, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I’d like it said just for the record. I also didn’t at first see where it said “Schneider is the first openly transgender contestant to qualify for the Tournament of Champions.” - maybe that could be repeated in the tournament of champions section in case somebody just looks at that section? It seems equally relevant for there and the place it’s in now. 100.11.62.231 (talk) 22:09, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As there was no objection, I added it to that section.100.11.62.231 (talk) 06:11, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As the protecting admin I'd like to note that policy doesn't not force us to use subpar images just because they're free. If there is concern over the use of the image, a discussion at WP:BLPN may help determine whether the image should be used if it's of poor quality and objected to.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:18, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We have a new photo submission! Ponyo thanks for protecting the article in the editing rush, 510Betch thanks for registering a wiki account and uploading this photo that you took as your first submission, and thanks JTRamsey for adding the photo to the wiki article.

She's not a woman

She's not a woman, folks, she's a trans woman, which means she's a man. Therefore, her accomplishments do not accrue to the accomplishments of women as a group.

"She is" NOT "the most successful woman ... ever to compete on the show". A good encyclopedia does not deny science. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.38.185.65 (talk • contribs) 02:40, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A Wikipedia Talk Page is not a WP:SOAPBOX, as you have been repeatedly warned about and blocked over. Take your transphobic opinions elsewhere. —LinkTiger (talk) 17:17, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What I said isn't transphobic; it's a fact. The idea that one's gender identity (if indeed everyone has one, which is certainly not proven) makes a person a real man or woman is a new idea, not more than a decade or two old. It is not a fact. Biology, however, is a fact. Schneider is a man, pure and simple, and her accomplishments do NOT accrue to the accomplishments of women as a group. The article needs to reflect that FACT.
