   @laurelrusswurm: A birth certificate is different from an article in an encyclopedia, I think. The name of the article is not history.

     @drak Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It is a reference resource. When people look up historical information, we use appropriate key words.

     @drak The majority of people in the world who have an idea who Bradley Manning is will be looking for an article called “Bradley Manning.”

     @drak If someone searching for “Bradley Manning” arrives at a a page called “Chelsea Manning” they will think #Wikipedia is broken.

     Does that also hold if he or she arrives at a page saying “forwarded from Bradley Manning”?

     Though I am not really *sure* about the right way to act here. If you want to look up a Chelsea Manning referenced in a (future) news article, you’ll expect to see a page with her name. If you want to look up the historical person from an old article, you’ll expect to see an article with her former name.
