:I am going to miss Maddie on Pokemon and she just got a job back on it. This has to be such a sad time for her family right now especially this close to Christmas but at least it was a peaceful death. Thanks Maddie for giving al us fans 8 Years of entertainment and may you Rest in Peace. You will be missed [[User:WolfMan of Light|De Wolfy is here]] 17:42, 18 December 2008 (UTC) | |||

::::::: I fully agree with honoring Maddie's memory, but making an article that does not meet the criteria a featured article is not exactly maintaining the standard of neutrality that is paramount for a good encyclopedia. That being said, I say we let this be for at least a day or two.

:::::::: Ohhhh guys I have to say that is a nice thing to do for her and I know that she would appreciate it. I am still deeply saddened by it though. [[User:WolfMan of Light|De Wolfy is here]] 17:43, 18 December 2008 (UTC) | |||
:::::::::Wait, we couldn't have just changed the heading to "In Memoriam"? Admin plz? — <small>[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|<font color="#0000C8">THE TROM</font></small>]] — 21:38, 18 December 2008 (UTC) | |||
::::::::::Apparently, the link to her blog has changed to http://web.mac.com/maddiejoan/iWeb/Site%202/Bio.html [[User:Captain Skank|Captain Skank]] 21:07, 27 December 2008 (UTC) | |||
== "The late" == | |||
Is it really necessary to post "the late" on all the pages of the characters she has voiced? We don't do that for any of the other VAs who have passed away ([[Tomiko Suzuki]], [[Hirotaka Suzuoki]]), so why should Maddie Blaustein be any different? --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] <sup>[[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]]</sup> 16:53, 18 January 2009 (UTC) | |||
: I agree. Adding "the late" is pretty sloppy, it is also entirely redundant since all one has to do is click on the name to learn that the actor is deceased. [[User:Trainer-c|Trainer-c]] 18:53, 18 January 2009 (UTC) | |||
== Removing the Deadname == | |||
As a trans person myself, I feel it is really disrespectful to continually use "Adam" in reference to her on many pages. I get that this site wants to be as accurate as possible, and having it mentioned once on her page (while acknowledging it is a previous name she no longer uses) is alright, but continually referring to her by that name on various pages is extremely disrespectful and distasteful. I think all pages of Season 1 characters that continue to feature this name should be changed to her preferred name [[User:Dccteog|Dccteog]] 12:00, 20 February 2022 (UTC) | |||
:The issue with that is, if people try to compare our site to one of those episodes, they won't see "Maddie Blaustein" anywhere. By ignoring what's in the episode, we'll just create confusion; one way or another, we have to acknowledge the name as the episode wrote it. I don't know if there's a good way to minimize it without still causing confusion... (Now, if it was a case like someone wasn't credited for a minor role and we actually know the VA from the person's direct acknowledgement or a reliable staff list or something, that'd be different.)
