'Amputee' categories

This article is listed under the categories American amputees and Romanian amputees, despite the fact that Ms. Bricker is not actually an amputee—her legs were not amputated; she was born without them. I feel that these categories are factually inappropriate for this article (and the article for them) and should be removed or replaced with categories more suitable.

There are situations Wikipedia is maybe uncertain at categorizing. There is a Category:People without hands, so it does not necessarily mean amputees, but there os no Category:People without feet or Category:People without legs. Possibly if her specific condition is known we could do a category for that. Or create one, or both, of the two I named.--T. Anthony (talk) 05:50, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

XLinkBot revert

I would like to appeal the autorevert of the link I posted to Jen Bricker's TED talk: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SavMCoqh1Y4 This is not like an official music video. She gave the talk because she wanted to reach people, not as a for profit venture. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.36.234.29 (talk) 01:09, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Also, it seems the auto revert removed the whole External links category, including the link to worldcat.org (a library union catalog) of her autobiography. I see other wikipedia pages, such as https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Dreams_from_My_Father that have worldcat.org links, so I don't know why this disappeared, and I don't see the reversion in the editing history (???).

Page move

Howdy all. Is Jennifer Bricker the right name for this page? I'm pretty sure it's not! But what should it be???

Scanning the sources cited in the article, Jen Bricker seems much more "the term or name most typically used in reliable sources" (see also: WP:NCBIO). It's the name on her website and on her book. But then there's the recent last name change to Bricker-Bauer. Per WP:NAMECHANGES, "If the reliable sources written after the change is announced routinely use the new name, Wikipedia should follow suit and change relevant titles to match." But, a quick search shows she's still commonly being called Jen Bricker in RS. Not exclusively. Maybe half the time?

So the question is, Jen Bricker or Jen Bricker-Bauer?

Waiting to reach consensus before I move/request a move/create the appropriate redirect(s) other than Jennifer Bricker-Bauer, which seems rarely enough used to safely rule out it being the new name. Jen Bricker is already a redirect, so that would need a move request anyway, so if no one weighs in here, I might include an ask for consensus with the possibly necessary move request.
