 * "They" were not born. SHE was born.  Correct pronoun use can hardly be ignored. 2600:4040:3105:E200:10D6:80B7:CD61:1581 (talk) 03:12, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
 * MOS:GENDERID is very clear on this subject. Why keep bringing it up? ArtemisFolly (talk) 03:54, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

'They' doesn't belong in an encylopedia
I understand the issues involved but the use of singular 'they' is ridiculous in an encyclopedic article. Stick with he or she. If you really want to avoid such pronouns then use the person's actual name. -- XANIA - ЗAНИAWikipedia talk &#124; talk 13:55, 1 April 2022 (UTC)


 * BRAVO!!! 2600:4040:3105:E200:10D6:80B7:CD61:1581 (talk) 02:09, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Are you suggesting that all encyclopedias should re-edit all of their entries to remove all pronouns referring to all persons and instead incessantly repeat the names of all concerned? The correct pronouns for everyone to refer to you are the ones you identify with. Lundy-Paine has a human right to be referred to by their chosen pronouns too. 2601:19A:C000:600:51A5:3402:EBE5:2DCF (talk) 02:42, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Hi,
 * 1. The initial request is, of course, correct. Encyclopedia should be grammatically correct, and according to both British and American English grammar, he/she/it is used with singular entities, while they/them is used with plural. We all learned it in schools as native speakers or as a foreign language class.
 * 2. Obviously, to be referred to by chosen pronouns is not a human right. This is just incorrect.
 * 3. The original suggestion was a vary delicate formulation of a somple concept described above in (1). Delicate, because the author even gave an alternative, i.e. a way to avoid doing grammar mistakes if someone for some reason does not want to use pronouns compatible with the number of people referred. Most encyclopedias do not need to edit anything, because they are written correctly. Only mistakes need to be corrected.
 * 4. "The correct pronouns for everyone to refer to you are the ones you identify with" - this is also incorrect, it is like insisting to address and treat me like I am an emperor if I am actually not. Andra1ex (talk) 22:25, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Please see MOS:SINGULARTHEY. —Joeyconnick (talk) 10:14, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
 * 1. I wrote 4 facts. If you have to say anything please do.
 * 2. There are no "neopronouns" and "ze/hir" are not even English words. World do not recognize these things. It is some niche/esoteric language. Encyclopedia is a source of knowledge - not a toy for a group of kids. Andra1ex (talk) 21:31, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

I've requested indefinite page protection of this article given the multiple violations of MOS:GENDERID that fly-by-night IP editors seem to love perpetrating in this article. —Joeyconnick (talk) 08:40, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
