Talk:Jessie Mei Li

Pronoun changing
Why does it keep changing between she and they? who are they?2600:8807:828F:7600:9883:405B:6822:D827 (talk) 01:32, 29 April 2021 (UTC)


 * I am of the opinion that we should use either she/her or they/their, and not mix them throughout the article. My vote would be for she/her as it matches how Li is referred to by others quoted in the article, and can be slightly easier to read in certain sentences (where others are referred to as well as Li). Given the actor uses both she/her and they/their herself/themself, I have changed the article to read she/her. Poojean (talk) 10:54, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Can we form some sort of consensus here? Any other opinions on this? Otherwise I will keep consistent as she/her - it matches the quoted text in the article - I have no axe to grind about it though. Poojean (talk) 21:42, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Please do not change the title of linked articles - we shouldn't change the language other publications have used. Poojean (talk) 08:25, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I'd be in favor of keeping the pronouns as she/her. Since it sounds like she is fine with both she/her and they/them, and she/her sounds more natural. I'm happy to hear other opinions though, especially if supported by reliable sources. – Novem Linguae (talk) 02:04, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * There is actually no basis for changing the pronouns used to refer to subject. Article has used feminine pronouns since the beginning and subject herself has indicated "... no preference ..." according to cited sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnnie Bob (talk • contribs)
 * FWIW, as Jessie's father and an older person, and given she has expressed no preference for one pronoun or the other, I concur with the above views to keep she/her. ArthurKaLi (talk) 07:51, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
