Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to United States v. Manning, as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. —me_and 16:15, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

The US vs Manning page is revering to him as a her -- I just tried to fix that. I notice the Bradley Manning page is redirected to Chelsea and it's fine to use the feminine there -- but legally and in common understanding Brad Manning remains a man -- and it is both confusing and stupid to refer to him as a her in that entry.
 * It is, yes. The style guide states "Any person whose gender might be questioned should be referred to by the gendered nouns (for example "man/woman", "waiter/waitress", "chairman/chairwoman"), pronouns, and possessive adjectives that reflect that person's latest expressed gender self-identification. This applies in references to any phase of that person's life." Manning has requested people use female pronouns, so per the style guide Wikipedia should do so too, even in articles about the court case. —me_and 16:35, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
