Recommend for rewording to avoid gendered pronoun.

[edit]

I accidentally came across this article and made edit to use gender-neutral pronoun, until I pay some attention and notice from the beginning until edit 1021237219, the pronoun used in this article was "they/their", until user L.T.G made 3 consecutive edits and the only thing he/she did is to force use the she/her pronoun, accusing other edits as "unconstructive" and stating that "singlular they is “looked down upon” and “not recommended by wiki manual”", while not able to provide the reference to the "recommendation" part in any so-called "wiki manual". In fact, there is no consensus mandate nor against the use of singular they, let alone "not recommended by wiki manual". There is an essay on Wikipedia:Gender-neutral_language which clearly instructed editors to better rewording to avoid using particular pronoun, pluralise, or specifically use the phrase "he or she". I have pluralised the sentence as a hot fix, but place this discussion here until the editors reach a consensus on this one and notice newcomers that this problem has been discussed before in case there's further editor war. 🤪🪱 22:08, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
