Happy editing! Regarding your changes to Adeney: Wikipedia goes with sources. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:52, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted the others, please find consensus first, and go lightly. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:16, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits fall so far outside the bounds of neutral point of view and plain common sense that I think a block is in order here. If you're being serious, see the essay Beware of the tigers; if you're not, which I strongly suspect, you are not welcome here. Graham87 15:37, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I edited the phrasing to GNL. How is gender-neutral language not a neutral point of view? My edits are less biased, less controversial, and more patently "neutral". Such is the basis of GNL-adjustments. My edits are fully within common sense. It's possible that there are simply that many articles that require a neutral point of view, adjusting from the biased language to GNL. Charlie Golightly (talk) 17:58, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I explained above that Wikipedia goes with the sources. If the sources use "he" for a subject, Wikipedia has to use "he" for facts referenced by those sources. Anything else is "original research", a no-no. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:10, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
