editPlease do not change the personal pronouns of individuals in articles, as you did to Heinrich Hertz. Wikipedia refers to all people, including transgender and nonbinary people, by the pronouns they have most recently requested for themselves; this applies to all phases of their lives, unless they have requested otherwise. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted; repeatedly adding incorrect pronouns may result in a loss of editing privileges. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Gaismagorm (talk) 20:47, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- Also, Heinrich Hertz isn't even transgender. RteeeeKed💬📖 20:51, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- do apologize,its a musunderstanding, but the facts and pronouns we corrected his wife is a Female,a "her",that's all thank you Smithsonianfactcheck (talk) 20:56, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- The sentence may be structured awkwardly, but it's referring to Heinrich, not his wife. —C.Fred (talk) 20:57, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- ok but the awkwardly constructed sentence has been clearly corrected to show FEMALE,thank you sir Smithsonianfactcheck (talk) 20:59, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- And what is your source for that claim? There is nothing in the article to even remotely suggest Heinrich was transgender. —C.Fred (talk) 21:03, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- wait are you referring to me, or the smithsonian factcheck. Just check the edits I reverted by smithsonianfactcheck, I hope that might show why I was thinking that it was improper changing of pronouns (although It appears I was wrong, which i do admit) Gaismagorm (talk) 21:06, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

- also the edits wording was very much not neutral. but yeah I think I used the wrong warning, my bad! Gaismagorm (talk) 20:58, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- yes your bad,we are trying to make GOOD. Smithsonianfactcheck (talk) 20:59, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- ??? I think using all caps is definitely not good. Also calling something that is just a simple akward sentence "transgender lies" ain't great either. Gaismagorm (talk) 21:00, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- also what do you mean "we". only one person should be editing under your account. Gaismagorm (talk) 21:02, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
