Gender pronouns

I have no idea why you altered Julian Assange's gender pronouns, as (as far as I know) he calls himself a man. Please read wp:point and wp:rightgreatwrongs, and wp:not.Slatersteven (talk) 09:32, 12 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Important message

edit

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in gender-related disputes or controversies or in people associated with them. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
