<!-- Ha, nice one, with the above. Don't want to spoil the effect, but I remember when you started and created/renamed your account so know you'll find a way to read this if you're still as technically-minded. But just wanted to say that I revertednone article back to the standard fake {{template|Citation needed}} from the differently faked one because I did not understand the purpose of over-(de-?)egging the joke. Plus I reverted the "he/she"=>"they" you did because (though I'm a user of "they" myself, in reference to as-yet-unknown singular persons) it's probably going to be a contestable issue amongst others, but '''mainly''' because it's in someone else's signed words (I presume, no particular reason to believe it was your own comment under an anon-IP) and it is considered rude to 'correct' such things. Obviously, you could have (other) very good reasons for either edit, but it was unclear in the Edit Summaries. Redo them and I'll leave them alone, but give a better reasoning just in case another person thinks as I just did. Now, I suspect that the tildes won't even *try* to resolve if I sign this rambling commented-out paragraph, so if it doesn't just accept that I'm an anon-IP writing on 5/Aug/2022 (give or take locality), as the edit-history will also show. ;) ~~~~ PS. Just remove/revert this away again once you've read it, if you want. -->

<!-- Me again... Seems like you're on a quest. I'm *not* reverting your non-Talk exits, but still think that some people will find "they" less preferable than the long-form (that also excludes any non-binary, I know), for one reason or another. Mass-changing will just attract such reactionaries. Just sayin'...  (ineffectual squiggles here) -->

Hello VPN user who is sometimes using the IP 141.101.99.242, thank you for reverting both of those. The <sup>[<i><font color="blue">citation needed</font></i>]</sup> one was technically a (in my opinion)harmless piece of vandalism, so it's correct to revert that. Regarding the other one: I hadn't realized that it's been part of someone's signed comment, and have afterwards adjusted what pages I was searching in. I haven't changed any other signed comments or discussion posts, thank you for reverting that one, as that one really was rude.

Since this is hidden from everyone's first glance anyways, I'll just leave it.

Some people definitely will, but on most other pages the singular they is used anyways and this was more cleaning up the last few bits than a big long quest. I don't think that anyone else is going to reverse it, thank you for voicing your concern though.
