They
For the grammar demons out there: TEF uses they for the missing third person, gender-neutral pronoun. This has wide-acceptance among a number of people, although, afaik, it hasn't really been adopted by the largely white-male dominated krewe that gets to write the rule books. And, to be fair to their point-of-view, there are a good number of herstorian types who eschew its use as well. However, until someone comes up with an acceptable substitute pronoun to use when the person is known, but the gender is not confirmed, I'm stickin' with it.
 * TEF Prefers: I know that Chris is a good person, having spoken to them online many times. However, they have never mentioned their gender to me.
 * TEF Avoids: I know that Chris is a good person, having spoken to him/her online many times. However, he/she has never mentioned his/her gender to me.

Another archive
Congratulations on your annoying-comment free page, that I've just messed up. I see you don't move your page to archive  Random  Time   09:53, June 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * thanks! (I think) This wiki's official archive recommendation pushes Cut/Paste with equal weight to Move. (Plus, I know I can reliably c/p; not so sure I can manage a move without ruining something.)  &mdash;Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 10:08, June 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, it's all pretty simple. I stayed by copy-pasta too at first, but from wiki perspective, moving is a lot interesting. And not much harder. The only problem is that you make a few edits more to get the archive boxes on and stuff.--[[Image:El Nazgir sig.png|Talkpage]]El_Nazgir 11:30, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
