Gender

[edit]

It is relatively silly to refer to Mir as "she", since in Russian this word (and also "ship" in general) is masculine — that is, "he". Maybe, English speakers would at least agree to use the gender-neutral pronoun "it" for this inanimate object? ;-) — Mikhail Ryazanov (talk) 08:48, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, WP:SHIPPRONOUNS indeed says that genderless pronouns are as good as feminine, so I changed it to neutral. — Mikhail Ryazanov (talk) 04:02, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
