Amelio was a Zapatista revolutionary and absolute chad, he also lived to be 94 years old long into the twentieth century. We need some emojis of this guy.

Anyone else think the article is a little strangely written? It genders him correctly a few times but it like goes out of its way to use his last name instead of his chosen name or pronouns, kind of annoying

eh that's wikipedia for you and probably has to do with western journalism copy practices.

yeah that's probably just style guide. Go on Weird Al's page and control+f "yankovic". maybe OP article could stand to use pronouns more often but there's a " he" and/or "his" in every section and it's pretty short.
