Much agreement with Guillaime's comments. Otherwise I'll tweak as necessary.

The first sentence is problematic; it uses the wrong name, the wrong
pronoun ("his") and reduces the male-to-female transition to a mere
"name change". We must not post this.
Regarding the other proposals, I would favor saying "Wikipedians" or
"Wikipedia editors" instead of "Wikipedia" when saying "Wikipedia
responded", to make it clear the people who responded are volunteer
editors. It's more organic and human than "Wikipedia".
Thank you for writing the story.
