I've read that article, although it's been awhile. That's where I learned it apparently wasn't created out of whole cloth.
Personally, I like the alphabetic month naming scheme, and would hold that as more important than balancing the genders of the names (especially when, in the current era, gender is more or less a construct, and there are at least five of them), but I think leap day should be plugged in between two months, rather than stuck in the middle of one.
I also remember when Wikipedia was on a tear about erasing all references to web-comics. It's like there is a group within the Wikipedia editors who are desperate for Respectability, (the capitalization is important), and target anything within Wikipedia which has more to do with TV Guide or People than Colliers or Websters.
