Is there a best practice as to when to do it? Obviously we should do it in doubtful or unusual situations, but would it be odd to do this for everyone? Example: our person�s name is Shelby R. Gilley. Our proof that this is a man�s name is on page 63 (Shelby Gilley wrote about his friendship). Would �page 63 (his)� be sufficient? Or even �page 63 ([male])�? I have found cases where the only proof is the name itself as a clearly masculine or feminine name, or the only proof is the author�s picture.
