Links to what you yourself describe as “a modern dictionary” (i.e., a dictionary fashionably conformed to current fads) will be taken under advisement, as will links to Wikipedia in this context.
Singular "they" is listed in the second edition of Fowler's Dictionary of Modern English Usage (1965), is that still too "modern" for you? Anyway, welcome to the future.
