Wiki states '... Ambassadoring the Coppers decreases the chance your opponent will Ambassador you two Estates while increasing your own chances for the same...'
I read this as I would get 2 Estates. But is the intent of the statement that the opponent will return 2 Estates to the Supply so that you would get 1 Estate?
-Thanks

Hello, Hello
full wiki statement:
The most common Ambassador dilemma early on is drawing it with 3 Copper + 1 Estate. Contrary to popular practice, Ambassadoring 2 Coppers (rather than 1 Estate) is the best play; deck-thinning is, at this point, more important than a marginal increase in your attack. Moreover, Ambassadoring the Coppers decreases the chance your opponent will Ambassador you two Estates while increasing your own chances for the same.
I read this as I would get 2 Estates. But is the intent of the statement that the opponent will return 2 Estates to the Supply so that you would get 1 Estate?
Note that the wiki statement is about tactical advice, not about rules. The rules are you can return 0,1, or 2 of the same name cards to the supply. Afterwards opponents get 1 copy of a card by that name from the supply.
What the wiki advice is about is: if you can choose between returning 2 coppers or 1 estate you should choose to return 2 coppers. The line you quoted simply says that if your opponent gets more copper in his deck he is less likely to get a hand with amb+2 estates and that you are more likely to get this hand because you have less copper and your deck is thinner than when you would've returned only one card.

You could just edit the wiki page and remove the "you" in that statement which would already fix the confusion in my opinion.

Could someone recommend how to rephrase this strategy statement so that it is clear on what the strategy is trying to present?
I can edit the wikipage if I know how to rephrase that sentence.

Just remove the word "you" from the phrase "Ambassador you two Estates", as Qvist suggested, and it is clear.
