Category talk:Pejorative terms for people

message: Words/ terms held as offensive and degrading people with disabilities include retard, crippled, looney, idiot savant, blind bat, dumb mute, limbless, lame, and corky from the TV character from 1980s show 'Life goes on'. Although terms like handicapped aren't entirely unacceptable, but it's used as a disparaging label at times. We need to watch our words when talking about persons with disabilities, physical and mental, in ways not to indignify them as people, no matter how they look or behave. It's a lesson of tolerance and respect to those persons, most of them able to live normal lives. + 207.200.116.10 03:09, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pejoratives for disabled persons 

message: I'm a newbie to Wikipedia. I thought that Wikipedia was supposed to not present a POV. It seems to me that saying "Gay" is a pejorative term is a POV. I don't consider it a pejorative term. Can someone give me feedback on that? Thanks. Jay 03:48, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: "Gay" is offensive?

message: Based on my observations, this list is very BIAS, because its missing some terms that are HIGHLY OFFENSIVE without a doubt!!! It lists terms that should NOT be on the list like "U Word", "House Negro", etc. BTW, "House Negro" should be "House Nigger" which is the actual name for the insult though both are offensive. Also, pejorative terms for Hispanics and Asians are missing such as "spic", "beaner" "Chink" "Jap", etc. Also some pejorative terms for white/Caucasian people (i.e. "honky", "cracker" "whitey", etc) and for men ("cocksucker", etc) are missing and should also be added on this list.
If this list gets any longer, it should be retitled as non-politically correct language due to its over inclusivness. Slang is not the same thing as perjoative. If that were true, the entire english language would be included. User: retrograde62: 4:46 24 September 2016 (UTC)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.180.255.76 (talk)  
It is not a list, it is a category. If you find missing articles that are relevant to its scope, you can add them yourself. Some of the terms you mentioned have no Wikipedia articles covering them. "Cocksucker" for example is a redirect and links to the article on fellatio. Dimadick (talk) 06:36, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

thread_title: Update?

message: I respectfully don't see a logical point in doing so. Merging the First Story Arc, Rhea Gall Force, Gall Force: Earth Chapter and Gall Force: New Era would be poor judgement. When I created those articles, it was done with the intent to individually flesh out each story. It was done so that other wikipedians can distinguish the stories from each other, but that cannot be accomplished if everything was put into one article. Isn't the purpose of wikipedia is to flesh out, define, and explain things? I truly believe that merging here would contradiction to that purpose.(LonerXL (talk) 04:02, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

"However, the Bobby name lives on in Watchfire Corporation's Watchfire Bobby program" 
I'm somewhat certain that Watchfire kept the Bobby name only briefly, then ultimately abandoned the name after integrating its functionality into WebXAct. I'm also somewhat certain that this technology as it now exists within the IBM product no longer uses the name Bobby.

thread_title: Low points?

message: Since "Taiwan" has been added and removed from this article, as well as related articles, it would be good if we could get consensus as to its inclusion or exclusion.  It seems to me that it is reasonable to include it as long as there are clear disclaimers that it is governed by the ROC and not the PRC.  This is in the spirit of neutrality for a disputed territory, and it also seems reasonable that anyone wanting to know this data for provinces of the PRC would likely also be interested to know the same data for Taiwan for comparison purposes.  I know that this information is certainly of interest to me.  As long as there are clear disclaimers, I don't think it seems political or confusing to include Taiwan.  What do others think? Vontheri (talk) 23:28, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Mark Kostabi

message: Mark Kostabi's book, Sadness Because The Video Rental Store Was Closed, includes many beautiful and unique works of art.  The book is somewhat rare, but can be found from used dealers.  Interestingly, it varies greatly in price depending on the seller.  Good copies can be acquired for as little as 9 or 10 dollars, while others sell them for over 100 dollars.  The Strand bookstore in Union Square, New York City, has a good condition copy in a locked glass display case.  Of over "18 miles of books," it is one of only a few that is honored with being displayed behind glass.  Also of note is that the book carries no price tag, but a simple inquiry to the staff will yield a price of 75 dollars.  Amazon.com currently (June 10, 2006) has a seller giving up a used copy, signed & dated by Mark Kostabi, for less than 10 dollars.  To further the discrepency issues, another seller on the same Amazon page is asking more than 100 dollars for a non-signed copy in similar condition.
