| Wkipedia states that each article must represent viewpoints in proportion to the prominence of each viewpoint in the published, reliable sources.Giving due weight and avoiding giving undue weight means articles should not give minority views or aspects as much of or as detailed a description as more widely published aspects. That way Misplaced Pages is equating repressed minorities, either ethnic, sexual, political or others with "fringe theories", which is I may say a disgrace. This way Misplaced Pages reproduces discrimination and if the question is raised, just another policy is quoted, naimly WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS, as if we are again talking about some personal beliefs and quirky original researches. It is not about righting wrongs in the world, but simply improving the wiki project. ] (]) 14:38, 5 March 2020 (UTC) | |||

NPOV and gender pronouns
Is the proposition "One ought to refer to people by their prefered pronouns" not a proposition Misplaced Pages should remain neutral towards according to NPOV? 212.55.46.63 (talk) 20:02, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
- Are there any reliable sources that indicate that misgendering people is useful discourse? Should we consider whether calling other users slurs is NPOV also? Not sure I understand the purpose of this question. Ashvio (talk) 09:42, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
