- This page links prominently to ad hominem for the text "personal attack" in the lede. This page should provide its own definition of a personal attack suitable for its own purposes, not a generic dictionary definition, which may change over time.
- As pointed out at w:Ad hominem#Criticism as a fallacy, there are reasons why discussion of a speaker may be relevant. Importantly, w:Wikipedia:No personal attacks says "Note that it is not a personal attack to question an editor about their possible conflict of interest on a specific article or topic". Similarly, pointing out that a speaker is the author of the relevant content, has added similar content on other pages, and similar remarks may be relevant. The current wording of this page is very strong, namely "Never suggest a view is invalid simply because of who its proponent is." This could be understood to ban any discussion or observations about a user's behavior or perspective.
- This page mentions "homophobic" epithets. Homosexuality is a contentious social issue. The term homophobia in contemporary usage is vague and includes "a wide range of negative emotions, attitudes and behaviours toward homosexual people" (David A. F. Haaga, qtd. in Plummer, David (2016) One of the boys, New York City: Routledge, →ISBN) We should avoid contentious topics and vague, theory-laden terms like this.
I would suggest revising from w:Wikipedia:No personal attacks instead of trying to edit from the current page revision. Daask (talk) 18:16, 17 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
