@ Beyond My Ken: You said my edit was a POV edit. I'm confused by this, because the guidelines say that it doesn't matter if I have personal beliefs/biases about a topic as long as the edit itself is neutral.
The terms that I edited out of this page are detrimental to the article's clarity and style:
1. By definition, a wheelchair is a mobility aid. Its sole purpose is to increase mobility. The confinement is due to Jeff's injury, not his wheelchair.
2. These terms carry unnecessary emotion. "Confined" and "bound" are words that both have connotations with imprisonment, and these terms cast the person in the wheelchair (Jeff, in this case) as a prisoner. These terms slip in an emotional perspective (that a man in a wheelchair is a prisoner), and they present it as a given. The term "uses a wheelchair" doesn't assume any emotional perspective, it just states a fact.
3. A great many style guides discourage these terms or language that is similar. Waitalie Nat ( talk) 02:56, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
1) In the Production section, regarding composer Franz Waxman, it says "his contributions were limited to the opening and closing titles and the piano tune "Lisa" was written by one of the neighbors." What neighbors? Neighbors to whom?
2) In the Analysis section, why is male gaze in scare quotes? -- Pete Best Beatles ( talk) 06:34, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
