This article needs work -- it needs to be structured better, and explore the issues at hand a little more deeply. I cleaned up some of the writing in the first paragraph, and reordered the material slightly. StrangeAttractor 06:27, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
The existing List of sexual slurs is well-referenced, but what encyclopedic purpuse does it serve? Better to havethe effort concentrated on making this article as good as possible. - brenneman 03:04, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
I am a moderate user of Wikipedia and I was disappointed to find out that the list of (sexual) slurs had been deleted. I actually used it to find out what certain words meant in movies (for examples in Clerks II). The list does serve a historical purpose in showing certain sentiments that live or have lived in society against certain groups of people. Publicizing the list demystifies the slurs and shows their true nature. Slurs are an essential part of language and should, IMO, be included in Wikipedia. I don't think I'm the person to re-publish the list. I just hope it hasn't been deleted and gone for good. -- Erik.
This article is misnamed. The standard used throughout Wikipedia is to identify a topic in the singular. There are cats of many breeds, yet the article for them is called cat. See also dog, country, game, list, topic. The plural is reserved for lists, as in list of cat breeds, list of historical cats, list of dog breeds, list of famous dogs, list of fictional dogs, list of fictional cats, list of countries, list of games, and "List of ____ topics".
