The first Wikipedia article on Incel came about half-a-decade after the very beginnings of the self-identified community back in the late 90s. Wikipedia debuted on Jan. 15, 2001 and the Incel page was made on July 29, 2004.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20040729080456/http://en.wikipedia.org:80/wiki/Involuntary_celibacy</ref> Using archive.org, you can see that the idea of Incel was presented as a neutral term as well as gender-neutral. It was nicely unbiased, as how the Incel community had had it for so many years. For the next decade, incels could find [[IncelSupport]] through Wikipedia and see that it was a place for anyone. Here is an example from 2006: "Yes, hickoryridge, Cernan posted a link to this site on Wikipedia! He's doing a great job, isn't he?"<ref>http://z15.invisionfree.com/IncelSupport/ar/t42.htm</ref> | The first Wikipedia article on Incel came about half-a-decade after the very beginnings of the self-identified community back in the late 90s.
