-There is a substantial media campaign to falsely describe the incel phenomenon as a "cult", "creed" or "subculture" rather than what it really is: a situation, circumstance and condition. Some ideologists are also trying to redefine the term "incel" as some sort of angry-virgin hipster movement. When incels rally around the term "incel" it only gives more ammo for the media and ideologists to categorize inceldom as a subculture. That's why a recommended editing editing practise is to minimize usage of the term "incel" as an all-encompassing term in articles, and instead be specific where applicable with terms such as [[incelosphere]], [[inceldom]], [[cybercel]], [[truecel]], [[incelist]], [[inceldom spectrum]] etc.
+The first lexicographer to have defined the term "incel" is [[Ton den Boon]]. We at Incel Wiki endorse his definition because it is descriptivist rather than prescriptivist. When you edit please incline towards Boon's definition.
-The [[incelphobe]] attempts to redefine the term "incel" by engaging in overgenderizing (unnecessarily assigning masculine or feminine qualities to a word). We shouldn't empower the modus operandi of the incelphobe by following in their footsteps.
