Wheel chair bound vs. using

There is nothing in MOS:IDENTITY that justifies the changes you have been making. Furthermore, you have provided no evidence that this is a preferable term. Instead, you are simply substituting your opinion. Please stop. This matter should be discussed amongst editors before these sorts of changes are made. ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 14:38, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

====The term "wheelchair bound" is pejorative and ableist and has no place in an encyclopedia. This is well understood by people who have an understanding of disability issues and is covered <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_disability-related_terms_with_negative_connotations">in this Wikipedia article</a>. I am not stopping in my work of removing inappropriate language from the site.Aecamadi (talk) 14:05, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

You have to prove, with reliable sources, that this term is widely-held to be pejorative. You have not done so. ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 01:58, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Ina Garten

A modest proposal:

== Charity work for Make a Wish ==

The Make-A-Wish Foundation has a very strong working relationship with Ina Garten, a celebrity wish granter who has generously made herself available to grant a wish in the past. Ina is a good friend of the Foundation and we are grateful to her for her support of our mission.

— The Make-a-Wish Foundation

A young seriously ill boy's mother contacted Make-a-Wish asking if Ina Garten could cook dinner with him. Ms. Garten declined, citing commitments. Make-a-Wish offered other wishes, which he refused, saying he would not accept anything else that the world had to offer. His mother, despite repeated attempts, was not able to convince him to ask for anything else. He has now accepted another Food Network host in her place.

A gossip site framed this story in their own special way. Random, mostly anonymous, people on the internet vilified her for not being available to fulfill the boy's demand.

Make-a-Wish disagrees with the criticism, saying "no individual has an unlimited capacity to grant children’s wishes on demand."

Ms. Garten raised $600,000 in donations for charity by cooking. Her critics asked why she couldn't have not raised the $600,000 and instead made dinner with the boy. None of those critics offered to make up the $600,000 their proposal would have cost the other charity. Instead, they asked if she had time for this charity, why didn't she have time for the boy.

Make-A-Wish foundation did not have anything nice or printable to say about the gossip blog TMZ.
