Cross-reference
Equity Language Commons
Every progressive equity-language style guide says something a little different. This commons puts them next to each other: per term, by year, with the source's own words, so you can see where they agree, where they disagree, and what's shifted since 2013.

How to read an entry
- Each term page shows every source organization's ruling: quote, year, page reference, and a position badge (use / use-with-care / non-preferred / avoid / contested / evolving).
- Sources are sorted chronologically so you can see how the term has moved over time.
- Synthesis paragraphs identify the cross-source pattern, where guides agree, where they diverge, and what's shifting.
- Every quote is under 50 words (fair-use safety margin). Every quote cites org, year, and source URL or archive reference.
