Wow, look, a subjective judgement!
edit"and holocaust denial which is a crime in eight European countries where the Holocaust took place during World War II is not only despicable, but seen as a taboo for obvious reasons."
Looks like someone decided to put their opinion into the article?

Very choppy
editOverall intent to explain a taboo is very good. For the most part, to explaining taboos are more than a socities' point of view. One must explain taboos in the form of a romantic, because the two are very well intertwined with eachother.

Cite lost in severe reduction in article content has been restored
editI noticed today that the article cited Cook 1821 in a couple of places, but provided no information beyond that about what was being cited. Looking at the article history, I see that this edit reduced the size of the article, without explanation, from to 5,641 bytes. Included in the deleted material was the citation for *Cook, James (1728–1779), The Three Voyages of Captain James Cook Round the World, vol. 5, London: A&E Spottiswoode{{citation}}: CS1 maint: date format (link). I've added the citation back into the article. --
Defining Taboos
editTaboos, if existed in a region (small or vast), are defined and approved (under the table sometimes) by the strongest side in it only. They are imposed, directly (or indirectly, to be on the safe side) on its common people by those who rule them via a religious or political system, if not both.

Need more content!
editNeed more content, especially in the "function" section. We need peer-reviewed sources and scholars and their opinions on the functions of taboos. I know Freud, Jung, and Campbell have their own opinions. I will add as much as I can, but I have other articles with more pressing concerns. --Abu Yagub (talk) 04:45, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
