Original research

I have removed a paragraph of what appears to be original research. Unfortunately, Wikipedia cannot accept content when there are no sources to be found. Please see Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Reliable sources. Thanks, BanyanTree 13:12, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Consistency in use of Lango/Langi

This article says "Lango will be used in the text instead of "Langi". Driberg used Lango, not "Langi" in his study "The Lango: A Nilotic Tribe of Uganda (1923)." Kihangire (1957), interviewed Lango elders for his dissertation, and "Langi" is not mentioned in the text, but Lango or Lango people."

Who is Driberg? Who is Kihangire? Why is there a question in the use? Is it because in the Lango language, one says 'one Lango, two Langi'? If the article uses Lango, why is the article name Langi people? Shouldn't this be changed? DBlomgren (talk) 10:03, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
