Gypsy Criminality
Why is this section missed from this article? Mazarin07 (talk) 11:55, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
- Presumably for the same reasons it is also 'missing' from similar articles regarding 'ethnic groups', eg Jewish people, German people, English people, Albanian people etc. RashersTierney (talk) 12:34, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
And that reason is what exactly?Padlokasul (talk) 13:35, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
- Aside from reinforcing false and inherently racist stereotypes, what purpose would it serve? Mediatech492 (talk) 15:24, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
It would balance the 'Contemporary issues' section which is too one-sided at present. There is no mention of criminal activities or other antisocial activities which are disproportionately high among Romani people. Where are the references to harassment of the public by Romani beggars? Are descriptions of negative behavior only allowed when they are directed against the Romani people, or is the mention of one single murder and one Romani gang sufficient balance-wise?Padlokasul (talk) 19:47, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
List of widely used English synonyms
Shouldn't there be a list of widely used English synonims next to the official name (i.e. gypsy(gypsies), pikey (pikies), gypo or gippo--BezosibnyjUA (talk) 01:47, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
- Names of the Romani people could perhaps be linked. RashersTierney (talk) 17:41, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
Edit request on 9 September 2012
Please add this note in the header of the article in order to avoid the discrimination created by the western European mass media against the Romanian people by associating the Romanians with the crimes committed by the Romani people in Western Europe.
Thank you.

Not to be confused with the ROMANIAN people. Bogdan.st74 (talk) 15:30, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
Done (as an aside, please refer to the note at the top of this page regarding personal attacks) Illia Connell (talk) 03:15, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
Remove the YouTube video.
Remove this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zirn1H4vE0Y link at the end of the article. It's not a reliable, neutral source. Padlokasul (talk) 13:33, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

The confusion between Rroma population and Romanians. Very important ! RAZVANTRUFIN99X (talk) 05:34, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
- It already says at the very top of the article "... should not be confused with Romanians, an unrelated ethnic group and nation..." I'm not sure what more is needed. Mediatech492 (talk) 18:15, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
- Closing this request as
Not done: per above response. —KuyaBriBriTalk 14:57, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
Why is there no absolutely no mention of the criminality that follows these people wherever they go ???
Why is wikipedia so consistently politically correct in defiance of the objective facts?
