Anuak people[edit]

Hi and welcome to Wikipedia,

I have had to revert all your edits to Anuak people as you broke numerous references, links and images asserting that "Anywaa" is more correct than "Anuak". We often have these assertions on Wikipedia, and then someone else will assert their version. As these people appear to be validly known as "Anuak", "Anyuak", "Agnwak" and "Anywaa" we can not have all, one has to be the prime name used, and so everyone can not have their preference.

Wikipedia is for sourced information, see [[Wikipedia:Verifiability], and not personal experience/assertions, see Wikipedia:No original research, and the sources so far point to "Anuak" being more often used:

  • Links you broke include sites that use Anuak in the domain name i.e. : www.anyuakmedia.com and www.anuakjustice.org
  • Wikimedia Commons has 54 images in Anuak people and none in Anywaa people
  • Doing a Google search gives "Anywaa" as only 16,100 hits compared to "Anuak" with 110,000 hits.
  • The article has existed since 2005, and I can see no one else claiming this is an error (that doesn't mean it isn't just that you need to provide a good source to back it up)

I looked for an official government source, or something with a close link to the people themselves, but found nothing - so if you have one please add.

However, even if you have a valid sourced reason for this name change you must be much more careful when editing. You can not change, and thus break, references (page urls), image file names, wikipedia article links, etc. Just look at how you actually left the article here. All the images are broken, several references are broken, the link to the language, etc.

I understand this can be frustrating if you think you are correct, but just think how you would feel if this was the other way around and you had an article backup up by references and someone just came along and asserted a change. This is why sourced information with valid references is what is used.
