Roma/Romani

Hello. I saw the changes you made to Romani people, along with your reasoning. I also saw that your edits have been reverted.

I have no opinion one way or another on which is the better name. But consistency is desirable, for the sake of reader comprehension, so an article's subject should generally be referred to within the article with the same name given to it in the article's title. If you'd like to begin a discussion about moving the article to a different title, WP:RM will explain the procedure.

Before you do that, see the discussion at Talk:Romani people#Roma would be better then Romani, which puts forth the notion that the group known as Roma is only a subset of the Romani. Largoplazo (talk) 16:13, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Good afternoon.

Romani is a small group of Roma from UK, also known or Romanichels. The largest part of Roma call themselves Roma, as it is the case in the very language, which is Romani. Romani is ok to use when referring to the language, or culture, but the people call themselves Roma. It should never be the case that a small group of people calling themselves Romani decides on the name of the entire people, where the overwhelming majority call themselves Roma. The 'argument' put forward by some, that Romani is the grammatically correct term in EN does not work. We exist as Roma universally and out side the limits of EN language, so if you want to respect the Roma people call them as such, and don't give into the agenda of an extremely small minority group within the Roma people who call themselves Romani, only because they have a strong advocacy and communicate well in EN. Please reply to my position. Thank you! Thousand of Romani people should not dictate how the millions of people should call themselves. dandoghi (talk) 13:30, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Thousand of Romani people should not dictate how the millions of people should call themselves. But one of them on Wikipedia should? Anyway, as I pointed out, there was already a discussion on this. I'm not going to have it one-on-one all over again with you here. Largoplazo (talk) 18:15, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
