Talk:Portuguese Burghers

Title
Title should be "Portuguese Burghers" since Sri Lanka has Portuguese Burghers instead of "Portuguese people in Sri Lanka". Do not move to unfamiliar title or talk here. Thanks. --Ant a n O 03:32, 23 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Please, do not try to erase or alter the ethical identity by renaming specific name to common or vague name. There are so much of study about this ethical group. They have own institution for secure their culture, language, etc. It applies to Talk:Dutch Burghers. --Ant a n O 04:25, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Your reasons for reverting my edits are very weak. I wish you'd have started a discussion first. You fail to see that I am expanding the capacity of the article. Keeping the articles to just within the scope of "Portuguese Burghers" or "Dutch Burghers" limit them to only the legacy of the Portuguese and Dutch people in Sri Lanka. If we expand the scope then there is no limitations on the article and can include Portuguese and Dutch people in Sri Lanka who are not specifically Burghers. It would be another matter if these articles were highly detailed "Good Articles", but they are not. Renaming them also brings them in line with all other immigrant/diaspora Wiki articles. Also there currently already exists a much more detailed article on Burgher people, while the two articles you have reverted is hardly in any credible condition. There's in no need to repeat articles. Burghers today are not distinguished as Portuguese or Dutch or British etc as they are such a small group and always have been, they call themselves "Burghers". Furthermore I encourage you to google "Portuguese Burghers" and "Portuguese people in Sri Lanka" (and the same with the Dutch) and see which is most common. If you want to help and expand these articles be my guest, but please don't revert my edits without discussion.--Blackknight12 (talk) 14:07, 24 January 2016 (UTC)


 * You can expand the the capacity of the article while not damaging the title. Who told you that today Burghers are not distinguished as Portuguese or Dutch. If you don't know the different between both groups, you should do research more, and "small group" is not an issue since there are micro level article for place and myth. I don't need to google for finding it. I live in the community rather than search engine. Please stop to erase the comunity identity. It is an encyclopedia, not an ethnic cleansing! --Ant a n O 14:48, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
