Unexplained reversion
This reversal is bizarre. No explanation is given as to why all of the edits I made were wrong.


 * My removal of " |fam2=Eskimo " was an error and one I should not have made. It should have been corrected to Eskimo
 * The other two edits in the box were to avoid redirects.
 * In the first sentence Iñupiaq redirects to Inupiat people but the context of the sentence makes it clear the link should be to Inupiat language
 * " Inuvialuk " is a redirect to Inuvialuktun. Also Inuvialuk is the singular for Inuvialuit and should not be used for the language.
 * " [Inuvik, Northwest Territories|Inuvik]] and Aklavik are both redirects to Inuvik and Aklavik.
 * I added a reference at the end of the sentence. So we now remove valid references but leave unreferenced material in?
 * As per WP:OVERLINKING " Alaskan Inupiatun " is not a good idea and the language was already linked so I changed it to " that spoken by the Inupiat of Alaska " Breaks apart the two links and links the people.
 * I removed two links from the see also section and put them in the body of the article, Kangiryuarmiutun and Siglitun are the other two, of the Inuit language ". The third link should have probably used the s.
 * Iñupiaq was already linked.
 * The animals were changed to avoid disambiguations. Also reindeer is for the European/Asian animal. Caribou is the North American one and muskox is one word.
 * The external link had been moved into the article and was being used as a reference.

So what exactly was the problem with these edits. Based on this and the other two, Talk:Kangiryuarmiutun and Talk:Inuinnaqtun, it looks petty and as if it was done out of spite. CBWeather, Talk, Seal meat for supper? 12:27, 13 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Why would you say that someone reverting your admitted error (first line above) was being petty? I didn't give an edit summary for every article, but come on, it was the same error, and could thus be reasonably expected to be the same reason, for each of them. I'm also not going to participate in three separate talk-page discussions for one thing. — kwami (talk) 20:43, 13 April 2014 (UTC)


 * You had several options available. You could have come to my talk page and told me what an idiot I was. You could have fixed it and used an edit summary telling me what an idiot I was. However, you choose to revert, with either a cryptic edit summary or none at all. I'd also point out that in the Kangiryuarmiutun I didn't remove the line but corrected it.

In Alaska and Canada: the name caribou is for wild Rangifer tarandus (subspecies: Rangifer tarandus granti and its native subspecies of Alaska-Yukon) and the name reindeer is for semi-domesticated Rangifer tarandus (subspecies: Rangifer tarandus tarandus and its alien subspecies of Alaska-Yukon from Scandinavia). But both are sometimes confused. Alaskan Iñupiaq (Iñupiatun) qunŋiq and Canadian Iñupiaq (Uummarmiutun) qun’ngiq for "semi-domesticated Rangifer tarandus" (= reindeer ≠ caribou). The wild subspecies are Rangifer tarandus granti and the Iñupiaq name is tuttu (= caribou ≠ reindeer). The qunŋiq (domestic reindeer) is not tuttu (wild caribou). CBWeather and Kwami, excuse me! I've added to the page. --Kmoksy (talk) 21:14, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
