Hello, I'm Thesavagenorwegian. I noticed that you recently removed content from Romani people without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ''Hey there, you removed the part of the header of Romani people article that explains what terms link to this article. Just a bit further down the page it explains that it those terms are indeed considered slurs. Also, your edit broke the page a little bit. Please let me know if you have any questions.''

 * There was a racial slur in the page, apologizes for not mentioning why. 45.49.38.135 (talk) 21:42, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not censored. The word Gypsy is used on all sorts of pages and in all sorts of contexts. On Romani people, the deleted content was describing which words redirect to this page. Without that, someone typing in Gypsy, looking for a song, program, person, location, etc. with that name won't be made aware of the disambiguation page or why they were redirected to Romani People instead. The goal here is education. The term is used over 60 times on Romani people, in contrast with the many hundreds of times Roma/Romani is used. Point being, the term gypsy is not disallowed, but needs context each time it's used.  The Savage  Norwegian  22:03, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
