Hello, I'm StephenMacky1. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions&#32;to Romani people have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks.

 * Thanks for letting me know, using Romani People is inappropriate actually, many gypsies are proud of their origin and stripping them of that by creating confusing names is something most gypsies themselves do not want. You, along with the entire batch of people supporting the use of such words contribute massively to the depersonalization of gypsies and, also, contribute to confusion in general. 88.18.240.223 (talk) 12:45, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Anon, articles on Wikipedia are based on reliable sources. The term you insist on using is considered offensive by some. If you have noticed, the article in question contains the other names and/or designations, but "Romani" appears to be the common name in English. Then there's also the Names of the Romani people article, which you can check out for more information. If you insist on using the term, you'll need to make a good case at the article's talk page, based on reliable sources. Names of ethnic groups in English are based on reliable sources and consensus.
