Romani Mythology page
Hello One question, I see you changed the name of the page romani mythology to romani folklore, why? We Roma don't all have the same folklore, so the name of the mythology page was a better choice. If you are a rom yourself, you know that there is not a single folklore or tradition that applies to all different roma groups.

 * I changed the title to match the content of article itself since the article wasn't about mythology; if I remember rightly, I stated as much in the edit summary when I changed it. I don't think the term "folklore" implies uniformity. For example, the phrase "European folklore" doesn't implies a single uniform tradition across all of Europe, yet it's still a category and topic that can be meaningfully discussed. You could say the same more narrowly for most European nations. eg. "Italian folklore" isn't uniform, it has variation between regions and ethnic groups, etc. Same for "Russian folklore", "French folklore", etc. If anything the term "mythology" implies unity far more than "folklore" does; to talk about "Romani mythology" would suggest a shared mythological narrative, implying a single common tradition among Roma groups, but "folklore" does not imply any of this.

Hello, I see You have knowledge of roma articles, so i thought you could help protect roma articles more. Unfortunately there are a lot of people at work who have no idea about the various roma groups and change or delete articles about roma.
