Move

This page should be moved to Welsh Romani language. No other Romani language page uses a dash. -- Al™ 05:00, 21 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Uncited material and use of Kā̊lē over Kale

Latest comment: 10 months ago5 comments3 people in discussion

Boldly, but reluctantly, reverted the wide addition of uncited material added to this article recently as of this version. Happy for it to be re-added but with sources.

In terms of the name of the people, better we are consistent and neutral by merely using the WP:COMMONNAME as used by its title Kale (Welsh Roma) rather than Kā̊lē which was added here a few weeks ago. Of course if a move discussion there wants to use Kā̊lē with proof, happy for that to then apply to other articles. The use of "proper ethnonym" seems like a WP:RGW argument, we use just what most sources use, not only specific ones.

I appreciate you doing this. I haven't gotten around to reporting the issues surrounding the Romani pages to WP:ANI yet due to being busy IRL. Albeit bold, I support this extensive revision, because it would be difficult to properly clean up the page with as much content as was added before. There are still a lot of pages that need to be cleaned up, but this is a start.

On the topic of the term Kā̊lē it is evident that it's taken from an outdated source (1926, according to this edit summary) that doesn't reflect the current orthography, so I don't expect any support for that move and would oppose it myself. Alexeji (talk) 20:19, 9 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

@Alexeji What source would you use? RomaniResearcher (talk) 08:00, 10 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

The sources were do be added this week. I've also been very busy IRL hence my absence. RomaniResearcher (talk) 08:02, 10 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

WP:BURDEN, if you add the content it is your responsibility to add citations. I gave some time with the tags. Once again, happy for you to re-add it with citations. Dank Jae 19:57, 10 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
