External links

There is a broken Dmoz link in external links -- (WT-en) repayne 23:19, 27 Aug 2005 (EDT)

It shows up in the left-side nav bar under "other languages". -- (WT-en) Wrh2 23:47, 27 Aug 2005 (EDT)

I see it, now. -- (WT-en) repayne 00:53, 28 Aug 2005 (EDT)

Whoops! Sorry Repayne -- I didn't see your talk comment before I fixed the Wikipedia link. -- (WT-en) Colin 23:59, 27 Aug 2005 (EDT)

That's interesting, but how is the english wikipedia site a different language? Obviously, I'm missing something (that happens a lot.) -- (WT-en) repayne 00:53, 28 Aug 2005 (EDT)

Yeah, that's a crummy title. The ability to stick certain links there is a feature of the software. The original purpose of this feature was to enable Wikipedia to point to other language versions of Wikipedia. We also use the same feature to point to other language versions of Wikivoyage. But we also use it to point to Dmoz and Wikipedia... the title of the box should probably be changed to reflect this, but it'd be hard to get a short title that made sense... -- (WT-en) Colin 00:58, 28 Aug 2005 (EDT)

Preferred terminology

How do the Indigenous peoples of the U.S. prefer to be described? Native American? American Indian? Something else? Is "Indians" still used, as it is in this article? Natives? Ground Zero (talk) 09:52, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

I am not Native, but on DailyKos, there's been a lot of discussion of this, and what the Native folks including long-time activists like Meteor Blades say is that all of the above are fine. I had thought that "Indian" without "American" before it would be offensive, but no, it isn't. Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:46, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

Thanks. Just want to make sure we're not offending. Ground Zero (talk) 20:32, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

Which we definitely should avoid doing. It's interesting how different the U.S. and Canada are in this respect. I like the Canadian expression, "First Nations", but "Indian Country" is used by Native Americans and others without any offense here in the U.S. Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:40, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
