[edit] Quick rants

• In my disambiguating Native Americans, I've seen much use of phrases of the form, "TribeName Native American," with links to both the tribe's article, and the Native Americans dab page. I believe this to be a subtle example of systemic bias. In standard English, one would not write "German European" or "Irish European". If you are here because of a link in an edit summary, that is why I completely removed "Native American" from the article in question.

If a user does not know where "TribeName" existed/exists or their history, a quick click of that link should provide that information.

• I hate list pages. I like categories. I response to these feelings, I refuse to edit list pages, effective 28 May 2006, in hopes they will atrophy.
