[edit] Derogatory term in bibliography

Does anyone know why this now-removed word was there to begin with? If it is part of a book title or something, it should be restored, but if not then it should be replaced with the proper names Deg Hit'an for the people and Deg Xinag for the language. -Quickmythril (talk) 12:45, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

That is the name of the article, so it cant be removed. Actually, you shouldnt just remove this name as you have been doing as it is very prevalent in the anthropological literature. You should, of course, note that the name is dispreferred by tribal members. – ishwar  (speak) 19:31, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

I live in Alaska, and have been talking with different Deg Hit'an people, and the general consensus is to NOT have the word listed as an alternative name, but only that when that name is specifically searched, then they would have the used informed of the peoples' desire not to use it. It's like saying we should write (also known by the derogatory name Nigger) on the page for African American. Please do not revert my edits again without good cause. -Quickmythril (talk) 21:20, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
