[edit] midget?

Why does this article use the word "midget"? Is there a reason not to change it to "dwarf" or "little person", except where "midget" is part of a proper noun? --Allen 04:13, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Because in the wrestling world, that's what they're called, midget wrestlers. Pro wrestling is politically incorrect in any number of ways, don't let it bother you. Wasted Time R 11:41, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
Can we at least change the second instance of "midget" in the first sentence (the one that's wikilinked) to [[dwarfism|dwarf]]? When we say "midget wrestler" I can sort of justify that in my mind as a proper noun sort of thing that just doesn't happen to be capitalized. But when we say "A midget wrestler is a midget...", it seems like that second "midget" is our language, rather than an echo of the language people use in the world of "midget wrestling". --Allen 20:34, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
No response; so I've made the change. --Allen 04:32, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
