Hi Helen, I just read through the discussion and its interesting for me so far. Many support the idea of changing to San people.
Well, I think it doesn't _really_ matter whether its 'San people' or 'bushmen'. Though the name 'bushman' might sound completely inappropriate ( or even perhaps insulting), I think content on the page is what really needs to be improved. Personally, I've never known them to be San people (until today) and I'm sure many people ( perhaps over 70% of the world ) know such people as bushmen. Currently, the article 'San people' redirects to 'Bushmen' which I see it to be same. (Changing the title will just make the redirection inverse) If the word 'bushmen' its inappropriate, then I guess it shouldn't be mentioned even in the article, even if the title is changed to 'San people' Rexford | Africa Center | wikiafrica.net | sent from Tab On Jan 16, 2014 10:12 AM, "Helen Riding" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, this is my first mailing to this list so I hope it's appropriate. > > I have proposed a move from the "Bushmen" Wikipedia article title to "San > people".
