I'd like to point out that there are multiple unresolved concerns presented at [[User talk:Kogoro/8#Template:MoveInfobox]].

== Usage of the word "native" == | |||
Hello. I noticed that you and the other chiefs of staff have ruled that the term "natives" should absolutely not be used on the "Biology" section of the {{p|Raichu}} article, and I was redirected to you by {{U|Abcboy}} for further discussion on the matter. It was an issue that {{U|PardescanSlowbro}} raised out of concerns that the word is inherently offensive and incidentally racist to people of indigenous descent, a viewpoint that I and {{U|Force Fire}} highly disagreed with because the word was being used in an entirely non-offensive context. I'm not going to argue against your ruling because you all apparently reached this ruling with a reasoning that had nothing to do with concerns of incidental racism. But I am now curious as to whether your ruling will apply to all other articles that use the word "native(s)" in some way or form, or even phrases like "native to" or something along those lines. I hope it won't, because I feel doing so would be a silly overreaction, but I digress. | |||
Hope to hear from you about the matter soon. Thanks! [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 05:10, 3 July 2018 (UTC) | |||
