**Good idea. They were speedied all over the place ''mostly'' by User {{user|Mayumashu}} with the help of User {{user|Cyde}}. They have been notified of the DRV , and Users {{user|Good Olfactory}} also knows where some of the skeletons are all hidden and has been notified , and {{user|Explicit}} and hopefully they will show what they did. They hold the keys to this realm, and in spite of no consensus for such an important set of changes, they went ahead with this massive overhaul that has created more problems than it purports to "solve". ] (]) 09:00, 28 May 2010 (UTC) **Good idea.

* '''Overturn''', per IZAK. As IZAK points out, these different category labels convey quite different meanings, and some discussion is required before such a change. Frankly, I'm not sure which is better, because a label like "Mexican American" implies to me a first-generation immigrant, whereas "American of Mexican Descent" seems more inclusive of subsequent generations. In any event, someone needs to make a convincing argument as to which system provides the better taxonomy for member articles. —] (]) 09:33, 28 May 2010 (UTC) * '''Overturn''', per IZAK.
