:The term is in use, like it or not. Do you want to help me write about the various Eskimo tribes? If not, would you at least explain who uses the term "Eskimo" and who objects to the term? --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 12:28, 10 November 2008 (EST)

::No one is denying the term is in use.  What I am saying is that the link is no longer correct.  "Eskimo" is not at teh same level as "Inuit" and "Aleut" because it is not a tribal name. I understand this might be confusing to readers, and we can work to make it less so, that it the point of a good multi-editor contributed article like this.  I am trying not to be rude or say "you are wrong", but the stance I see coming from you is one that isn't represented by the Inuit people themselves, nor by their own web pages (and yes, they have webpages. grins). But yes, it will take work and i would love to help you make the article accurate.--[[User:JeanJacques|JeanJacques]] 12:45, 10 November 2008 (EST)

Let's talk more at [[talk:Eskimo]], where another writer suggested that [[Inuit]] are a subset of [[Eskimo]]. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 12:49, 10 November 2008 (EST)
