Darkinung pages as at Dec 2019
edit- Darkinung redirects to Darkinung people (Kwami Feb 2019), prev. to Darkinjung since 2006.
- Darkinjung used to be about the people, was changed in 2011 by an IP-editor to be about the land council for a different geographical area. It has the edit history for both.
- Darkinyung is the AIATSIS spelling. It redirects to Darkinjung language, not people. Was pointed to Darkinyung language, but a bot removed the double redirect.
- Darkiñung, Darkinjang, and Darkinoong still redirect to Darkinjung, and haven't changed since 2006.
- Darkinung language, Darkinyung language, and Darkiñung language all redirect to Darkinjung language, and all have no changes since creation in 2006.
- Darkinjung people redirects (move by sphilbrick 2014) to Darkinjung, which is now about the land council; Darkinung people is a separate stub, created 2017; Darkinyung people and Darkiñung people pages don't exist.
- Darkinjung Land Council or Darkinjung Local Aboriginal Land Council doesn't yet exist.
- Special:PrefixIndex/Darkin also reveals Darkinjang language, Darkinoong language. All redirects, unchanged since 2006.
- The nav box has both Darkinung and Darkinjung.
Spelling
editKwamikagami has proposed that we use AIATSIS spelling for aboriginal groups. In the absence of any other official orthography, and with no clearly predominant common name, I plan to boldly move Darkinung people to Darkinyung people. I do note that Ford (2010) prefers spelling Darkiñung, but don't feel his authority trumps AIATSIS right now. Luckily Darkinyung people doesn't yet exist and I can do the move without summoning an admin. Pelagic (talk) 17:45, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
- See Wikipedia:WikiProject Languages/Confirmed language names at AIATSIS at S65, but contrast List of Australian Aboriginal group names which follows Tindale's spelling Darkinjung with a 'j'. Pelagic (talk) 17:53, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
@Pelagic: Should the other be moved to Darkinjung Land Council? It's a bit confusing to have otherwise identical names that differ only by an arbitrary orthographic choice. — kwami (talk) 06:13, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
