Native American categories for Beyonce Knowles

edit

  Hi welcome to wikipedia Surelyhuman. Myself and other editors have become concerned with your constant removal of the Native American categories in the Beyonce article see here [1]. The categories are not solely for people whom are of full descent but also of partial descent as well and please keep in mind that if we have to remove the Native American categories than the African American categories would have to be removed as well because she is not of full descent. Have a good day.Mcelite (talk) 20:02, 10 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Let me clear things up for you. I created those categories and that are not solely for people of full descent but of partial descent as well. The categories do not exclude people of partial hertiage. The categories create diversity for wikipedia and to remove the categories just because in your opinion you feel that she doesn't belong is biased and unwikipedian. Administrators will be notified if you continue to remove the categories and he has concerned me and other editors that you are willing to remove those categories and not remove the African American ones as well since she is not of full descent.Mcelite (talk) 07:02, 14 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Ok by blood she of Native descent and African American. You contradict yourself by saying she's just African American when she isn't. She's multiracial and as an American I do find it offensive that you clearly do have a bias towards who you think deserves to be under the categories. Like I said since she isn't of full African American descent then those categories such as African American singers would have to be removed as well but I"m against that. You're assumption that I put down Native American categories on any African American article is insulting. I've put alot of hard work finding reliable sources on people who clearly are not just African American such as: Della Reese and Ludacris and many others because it's the truth. How can you say she's African American but not Native American even by looks alone she clearly has native traits that you can't get biologically from Africa.Mcelite (talk) 20:06, 16 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

If you carry on removing sourced and verifiable categories frrom Beyoncé Knowles, I will block you from editing. If you have worries about the source(s) or the categories as they stand, please bring them up on the talk page instead. Gwen Gale (talk) 22:22, 16 December 2009 (UTC)Reply


So you have a problem with Ludacris being of native blood but not Della Reese? It sounds more to me like you're threatened by this. I'm not taking away from people's African American heritage that's what it seems to me that u are implying.Mcelite (talk) 16:13, 17 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
