Requesting edit to the item Bog Trotter. A term used in the 19th C by Irish peasantry to describe the hated bog ranger, who enforced on behalf of the Estate the fees demanded by the landlord for the privilege of cutting turf for fuel. Ref: https://mural.maynoothuniversity.ie/5594/1/PD_Colonial.pdf KynosCavan (talk) 18:13, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

What makes you think that's an ethnic slur? M.Bitton (talk) 18:51, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

A bog trotter, or bog bailiff, was commonly an Irish agent of a British landlord. The term became a generalised slur against anyone Irish, when used by a British person especially an agent of the British State. It is listed currently as an ethnic slur. I'm just giving the background to it. KynosCavan (talk) 00:41, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

In short:

Change …Jan Kees (‘John Cheese’). into …Jan Kees, two very common Dutch first names.

Explanation:

Under the following headers:

Individual nationalities and/or ethnicities // North and South American nationalities // Americans // Yankee, Yank

it states at the end that Yankee is possibly from Dutch Jan Kees (‘John Cheese’). This translation in brackets is incorrect. Both Jan and Kees are very common Dutch first names. The Dutch word for cheese is ‘kaas’ not ‘kees’.

However Dutch are known for cheese and often called a cheese head (‘kaaskop’) so maybe you are onto a new theory here with this, if yankee would be a contraction of ‘Jan’ and ‘kaas’. But such a theory is completely unfounded i presume. 2001:1C03:1084:DC00:9DDC:6106:921:3EF (talk) 18:56, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

Not done. The citation explains/claims that "Jan Kees" is a variation of "Jan Kaas" rendered in English as "John Cheese". It is one of many suggested origins of "Yankee". Richard-of-Earth (talk) 05:26, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
