Pejorative alternate names
Your listing indicates that the names "Lapp" and "Skolt Lappish" are pejorative, but I would also recommend flagging the names "Russian Lapp" and "Lopar" as pejorative for the same reasons. "Russian Lapp" of course simply re-uses the word "Lapp", which you have already tagged as pejorative. "Lopar" is uncommon in English and comes from the Russian word лопарь, which even in Russian is rather dated, and again means "Lapp" (and is not specific to Skolt Saami). All of these terms (Lapp, Skolt Lappish, Russian Lapp, Lopar) are pejorative.
