BUR #3836 has been rejected.

create alias straight-arm_salute -> roman_salute
create alias nazi_salute -> roman_salute

I had to google synonyms of "roman salute" and check the wiki page for salute to find how danbooru calls this.

First result on google for our name is the wikipedia page for roman salute.

EDIT: The bulk update request #3836 (forum #175343) has been rejected by @evazion.

I'd support aliasing those to straight-arm_salute instead as it is broader in meaning and doesn't potentially carry specifics on how the salute is done (such as angle of the salute). Furthermore I'd rather not associate a specific origin with the salute, as even wikipedia states "However, no Roman text gives this description, and the Roman works of art that display salutational gestures bear little resemblance to the modern Roman salute."

edit: There is more than just the roman salute and fascist derivative. For example the Bellamy salute, which has the palm upwards unlike the roman or nazi salutes which has the palm downward. This is why I'd rather keep a broader "straight-arm" salute for any derivative of the basic arm-out salutes.
