[edit] Image

By the way, that image is of the Rendille, a Somali and Oromo-related group, whom I would think would carry high numbers of E3b lineages (the Borana, e.g. have around 80%), so you may not want to use them. — ዮም | (Yom) | Talk • contribs • Ethiopia 19:38, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Well it just shows the aburdity of trying to define race by the Y chromosome. You have to look at total genetic distance.

[edit] Migration

Hello there. I wanted to ask about what you stated on Yom's talk page regarding Ethiopians being mixed with a foreign people. I also believe that this occured and have been in many debates with Yom about this. I truly disagree with his strict afrocentrist ideas that Ethiopians are 100% Indigenous peoples. However, I am curious, who were these foreign immigrants. To me its seems it was the Sabeans? Where were the immigrants mainly from in your opinion. Cluckbang 16:46, 7 October 2006 (UTC)Cluckbang

This article gives a good overview of scientists who've looked into the raical status of Ethiopians[[1]]

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Shows oprah.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Shows oprah.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

[edit] Regarding Controversy over Jewish identity

You can't just copy the article, you need to move it. Where is the original article? -- ReyBrujo 17:28, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Never mind, I found it. Please go to Wikipedia:Requested moves to request a move from Who is a Jew? to Controversy over Jewish identity. Thanks. -- ReyBrujo 17:31, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your additions to the Craniofacial Race article

All your additions to the craniofacial race article. have been genetic views on race which most properly belong in the Genetic views on race or Human genetic variation articles. Craniofacial races are conceived from craniofacial measurements of the skull. These are separate concepts. --Dark Tichondrias 03:51, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the tip.

I had a feeling that someone who screeded as much as that Zaph-whatever would have some sleeper accounts ready. It's gone just as soon as I can get to it. Thank you for leting me know. This site is nuts enough without someone as unhinged as him running roughshod over potentially touchy subjects. - Lucky 6.9 21:59, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Beautifulblackwoman.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Beautifulblackwoman.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Strothra 15:15, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] blasian genetics

"Do you even know what a Blasian is? A Blasian is just another name for the mid point between Orientals and blacks. The source doesn't have to use the exact same terms we use. That's plagarism" <-- Nobody is suggesting that plagiarism is the solution. The basic claim being made is that there is a published genetic analysis to support a specific claim about the genetics of "blasians". I am asking for a citation to a source that presents such an analysis. I am skeptical that there is any such scientific analysis. I've searched the published literature and "blasian" does not seem to be a term that has any use within the scientific community. Wikipedias cannot invent scientific conclusions, we can only report on conclusions that have been previously published in reliable sources. --JWSchmidt 00:59, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

"the article provides a link to Sforza's gentic chart which clearly shows the genetic distance between blacks and orientals and black and whites, and the mid point between blacks and orientals is almost as distant from blacks as whites are from blacks on the chart" <-- That is your interpretation. The figure makes no mention of orientals, blacks, whites or blasians. Wikipedia cannot use your interpretation and pass it off as science. --JWSchmidt 02:22, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits to Black people

Your edits to the intro of Black people beg the question of what "Black people" actually means by defining it to mean people of (biologically recent) African ancestry. A central point of the article is that there is no generally accepted consensus about what "Black people" means, and by defining it in the intro of the article, you either create a circular argument, or much of the article would have to be deleted, as the discussion of other concepts of Black people would necessarily be moot. -- The Anome 18:20, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. At any rate please do not do more than three reverts in a 24h period. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you.—Řÿūłóñģ (竜龍)

Whatdoyou, I think you're right to try to separate the issues of "Black" and "African", but I think you're approaching it the wrong way. A great deal of the problem with this article is that many contributors are Americans for whom "Black" and "African" are synonymous, something which is not true elsewhere. Can I suggest the creation of an article African people, instead? The term "Black people" is used in many other situations not involving people of African descent, for example in Latin America. Which is rather the whole point of the Black people article. -- The Anome 18:31, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] African people

I see that you have redirected African people to Blacks. It might come as a surprise to the Libyans, Tunisians, Moroccans, and, in particular, the Berbers, who are an African indigenous people, that they are not African. -- The Anome 19:24, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Don't forget about Egypt. --Strothra 19:32, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
