Have a look

Have a look at the current version [1] as compared to this one. Thanks. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 10:48, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

From a brief look, Feldman et al. doesn't seem to support "along with Western Hunter Gatherers (WHG), Eastern Hunter Gatherers (EHG) and Western Steppe Herders (WSH)", but it does say Anatolian Early Farmers are the "largest ancestral component in present-day Europeans" but it's pretty much okay. I'd just say what Feldman says probably, since the article is about AHGs, but there isn't really a problem with it apart from other excess ancestry sources missing eg CHG.

"minor gene flow from Iranian/Caucasus and Levantine sources" is fine, might want to distinguish Aceramic and Ceramic Farmers here?

I'm not sure that the domestic animal stuff is necessary background info.

"the relationship of AHG with WHG and Natufian hunter-gatherers is explained by the fact that these populations had a significant contribution from hunter-gatherers associated with the Upper Paleolithic of the Caucasus." - Not sure if this is made explicit in prose in Allentoft et al. I'll take a look at it later.

"The AHG diverged from Caucasus hunter-gatherer around 25,000 years ago." I think Marchi 2022 put this at like 16kya

I'll take a better look later if I get a chance. Is anything particularly bothering you about the changes? Tewdar 11:42, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of ANE by the IP and rationale provided by them seemed POV to me. Thanks for the explanation. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 11:54, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

well, the ANE contribution to present day Europeans is indirect, via WSH (and excess EHG in part) so that's basically an improvement. it might be better to just paraphrase Feldman however. Tewdar 11:59, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Tewdar, you also might want to have look at Iranian hunter-gatherers. Wikiuser1314 has done a nice job here, especially in terms of structure and readability. As far as I can see, Fylindfotberserk already has taken notice of it. I especially like the terse "§Europe" section, which I'm sure will make the Teheran IP (who always comments on IE-related pages) cry 😁 –Austronesier (talk) 11:19, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nice, IHG and CHG are actually next on my list for the Pleistocene draft article. I'm trying to decide whether to give them their own sections or not. I'm leaning 'split' 😊 Tewdar 12:01, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Thank you for saying what needed to be said in your userpage. 2601:152:300:F8AE:6DB4:2FD6:16C:928D (talk) 16:17, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What? About Wikipedia? 😂 Tewdar 19:37, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes 👍 2601:152:300:F8AE:6DB4:2FD6:16C:928D (talk) 20:24, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Lol 😂 Tewdar 21:13, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

How's it going?

Hey! I just thought I'd pop over and say hello, because we only ever seem to interact on the talk page of the Cornwall article and we're usually disagreeing with each other. Despite that, I reckon you're probably pretty decent and thought it might be a good idea to tell you so. A.D.Hope (talk) 17:42, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

😂 thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it... I probably can come across as a bit of a dick when I'm talking about my homeland so I'm actually very impressed with your kind gesture here... you seem like a decent chap too, maybe one day we'll find a page to edit together that doesn't get me quite so emotional! Tewdar 18:23, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I could feel us drifting into animosity and it seemed silly to let that happen. I find that talk page discussions don't really encourage friendliness, but if you step away and just have a normal chat it usually sorts things out. If I'm not editing the county articles I'm usually working on an historic house or church or something, so I don't know if we overlap that much, but I certainly wouldn't object to working together!

On the topic of counties, I must admit I'm a bit tired of the overall flag discussion as it's been rumbling on for while, but I have been looking at alternative images for Cornwall and I wondered what you thought of this? I don't want to pre-empt any future discussion, but we could do with having a picture that includes one of Cornwall's major towns and Redruth does happen to fly the flag from its clock tower often. I'd like it if the picture was sunnier and the flag a bit brighter, but in principle do you think something along those lines could work as a compromise? A.D.Hope (talk) 18:34, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well, thanks for clearing the air 🙂 I don't have a lot of time here, but a picture of a town building flying a flag sounds ideal to me... I'll see if i can make or obtain anything better, but a photo like that one would be fine I think... all the best, sorry for being a grumpy asshole🙂 Tewdar 18:44, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh amazing! There'd have to be a proper talk page discussion before any change, but I'm glad you like it. And there's no need to apologise, I totally get why you're so enthusiastic about Cornwall and I'm sure we'll work well together on the article in the future.
