Genetics for ethnic groups RfC

For editors interested, there's an RfC currently being held: Should sections on genetics be removed from pages on ethnic groups?. Cheers! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 01:51, 30 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It should either be removed or updated. The information is over 10 years old and quite dated now since new genetic sequencing tools have been used.--63.145.59.74 (talk) 20:55, 31 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

^Agreed. The LGM Theory has been scientifically debunked. Can a certified geneticist revise this?--130.212.79.197 (talk) 00:00, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This genetics section is really bad. It's all from 2003 back when population history was inferred from Y-chromosomes. If no one wants to rewrite it based on current science, it should be removed. It's better not to have a genetic section than to present false information. People reading this might not know about recent advances in ancient dna. 2600:1702:890:73F0:D31:BFAA:E601:A367 (talk) 17:20, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Care to try a hand at rewriting it? I don't know enough about the subject, but if you do, be bold and give it a shot. ~Anachronist (talk) 17:43, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Tito

Let's best continue the discussion here: Before adopting Pan-Slavism Broz initially identified as a Croat, per refs 20-22 in his article, so certainly it makes sense to acknowledge that. Secondly, while he was of both Croatian and Slovenian origin, the Croatian part is what's relevant here as the article is about -- Croats. Besides, one doesn't need to have a 100% homogenous origin to identify as part of an ethnicity. Thirdly, please remain WP:CIVIL and don't call other editors' good faith and informed contributions "mind-boggling", "dubious", etc. Daß Wölf 05:13, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Category:Slavic countries and territories

It is currently being proposed that Category:Slavic countries and territories be deleted. This article is related to that category. The relevant discussion is located at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2020 January 8#Countries and territories by language family. The discussion would benefit from input from editors with a knowledge of and interest in Croats. Krakkos (talk) 11:16, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Croats and Serbs

Respected everyone, I am of the opinion that Croats and Serbs are natives of the Balkans and that there is good literature, references, notes and sources and that Serbs and Croats, except the southern Slavs were Illyrians, and also that Serbs are Vinci and Croats Vučedol. Considering a video entitled "Arrival of Serbs and Croats and the Siege of Constantinople in 626 - The Immigration of Slavs to the Balkans" by the author of the Serbian Battle, I think we are. I have said or will say the same on hr.wiki and en.wiki. Also, apart from being Slavs, Illyrians and Vučedolci (Serbs are Illyrian as well, but Vinci) we are also a Mediterranean race as we are together with Serbs a Dinaric race. With respect, Uspjeh je ključ života (talk) 22:14, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your opinion is less than useless. We go by Reliable Sources. The Slavs arrived in the Balkans in the 6th century, later communalizing into their separate tribes - Serbs, Croats, etc. This is undisputed fact. 50.111.55.190 (talk) 13:14, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Joseph Broz Tito image should be removed

The Tito article says he is slovene-croat (but himself considers ethnic Yugoslav - or south slavic), so i recomend to put in the description that he is slovene-croat, or remove the image John L. Booth (talk) 21:51, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

seven year old tag unaddressed

Both the language used in legal texts and that used in Glagolitic literature gradually came under the influence of the vernacular, which considerably affected its phonological, morphological and lexical systems. From the 14th and the 15th centuries, both secular and religious songs at church festivals were composed in the vernacular.<-- statement tagged in 2015 - will the editor who added this please supply a reference? Moved to the TP in the meantime. 50.111.55.190 (talk) 18:18, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
