Welcome
I wasn't sure if I should reply on your page. If this is bad Wiki etiquette, just delete the next couple of lines.
- Dear Lastexpofan, I have seen that you changed some sentence in "genetic studies on jews". I would like to have your opinion about an argument I have with Jayjg about the possibility of some Khazar origin of Ashkenazim Talk:Genetic studies on Jews. We go round in circle and I think we need an external point of view. Could you tell if this kind of sentence could be added in the lead: "chromosomes in Ashkenazim may represent vestiges of the mysterious Khazars"?--Boutboul (talk) 07:15, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- By the way why did you remove the extract from D. Goldstein ?--Boutboul (talk) 07:15, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Do you mean "And there is that troubling Y chromosome that is so common in the ashkenazi Levites but seemingly nowhere else to be found. I can not claim the evidence proves a Khazari connection.
But it does raise the possibility, I confess that, although I can not prove it yet, the idea does now seem to me plausible, if not likely?" I removed that because it was in a note and seemed unsourced, but if it's from a source I'm fine with it.
- I don't know if I could get involved in that discussion between you and JayJG because I'm really busy right now, but maybe I could get involved later.--Lastexpofan (talk) 03:21, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Michael, thanks for the message. I am a little uncomfortable with the deletion, but I think I can accept it. On the other hand if you also feel uncomfortable with it, I think in principle we should look for a compromise sentence? Can you tell me your position? Is it the same? I am not 100% clear on what you think.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 12:30, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Conversion table for Y chromosome haplogroups is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Conversion table for Y chromosome haplogroups until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Dougweller (talk) 13:59, 25 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

| Bonjour cher monsieur, je suis un ex directeur de recherche à l'INRAE qui écrit un ouvrage et aimerait discuter avec vous de la génétique des populations juives, sachant que vous êtes le principal contributeur de l'artice Wikipédia concernant ce sujet.

- Bonjour,
- Désolé pour ma réponse tardive, je viens de voir votre message. Je serai ravis de discuter avec vous mais je tiens à signaler que je n'ai aucune compétence dans le domaine mis à part le fait d'avoir pris le temps de lire les très nombreux articles sur le sujet.
- Cordialement,

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Fondation Maeght, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Calder. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Bonjour! I have reviewed many of your edits to the History of the Jews in Tunisia article and I think it's been phenomenally improved. It is currently classified as Start-class, but I think it is at least a B, if not an A. I would be happy to help you revise it further (more on editing what is already there than adding new material) and nominating it for Good article status. What do you think of this? I would definitely like to add more references that are direct rather than an sfn because I find those easier to review as a reader. All the best and happy holidays, Kazamzam (talk) 17:43, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you so much for your kind message. There is still a lot of work to do, and I will continue improving the article in the coming days. I truly appreciate your comments and revisions. I would be very happy if my contribution helped in nominating it for Good Article status. Michael Boutboul (talk) 21:31, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Boutboul - of course! I will do my best as well, and if you have any thoughts, comments, or concerns, I am happy to discuss. Please be sure to ping me (using the @ symbol) so that I will be alerted to your reply when it's on your talkpage (good Wikietiquette!). Kazamzam (talk) 23:48, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Boutboul - something important to note: the Jewish Virtual Library is not considered a reliable source per the list used as a general guideline. It's okay to mention some of their claims as long as they are backed up by other references but please keep this in mind going forward. We're making progress nevertheless! Kazamzam (talk) 00:34, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Kazamzam, I didn't know it, I checked and it is more related to ARBPIA but anyway, there is noJewish Virtual Library Michael Boutboul (talk) 15:26, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Kazamzam, what could we do to improve it a little bit more? Michael Boutboul (talk) 15:11, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- @Boutboul - sorry for the delayed response! I will take a look and get back to you later today! Kazamzam (talk) 11:46, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- @Boutboul - This is looking good! My concerns so far are the needs for additional/better citations, removing any subjective language, removing overlinking, and making sure that everything being discussed is specific to the Jews of Tunisia rather than the Jews of the Maghreb more broadly. For example, the discussion about the conversion of the Berber tribes...is it relevant? Does it need to be stated? How do we know that it's specific to Tunisia? These are things that could be removed to make the article's information more clear and specific. Let me know what you think! Kazamzam (talk) 19:37, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
