Fair use rationale for Image:Real.jpg

Image:Real.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation 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.

Please!

Im a canarian, there are some mistakes in article, like the obsolete word "aboriginal" actually, scientist and history comunity, use the objetive term "pre-colonial population".

The castillians (or europeans in general) do not absorbed guanche population, guanches were the most of the population, then they "genetically" absorbed europeans populations. And high class didnt mix whit guanches (lower class) exepct whit guanche nobles that were favored before conquest.

AND PLEASE! Dont let spaniards SCOPE this article, they are our metropoli, then they will wrote ever against or real history, a history that world cant see that we are not spaniards. They are a censorers, like good colonialists. Let do this article by english comunity, not spaniards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.155.49.106 (talk) 09:17, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is a full-crazy article

Canarians, old canarians (guanches as you prefer) were the base population of canary islands after conquest, there are no doubt of this, is historically and scientists proved. I will fix this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tinerfe (talk • contribs) 16:54, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Canarians, Guanches and Andalusians

Hello. I have some books which say that today's Canarian people descent from the Andalusians in Spain. They say that ancient Guanches were tall, thin, blonde people and blue-eyed. Thus they cannot be today's Canarians ancestors. I dont know if this is true, but my books say that Canarians come from the conquerors Spaniards, most of them being Andalusians.

Add Dominicans in related ethnic groups

In the Spanish version of the article, Dominicans people are in related ethnic gruop with Canarian people, because the culture is similar and their dialect is from de Canaria Spanish.In adition many dominicans are descendents of Canarian, like "White Dominicans" and a high populartion of mixed dominicans. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amigoleal (talk • contribs) 18:50, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Madeirans related ethnic group

I added madeirans to the related groups because they are neighbors of canarians and both have similar genetic makeup (iberian, southern european countries and north africa). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Correctman (talk • contribs) 00:29, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I thought that Madeira was uninhabited when the Portuguese arrived. Was I wrong? --Jotamar (talk) 17:17, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You are right Jotamar. Madeirans have no native guanche ancestry, since they islands were uninhabited prior to portuguese arrival, although they may have picked up african ancestry from elsewhere (as is the case for other - particularly southern portuguese). There is no direct link between canary islanders and madeirans.Asilah1981 (talk) 19:41, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Puerto Ricans??

Considering over half of Puerto Rico has Canarian descent, should they be included in the Notables section? Wouldn't it be better to have people BORN in the Canary Islands?Asilah1981 (talk) 12:16, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Jose Toledo

One of the entries in the Notable Canarians section is "Jose Toledo, model and TV host". However, his name links to an article for a US federal judge named Jose Victor Toledo, who lived from 1931-1980 and whose article has no mention of modelling or TV hosting. It seems like the entry is referring to this woman, who doesn't appear to have an English Wikipedia page. Just a heads up! --240D:1A:F:4900:DDFC:876A:A40F:ABC4 (talk) 03:37, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, fixed. --Jotamar (talk) 16:38, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lot of coverage

Wow! A subject with a lot of coverage. There is this article (Canary Islanders), Isleños, Isleños (Louisiana), and Canarian Americanss all mainly covering the same group of people. Otr500 (talk) 08:48, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

unclear sentence

What does "there are variation in its population depending on the individual" mean? Thank you! --- Andrea Domenici 188.217.49.151 (talk) 15:21, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've made a few changes, tell us if it's clearer now. --Jotamar (talk) 22:35, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
