Replaceable fair use File:Example of light skinned European woman.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Example of light skinned European woman.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Peripitus (Talk) 02:32, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

Joyce DiDonato article

I wonder what evidence you have for suggesting that she is of Italian descent? DiDonato is the name of her former husband, and the one she has kept and uses professionally. I've reverted the entry, but if you can find a reliable reference for including that category, then please do so. Viva-Verdi (talk) 13:37, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

Please stop attacking other editors. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. CBWeather, Talk, Seal meat for supper? 08:37, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make personal attacks on other people, as you did at Romanians. Comment on content, not on fellow editors. Amortias (T)(C) 10:05, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Romanians shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

If you have issues about using the census, take it to the article's talk page. Iryna Harpy (talk) 22:22, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Your continued edit warring at Olive skin is more than a little tedious, and it's exacerbated by the fact that it's being added for unverified reasons (as one editor pointed out, "no indication that is their natural tone, half of essex looks like that at the weekend"), and by the complete lack of talk page discussion.

R1b1c

The R1b1c in Sardinia is M18 a clade that is absent in all sub-Saharan and other African populations; It was only detected in Lebanon, Sardinia and Corsica; Its ancestral clade is V88 and V88 clades are most common in sub-saharan Africa but R1b-V88 itself is not sub-saharan; All ancestral R1b clades stem from eastern Eurasia and V88 ancestor is P25 (ancestor of both V88 and M269) which in turn derives from its ultimate ancestor is M207 (R1b/R1a); Thus before R1b (P25/V88) entered sub-Saharan Africa (from Eurasia/NearEast/North Africa) it must have split into subclade M18 and moved along the Mediterranean whee it is only presence today; As for the distribution of V88 clades in sub-Saharan Africa {Cruciani et al 2010}: "In summary, our data indicate a significant male contribution from northern Africa (and ultimately Asia) to the gene pool of the central Sahel. The trans-Saharan population movements resulting in this genetic pattern would seem to mirror the spread of the proto-Chadic languages, and most likely took place during the early mid Holocene, a period when giant paleolakes may have provided a corridor for human migrations across what is now the Sahara desert."
Cruciani et al 2010: http://www.nature.com/ejhg/journal/v18/n7/full/ejhg2009231a.html
note the complete absence of M18 in Africa (Table1.) Agilulf2007 (talk) 10:21, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

In response; But Boattini et al 2013 did and he equally found R1b1c to be only M18 (2.4% / 82 samples); The images you have are not representing the specified subclades tested (or they were not tested) as also by R1b1a2 (M269); Some bloggers and forum users (Mr. Rocca) have more details from the Fraccalacci et al 2013 study and deceiphered for example (R1b-U152) frequency; Try to find these specific tables; Agilulf2007 (talk) 10:36, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

In response; No exactly not; The V88 clades in the sub-Saharan Chadic speaking Areas came (directly) from North Africa (ultimately) from Eurasia (P25 being the ancestral clade); M18 which is a clade of V88<P25 must have already developed from V88 in the Near East (Lebanon) and spread west the Mediterranean to Sardinia and Corsica (along with Lebanon the only modern places where it exists) before V88's further expansion into North Africa and thus long before its migration than from there to sub-Saharan Africa; Agilulf2007 (talk) 11:08, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

In response; I can only advise and refer to the Cruciani et al 2010 study - link and quote in my first post; Again, M18 (V88<P25) does not derive from sub-Sahara Africa because V88 does not derive from sub-Sahara Africa, V88 derives from P25 Eurasia and its clades spread into sub-Sahara Africa from Northern Africa (Cruciani et al 2010); M18(subclade of V88) is only found in the Mediterranean (complete absenty in Africa) and M18 is also the only V88 clade found in Corsica, Lebanon and Sardinia making M18 an isolated clade of V88; And its place of Origins (high molecular diversity) can thus only be found in these three Mediterranean areas most prob. Lebanon i.e. spreading (M18<V88<P25<M343) from Lebanon via a western route (Mediterranean); Isolated from the the major V88(<P25) route into North Africa and than south into the Sahal region; M18 is Mediterranean (V88<P25<M343) and does not derives from a V88 subclade of the Chadic speaking areas, it derives from V88 before it migrated south into the Sahal region >from Northern Africa< (Cruciani et al 2010) and ultimately stems from Eurasia (as all other R1b clades) via P25<M343; I really hope that you correct/delete that entry otherwise a third party will be included; Agilulf2007 (talk) 11:48, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

P25 mutated in V88 among Chadic Speakers of Cameroon, where the highest diversity of this haplogroup has been found.

No, that is exactly incorrect; As Cruciani et al 2010 remarks In summary, our data indicate a significant male contribution from northern Africa (and ultimately Asia) to the gene pool of the central Sahel; One of highest diversity of V88 (V88*) is still in the Siwa Oasis (Berbers) Egypt further manifesting V88 origins outside sub-Sahara Africa in northern Africa with V88 ultimately stemming from <P25<M343 Eurasia (Cruciani Asia) to begin with; V88 and certain clades moved south into the Sahel region but M18 was definitely not one of them for it is completely absent in all of Africa; The most prominent subclade of R1b-V88 in sub-Sahara (Chadic speaking areas) is V69; At best M18 also originated in the Siwa Oasis from V88 and traveled north/west into the Mediterranean (Corsica, Sardinia, Lebanon) or it already originated in Lebanon (from V88) and traveled west into the Mediterranean; But what is very clear is that M18 is not (as you falsely assert) of a R1b-V88 clade from sub-Sahara Africa; It is from V88 of north Africa or Near East (deriving from P25<M343 Eurasia);Agilulf2007 (talk) 13:46, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

In response; The Siwa Oasis is surly not a bottle-neck from a south to north migration; It is a remnant of the original north to south migration (Cruciani et al 2010) and the migration must have been north to south due to the ancestral clades (P25<M343) emerging from eastern Eurasia (Cruciani Asia); M18 is a clade from V88 of that migration either already in Lebanon (Near east) or from (now extinct) Siwa Oasis / Northern Egypt; But M18 has nothing to do with the V88 clades (neither derived, nor present) that later migrated from northern Africa into the Sahal and Chadic speaking areas; Therefor your assertions are false and M18 is never (not in any study) described as a sub-Saharan clade because it simply isnt and Cruciani explains the migration of R1b P25>V88 from Asia to northern Africa exactly; So either you quote a study that states M18 as a sub-Saharan clade or you remove the blatantly false info; Agilulf2007 (talk) 15:14, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

The last response; The testing that was done, however clearly indicates a (R1b) migration from Asia (P25<M343) and a zero presence i.e. complete absense of V88(M18) in all of Africa; Thus M18 (the only presence of R1b1c in Sardinia) has nothing to do with Africa; And what you claim to be 'obvious' is in fact (Cruciani et al 2010), simply false; So do correct your false edits; Agilulf2007 (talk) 18:05, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

No; because U6 has an African origin (all clades) M18 of V88 does not; You can Re-Read all my posts on the talk pages but if you dont get it than you just dont get it; Agilulf2007 (talk) 21:49, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

Its M18 and not V18; And where is the highest diversity of M18? It cant be in Africa because it doesnt exist in Africa, it can only be in the three places so far located and that is Sardinia, Corsica and Lebanon (most likely Lebanon);
What is fact (Cruciani et al 2010) is that R1b-V88 originates from a migration of P25<M343 from Asia towards northern Africa and from there into the Sahal region (Cruciani et al 2010) with M18 (one of its subcaldes) having a zero presence (i.e. complete absenty) in All of Africa; Thus most likely already originating in the Near East (Levantine/Lebanon) from V88 on route to northern Africa; Because if it would have originated in Africa (like subclade V69) it would also be having a presence in Africa (like subclade V69) but it doesnt;
PS: if you are so fixated on high diversity, why dont you make the obvious case than that R1b(U152) is Italian? The highest diversity of U152* is in Italy and also the highest diversity of U152>L2* is in Italy and of many other U152 subclades (Z192*) as well; Agilulf2007 (talk) 10:14, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

When you say that R1b1c and R1b1c* have been found only in Africa. So R1b-V88 is of African origin than that is simply false; Because M18(<V88) was not found in Africa, because it does not exist in Africa; And Cruciani et al 2010 (read it again) clearly states an R1b migration from Asia into northern Africa and that M18 is completely absent in Africa, thus M18 and its ancestor V88 existed before entering northern Africa; The phylogenetic tree you posted is correct as are the trees in Cruciani et al 2010 (read it again) and further disprove your false assertions;
PS: Of course there is diversity in M18 (as there is diversity in V35 with V7 - tested in Cruciani et al 2010 / but not in your internet source), and when a scientist will eventually study and test the molecular diversity of/in M18 we will know the place of Origins - Lebanon, Corsica or Sardinia, but definitely not Africa because it doesnt even exist in Africa; To read Cruciani et al 2010 again; Agilulf2007 (talk) 11:49, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

False once again; Your internet page is not up to date for it doesnt even include V7 as a subclade V35; Cruciani et al 2010 on the other hand is an academic study and testing R1b1c(V88) specifically is thus more accurate and revealing; However both the phylogenetic tree at ISOGG and Cruciani et al 2010 are correct and disprove your false assertions; And in case you havent noticed both ISOGG and Cruciani et al identify the subclade as M18 not V18; Agilulf2007 (talk)

And that is the same false nonsense over and over again; Just re-read all my posts on the talk pages and the academic study i cited; As for V7 of course V7 exists as a subclade of V35 academic fact since Cruciani et al 2010;

Boattini et al 2013

I really dont know what is going on in your head; But Boattini et al 2013 tested 82 Sradinians (samples) and none were of Haplogroup A; In Supplamentary Table_S1 you can see what haplogroup each Sardinian belonged; It is not (as you falsely assert) that Hg A was not tested and Sardinians were than given different Hg's (which is complete nonsense in itself), it is that NONE of the 884 Italians (incl. 82 Sardinians) tested in that study tested for Hg A; i.e. Hg A is none existing in Italy (incl. Sardinia) according to that data of 884 samples (Boattini et al 2013); Agilulf2007 (talk) 14:08, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Tuscany

I am well aware that the samples in Achilli et al 2007 are from Murlo (86), Volterra (114) and Casentino valley (122); However they are groups together as a Total (322) in 'Table 1.' and in 'Table 2.' these 322 samples represent Tuscany; The highest value is Volterra with 2.63 (3/114) and the lowest value is Murlo with 1.16 (1/86); And thus the Tuscany average of 1.86 (6/322) is well represented to both for no value is 2x as higher or 2x as low; Also for such a format it is fitting to have the entire region instead of each village/town; As you also did with Romano et al 2003 by listing Sicily and not each of the 7 villages/towns tested; Agilulf2007 (talk) 19:32, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

Those three areas have just few thousands of inhabitants and are in no way representative of Tuscany. I've also edited the parts of Romano et al. Joeyc91 (talk) 05:55, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

That is your opinion, but Achilli et al (2007) makes it representative for Tuscany in 'Table 2.' and as a Total in 'Table 1.'; Your estranged friend with the IP address is wrong Brisighelli et al 2012 is mtDNA L 7/583 = 1.20% as also stated in the text of the study in the Phylogeography section; PS: i never requested you to edit your edit of Romano et al 2003 - was fine with it; Agilulf2007 (talk) 06:13, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

No it's not my opinion: it's openly stated in the paper. Now stop vandalizing the page!

Yes it is openly stated in the paper that these 322 samples are from 3 villages in Tuscany and represent Tuscans in 'Table 2.' of that study; If you think they are so unimportant than why are they even in the chart? And your not the judge of how isolated and unimportant a village is especially not if the scientists of the paper grouped them as a Total 'Table 1.' and as Tuscans 'Table 2.'; And vandalizing a page with two separate accounts is not permitted; Agilulf2007 (talk) 06:24, 10 June 2015 (UTC)::::

So what? The author labelled the samples as "Tuscany" but that don't make them representative of the region with over 4 million of inhabitants.

Stop making false edits, 7/583 = 1.20% and not 1.00% (Countrywide/Brisighelli); And the 322 samples are grouped as Tuscans because they are Tuscans; You might consider them unimportant Tuscans but thats just your lousy opinion and its not in line with the scientists of that paper; for the last time: Total 'Table 1.' / Tuscans 'Table 2.'; PS: stop with your blatant insults; Agilulf2007 (talk) 06:30, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

You are arguing semantics. The samples are only from 3 villages, so I've the right to specify it. Your opinion is irrelevant.

In Achilli et al 2007 (Table 2./not my "opinion") Tuscany = 322 samples from these 3 villages; Thats how it is; How important these villages are to you, is truly just your opinion; Agilulf2007 (talk) 06:39, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Casentino isnt even a village its a valley in the province of Arezzo with numerous villages and thats where 122 samples come from from the 322 total; Agilulf2007 (talk) 06:53, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

lol There are 10.000 inhabitants in Casentino. That's 0.25% of Tuscan population. Try harder.

Dude, you are not the judge of where these samples come from; For as long as these samples are Tuscans they can come from any valley or village and will represent Tuscany! As also clearly illustrated by Achilli et al(2007) 'Table 2.' - the study itself that is cited; Therefor there should not even be a discussion as to how to list them, because Achilli et al lists them as Tuscans 322 (6/322 1.86%) and thats that;
As for "try harder", why dont you try harder making some sense for a change; Agilulf2007 (talk) 07:02, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Corsicans

Sorry but, unless you have affordable sources, which I urged you to provide, for your claim regarding the local people, I can't do anything more but keep reverting your edits (not to allege bad faith, but, to put it mildly, some are quite dubious, like the one asserting French is a minority language among the Corsicans - if you've been to the island, you'll realize that, on the contrary, it's French to be the most widespread language and the indigenous one mostly spoken by the elderly and the over 50s). I hope this is not a sign for an edit war to come - in the meanwhile, you may want not to use the edit summary field to write some statements classifiable as opinions and rather back them with some references.

Non-English articles; use of Sandbox instead

HI, I see you're creating a number of articles, presumably copied from other-language Wikipediae, in languages other than English. Please stop doing that. The English Wikipedia is for English-language articles only.

You may not be aware of the Sandbox facility, but you can create a "sandbox" in your own User space, not in the general article space, and develop your new article, there, including translation into English. Then, when you've completed the article, you can move it to mainspace. Please see WP:SANDBOX for information on this; you should also have a link "Sandbox" on your Wikipedia menu, which will take you straight to you personal non-shared Sandbox (so there's no need to worry about another editor playing in the sandbox and reverting your edits of an article-in-progress).

There's nothing magic about the Sandbox name User:Joeyc91/sandbox, either, by the way. If you're working on multiple articles, feel free to use multiple sandboxes, e.g., User:Joeyc91/sandbox1, User:Joeyc91/sandbox2, etc. Help:Userspace draft has info on this and a simple clickable button to start.

Another alternative is to use the Draft namespace for drafts like you are producing, until ready for the mainspace. Please see WP:Drafts for information on that.

Whichever method you use, please stop creating non-English articles; create your article as discussed above, and move it into main space only when you've completed translating to English. Thanks. TJRC (talk) 17:22, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

Italian Average height

Hi, I reverted your edit about Italian height, because it seems different from a description in a given source. The document indeed is a survey done in Taranto, but the height data used on this doc is a national average height instead of the average in Taranto (page 10). However, if you know the source is wrong, or I misunderstand the explanation, we can discuss about it on this talk page. Thanks. JordanZaxxon (talk) 00:56, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Template:Average height around the world without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Ping me with {{u|Jim1138}} and sign "~~~~" or message me on my talk page. 08:40, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

Copyright requirements for translated content

Hello, Joeyc91. :) It was pointed out to me on my talk page that you have added content to Polada Culture in Italian, and it looks like you have copied and translated material from it:Cultura di Polada.

It's okay to translate content from one language Wikipedia to another, but content on Wikipedia is not public domain. It is copyrighted, and using it requires that you meet the author's conditions. One condition is attribution.

Because of the wording of our Terms of Use, you can satisfy the attribution requirement by providing a link to the original article in the edit summary when you add the text. Wikipedia's best practices also require adding a note on the talk page, to help avoid confusion. Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia talks about the mandatory and the recommended practices.

I've fixed the issue in this case so it's all clear, but if you've translated or copied content into other articles, please go ahead and fix that attribution, and please remember to follow the process going forward.

Thanks! --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 01:17, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi. I need to be clear that this is not optional. You have created another article, Situla Benvenuti, with content translated from it:Situla Benvenuti. This is a copyright issue, and the English Wikipedia takes copyright concerns quite seriously. Content that does not comply may be removed and editors who persist may be blocked from further editing. Please fix the attribution of that article in the method described at WP:CWW. If you need help, I am happy to explain in more detail how this is done. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 12:45, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

Final warning

Today you have copied without attribution content from Adriatic Veneti and Canegrate culture, and you still have not cleaned up your copyright problems from yesterday. I will not give you further warning. If you do not stop violating copyright and do not clean up the copyright violations you have already been advised of, I will block your account. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 12:12, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Blocked

As advised yesterday, you have been indefinitely blocked for creating copyright problems (your most recent today at List of ancient peoples of Italy with content you copied without attribution from another Wikipedia article).

As you have been advised, Wikipedia takes copyright seriously. I have attempted to work with you on this issue, but your failure to engage or to repair the copyright issues you are creating and your continued creation of copyright issues is disruptive.

If you wish your account to be unblocked, you will need to provide some assurance that you understand our copyright policies and are willing to comply, as well as to fix the problems you've already created.

Please be advised that if you edit under any other account, or logged out, any edits you add under that account may be deleted simply because you placed them. The block is not against your account, but against you as a person. See Wikipedia:Sock puppetry for more information.

If you have questions about this, I will be watching your talk page. Alternatively, you can place your note here with the text {{help me}}, and someone will come by to respond to you in short order. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:54, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

I've not copied anything in the article about ancient people of Italy. Are you crazy or what? I've just added some tribes to the list. Is that also copying????? Joeyc91 (talk) 14:59, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

Yes, you did. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 15:49, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

No I did not. I've just added some tribes of Ligures and Celts, from a book I've read. So what's your point? Are you going to block me forever? What's the matter anyway? Do I need to add the source link in the edit summary or what? Joeyc91 (talk) 16:17, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

Yes, you did. Everything you do on Wikipedia is permanent record. You copied it from another Wikipedia article. And, yes, you are blocked indefinitely. That means you are not allowed to edit Wikipedia until you negotiate an unblock. And that's not likely to happen if you are not honest about your actions and don't take steps to fix them. You need to add a source link in the edit summary and a note on the talk page. I linked you to Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia the first time I approached you. You need to learn those rules and follow them. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 16:27, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKKKKKKKKKKK! I've read the link you sent me. So when will my blocking will espire?Joeyc91 (talk) 18:14, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

Your block does not expire. It can be removed if you indicate that you will follow the legally required steps when copying or translating content in future and if you will go back and repair the cases where you did not. I've corrected a number and removed some content until that attribution can be supplied, but until that attribution is given i'm afraid the content remains a copyright violation. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 22:54, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

• I have now blocked your IP for 24 hours for block evasion for editing today. You were told above that the block is against you as a person, not against your account. You are not permitted to edit Wikipedia while blocked. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 22:57, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
  • You have now created an illicit count and edited again as an IP. Is it your desire to be banned on Wikipedia? :/ Originally, I did not revert the content you added while evading your block but now have done so. If you want to edit, you need to do so through this account, after having it unblocked. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 12:44, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of List of Celtic place names in Friuli-Venezia Giulia

The article List of Celtic place names in Friuli-Venezia Giulia has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

A for 95% untranslated article made by an indef blocked user (blocks for copyvio and socking), since protected because of the socking. Better to just get rid of it and start afresh if and when wanted.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Proposed deletion of List of Celtic Urban Toponymy in Italy

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
