Hey edit

That particular urheimat map is wrong. It is based on old theories claiming that Afro-Asiatic originated in Ethiopia because of how divergent Omotic is. However, this can be explained by Omotic having an Ethiopic hunter-gatherer substratum. More recently, most linguists believe it originated in a more northern region such as Egypt. As for the E1b1b1 map. It is outdated and was made before Trombetta's detailed subclade analysis and placing E-M35 in a more northerly origin.Wadaad (talk) 09:44, 3 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

I see, if that’s the case and that the Levant is now the dominant position it might lend credence to Militarevs and other linguists theory of something like this being the migration route https://i.imgur.com/mCHyBUe.jpg . Last I remember though they weren’t even close to reconstructing a proto language never mind the Urheimat. But I guess it makes sense, with the genetic research coming out and all. Thanks.

The likely Urheimat is Northern Africa somewhere between Egypt and Northern Eritrea. I do not believe it is Ethiopia or the Levant. Since research is still being done on it, let's not place inaccurate maps on the page. Thank you in advance. PS.

Please don't put those maps on the Cushite page. They are expirmental and not rock-solid. It reduces the quality of the wiki page. Let's be as accurate as possible.Wadaad (talk) 11:05, 3 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
Wait what, you thought I was gonna edit in that map? What gave you that idea? It’s been drawn in paint and lacks the aesthetic(and factual basis) to post it anywhere. Or did you mean the earlier map? In that case, it was underlined to be only a hypothesis, but I’ll take your word for it as a senior on this whole editing business. @Wadaad: MusIbr (talk) 11:13, 3 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
Sorry for the confusion. As for Merotic.. I'd prefer it not to be included. The page already has too much information on the Nile Valley region. It should have more of a focus on the Horn region (Ethiopia/Eritrea/Djibouti/Somalia). Wadaad (talk) 12:30, 3 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution edit

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Kerma culture into Cushitic peoples. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:18, 1 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

On editing logged out edit

Hi, MusIbr. I'm an uninvolved admin trying to follow the editing and the discussion around Cushitic peoples, and it seems to me that you're making it harder than it need be, by flitting between logged in and logged out. I only understood that the IP and the account are one person when I saw you say "I am the other editor, then typing from my phone" on Dalhoa's page. Admittedly, I never edit from a phone, but surely most people seem able to log in from one? Or, if not, could you please at least just state, in your IP edits or edit summaries, that you're MusIbr? If you want third parties to be able to follow, and possibly intervene in, these disagreements, please help them a little. Bishonen | talk 12:56, 28 January 2020 (UTC).Reply

Got it, thanks also for your help in solving the problem. MusIbr (talk) 18:21, 28 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia and copyright edit

  Hello MusIbr, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Cushitic peoples have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

  • You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
  • Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. I have removed the copyrighted material you added in this edit: Special:Diff/876266533/876267739 - three paragraphs copy/pasted from the abstract of this paper: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/pdf/10.1098/rspb.1976.0061 If you have made other similar edits adding copyrighted material, please remove or rewrite them in your own words, thanks. Thank you. IamNotU (talk) 00:39, 10 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
