Indigenous people edit

Hi there. Per Merriam-Webster, an indigenous people are "the earliest known inhabitants of a place and especially of a place that was colonized by a now-dominant group". Thus it is an appropriate term for Māori in mainland New Zealand. The term "mainland" is to differentiate New Zealand from the Chatham Islands, where the Moriori are the indigenous people. Daveosaurus (talk) 05:05, 26 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

This is what you get when you google the meaning of indigenous: originating or occurring naturally in a particular place; native. Cambridge university definition says used to refer to, or relating to, the people who originally lived in a place, rather than people who moved there from somewhere else. Seems like Merriam Webster have changed the meaning of the word indigenous. If you don’t want to misinform people you should just type Māoris were the earliest settlers to New Zealand. They are not indigenous since they’re originally from East Polynesia. Yasarhossain07 (talk) 05:43, 26 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
Using your logic nobody is indigenous to anywhere except the East African Rift Valley. That doesn't change the archaeological fact that the Māori are the earliest known inhabitants in what is now New Zealand and are therefore indigenous. If you want to make a change to the article, find yourself a reliable source which says that Māori are not indigenous, and then take it to the talk page discussion which I am about to open. Daveosaurus (talk) 05:55, 26 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
You changed the meaning of the word indigenous to fit your narrative. Chinese are indigenous to China because that’s where to come from, same for Indians, Iranians and Germans. There is absolutely no proof that these people came from Africa. Māoris are immigrants who moved to New Zealand on 14th century therefore they’re not indigenous. Yasarhossain07 (talk) 07:19, 26 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
You credit me with far more influence on the dictionary meaning of words than I actually have. I reiterate: find yourself a reliable source, and then take it to the article talk page. Daveosaurus (talk) 07:35, 26 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
Any dictionary will tell you that "indigenous", when applied to people, means "earliest inhabitants". A link to one (Merriam-Webster) was provided earlier in the discussion.
There is extensive fossil and archaeological evidence showing that all humans originated in Africa.
I see you have already received a warning for edit warring (below); I urge you to take it seriously.

Now I will leave link from Cambridge University definition and googled definition as well. Both say insidious are originally inhabitants of a land not people who moved there and their ancestry is traced back to some other country. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/indigenous

To quote the link you just posted:
2. (of people) inhabiting or existing in a land from the earliest times or from before the arrival of colonists.
Even without this, "from the earliest times" can only mean "from the earliest times of human occupation". If your hypothesis is that Chinese people, Indians, Iranians, or Germans somehow burst out of the soil in their respective countries in an act of spontaneous self-creation, I can assure you they did not.

October 2023 edit

 

Your recent editing history at Māori people shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about 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 you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

First of all there is no such thing as mainland New Zealand and secondly Māoris moved to New Zealand from East Polynesia in 14th century. So my editing should stand since the facts are on my side. Why is someone allowed to put misinformation on Wikipedia articles which are read by millions of people. Māoris unlike aboriginal Australians aren’t indigenous. There ancestry can be clearly traced back to other Pacific Islands where they had moved from. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/election-2023-winston-peters-claims-maori-are-not-indigenous-during-nelson-meeting-with-nz-first-supporters/ZCEBFEUDZJGHXA2SY4KGOFETIQ/ Yasarhossain07 (talk) 20:18, 26 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
"Mainland" is not a synonym for "continent". Winston Peters is not a reliable source. —VeryRarelyStable 02:35, 27 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
New Zealand has 2 main islands. There is no such thing as mainland New Zealand. Winston Peters is a Maori, former deputy prime minister. Maori moved to New Zealand in 14th century. They aren’t indigenous to New Zealand nor is it clear if they were even the first immigrants. They could’ve possibly killed the people who lived there before their arrival. Yasarhossain07 (talk) 02:59, 27 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
Mainland New Zealand, in this context (as a comparison to the Chatham Islands) has a clear and unambiguous meaning. Winston Peters is not a reliable source for anything other than his own opinion (and maybe not even that [1]). There were no people who lived in NZ before the Māori - unless you think Haast's eagles are people. Now go to the article talk page and stop trying to edit war.

How is it neutral? It doesn’t feel like a serious article when you smear the former Chancellor of Germany. This article has a serious Ukrainian bias. I can provide source to my addition which shows many former chancellor work in the private sector. Yasarhossain07 (talk) 20:37, 29 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Veliky Novgorod edit

Hello @Yasarhossain07, I'm @Nikolaj1905. I have reverted your recent edit to the Veliky Novgorod article. If an uncontroversial statement seems to be unsourced, please add the Citation needed template instead of just deleting the content. Chances are that another Wikipedia editor will provide the source. In this case it was particularly easy, by the way, as the citation was provided in the body of the article. Nikolaj1905 (talk) 08:19, 3 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Introduction to contentious topics edit

You have recently edited a page related to the Balkans or Eastern Europe, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
