Welcome!
editHello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia

- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Simplified Manual of Style
Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.≥
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Merge proposal
editAs a concerned editor of the American Revolutionary War article you might be interested in a recent proposal to merge the Anglo-French War (1778–1783) article, covering battles involving Britain and France, with the France in the American Revolutionary War article, covering the French army and navy helping in the fight for American independence. You can voice your opinion here. See Talk Page Table of contents for related discussions. -- Neutral and Anayomous.
Merging proposal
editI just saw your notice on the ARW talk page. I'll have to check in on that. You might also want to look into the proposal to merge the Anglo-French War (1778-1783) article with the France in the American Revolutionary War being voted on and discussed on the talk page. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 23:43, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Get back on your horse
editAye there user 021120x. Sorry to see you got the boot, but don't give up hope. IMO, the block was a little excessive, but that's now history. I know a number of great editors who have received a block, so don't feel as if you're alone. Hope to see you around. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 21:52, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

editHi 021120x! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. --WikiLinuz {talk} 03:59, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

Gretzinger
editYour addition to the lead is too detailed. The lead should reflect and summarise what is in the body of the article, not to go into extreme detail about one aspect of it.
The paper never claims that their aDNA findings reflect the whole contemporary population of lowland Britain, for two very good reasons, burials with A-S grave goods are rather obvious and may not represent the mortuary practices of all the population - British Iron Age mortuary practices left (with some notable exceptions) little archaeological trace - and the modern population of England has far less Germanic ancestry than their 70+%. Where did this surviving pre-Roman ancestry come from? Some unrecorded Welsh reflux, or because this ancestry remained within the future England and the 70+% they found did not represent the whole contemporary population. I think the latter is more probable. Urselius (talk) 06:32, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- The explanation posited by Schiffels, who also found the ancestry of the early medieval English samples to be either predominantly or completely AS, was that the levels of indigenous Iron Age ancestry seen in the modern population were due to more recent internal migrations from surrounding regions and subsequent mixing with those populations. 021120x (talk) 21:31, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
