"Primary homeland" of Jews

@TheCrimsonKing'sCourt: I removed "Crimea" as one of two "primary homelands" of Jews. You say that the note that Crimean Karaites and Krychaks are indigenous to Crimea was sourced. I can't find that source. Even if a source should exist, "indigenous" doesn't mean the same as "primary homeland". Just one example for the difference: In 2021, there was a celebration of 1700 years of Jewish presence in Germany. To me, that means Jews are indigenous to Germany. But Germany is not their "primary homeland." Rsk6400 (talk) 19:33, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure that ukrainer.net and iccrimea.org are WP:RS. Even if they are RS, that doesn't make Ukraine the "primary homeland" of the Jews. Rsk6400 (talk) 17:19, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It makes it a homeland for the specifically subgroups listed. Especially since Karaites are occasionally grouped differently than ethnic Jews. TheCrimsonKing'sCourt (talk) 03:41, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Following this logic, we could list all countries with a long history of Jewish presence as "primary homeland". Rsk6400 (talk) 12:54, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't object to it, no. Especially if their governments recognize them as indigenous. 2600:1014:B1AE:48C5:0:1D:D7B3:8401 (talk) 19:07, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Indigenous doesn't mean how long you've stayed in an area but if you are native there. 107.144.132.45 (talk) 05:56, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Svans and Megrels/Mingrealians

Megrels and especially Svans are not a subgroup of Georgians. Megrels could be merged with Laz, while Svans definitely should be separate. 128.227.1.24 (talk) 18:38, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hungary primary homeland

I've found as hungary primary home land Nubia, Egypt and Sudan. Please, could You remove It? Or, It was mistake? Please, could You look on It, because I'll remove It. Thank You. Cassa342 (talk) 16:57, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cassa432: It was added in relation to the Magyarab people. Arctic Circle System (talk) 09:37, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Microstate ethnic identity

Where is the evidence that Liechtensteiners, Monegasques, and Sammarinese are distinct ethnicities, but not Andorrans? 70.184.145.33 (talk) 20:42, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
