Talk:Sámi history

message: This article has no references at all and definitely needs some clean-up (Nov 2006)
Thanks for helping out to fix the article! :-) // Rogper 13:51, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)

message: A bit unfair to say that the swedes took a less militant way. They sterilized loads of sami, I added it to the article.

thread_title:  Sweden.. 

message: The sections "Origin" and "Before 15th century" are stubs and include no information at all on the modern research on these topics, which has been quite active in the past few decades. The section "Origin" repeats cliches of the genetically unique character of the Saami, without making any reference to the origins of the ethnic group itself.
Moreover, the following does not make sense: "The genetic origin of the "proto-Sami" is still unknown, though recent genetic research may be providing some clues. Nevertheless, it appears that the Sami represent an old European population." Proto-Sami is a linguistic term for the reconstructed common ancestor of the Sami languages, and it has nothing to do with genetics.
I am planning to expand these sections, but before I start with this I'd be glad to hear suggestions from others on what kind of information to include. --AAikio 06:20, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: 'Proto-Sami' most unambiguously does not mean that. It refers to the reconstructed ancestral language of the Saami languages. This usage is completely unanimously accepted in linguistics and it is a blatant termonological mistake to use it to refer to a non-FU language. Note, though that German Protolappisch has been used in this sense, but German "Proto-" does not translate as English "proto-" here; the German term for "Proto-Sami" is Urlappisch. --AAikio 06:11, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have added links to different genetic studies and some historical and mytological research and records. The oldest of todays Saami mtDNA haplogroup indicate a age over 5 000 years but not older than 10 000 years, also most importantly its diversity is "homegrown" and not imported from elsewhere more recently suggesting a continuity beyond the Saami culture and within the time period of the Komsa culture, it has neither spread much outside todays tradiditional Sami territories. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by XiXaXo (talk • contribs) 14:14, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Early history 

message: I added several paragraphs from the Sami people article, that may or may not have been in this article. Currently these are just pasted into various sections, but I will later do a cleanup of this article.Labongo 15:48, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Added content from [[Sami people]] 

message: This part is a mess. I mean, look at it. Badly written English and very biased opinions, often going on a wild tangent. Yes, this section should be preserved as a section, but its contents really need some serious updating regarding grammar, sentence structure and perhaps some bias. Also, it needs a lot of love from sources.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.125.176.91 (talk) 14:03, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: File:LapinSota.jpeg Nominated for Deletion

message: It uses very biased language, poor english, half of it is about the history of the Sami people which has nothing to do with racial discrimination, makes a lot of un-sourced claims and also uses pretty questionable sources.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.226.155.116 (talk) 05:10, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
