message: Why are they in the Qahtan article. (I didn't want to edit, until I figure out if there is a reason for including them in the Qahtan article.
They are unrelated, even if they came from the South it was from a Pre Qahtan Semitic Migration, Just like the rest of the Semites. 
Qahtan mainly remained in South Arabia until the Kahlan migrations in the 3rd century. 
Any migrations before the 3rd century are minor and were assimilated to the North Semitic culutres. The early Semitic migrations of the 3rd Mellenia were before Qahtan existed. Which according to Arab geneology was Seperated 40 generation from Ismail and 80 generations from Adnan so thats around the 23rd century BC. --Skatewalk 01:04, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

message: This article uses the terms "Arab" and "Arabic". However, Yemen was not Arabic-speaking until like 11th century CE. YOMAL SIDOROFF-BIARMSKII (talk) 21:45, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The sentence was removed "Genetic distinctions between the historically nomadic people of the Northern/Central Arabian peninsula and the sedentary people of the South are attributed to the early Islamic conquests." The source attached to it https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC379148/ makes no claim or indication that the advent of Islam attributed to the genetic distinction between north or central and south Arabians.

thread_title:  Claim removed for inaccuracy 

message: The article says that Qahtanites are sons of Ishmael but that's not true Qahtanites are older than Ishmael if you checked Jurhum you would see that it's a Qahtanite tribe which Ishmael married from and Ishmael's descendents are the Hashemites and Ishmaelites not Qahtanites.

thread_title:  Qahtanites are descendents of Ishmael?  

message: I will remove this part since references and sources dont work "but Joktan had 13 sons and Qahtan had 24 sons. So with this point Qahtan was another descendant of Ishmael and not the Joktan of the Hebrew Bible.[4][5]" 
Also for inaccuracy since second Jurhum is descended from Qahtan and Ishmael married from them SharabSalam (talk) 04:51, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

text: What do you mean the links don't work? Reference 4 is offline, there is no requirement for references to be online. I have tagged reference 5 as a deadlink. You said you have read reference 4. Could you please provide a picture of page 45, perhaps you are reading a different edition? Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 12:48, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

text: That link you provided says "This view is largely based on the claim of Muslim Arab historians that their oldest ancestor is Qahtan, whom they identify as the biblical Joktan (Gen. 10:25-26). Montgomery finds it difficult to reconcile Joktan with Qahtan based on etymology." The editor who did added the statement probably didn't link to it online as they might have read the book in person, and linking to a book online is not required. Mr Tony is not the author Mr Maalouf is. I will add the link to Google Books in the citation though. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 14:12, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

text: Thank you for adding informed that references sources, but we don't remove WP:DEADLINKs we keep them. I have restored it because of that. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 17:52, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

message: Hi, can someone please explain what the template parameter of location refers to? Does it refer to where the tribe is originally from or where the tribe is located?  SharabSalam (talk) 00:01, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
