replies: text:  I do not agree with this merge, now all the disamb Motherland topics are orphaned. Motherland is a completely separate word in English language and hence it should not be merged. It would be better to ref to Motherland here but then have a sep Motherland page.--Halqh حَلَقَة הלכהሐላቃህ (talk) 11:48, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Per this discussion i have restored it, It can be a stub in this article. It is far too common and expression on its own to be hidden in a homeland, which reminds me of American security. So these words have connotations and need their seperate space to be developed. Plus all the content on words for Motherland were lost including the fact that it orphaned disabig terms for Motherland. no solid reason for the merger.--Halqh حَلَقَة הלכהሐላቃህ (talk) 05:54, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Joining Mother-, Father- and Homeland

message: «The term "Motherland" is very often applied to Africa due to it being the origin of humanity and civilization», is declared in this article. Well, mmmh, yes, there seems to be full agreement on an Oldowan origin of mankind (hence civilization). But I really never heard or read anybody applying the term "Motherland" to Olduvai Gorge or the like in Africa. Would someone provide with references for such a strong expresion "very often applied"?

thread_title: Africa the Motherland of humanity and civilization?

message: Fatherland needs to be merged into this article. They are the same topic. I read some comments about fatherland having a different connotation. This is mostly untrue. The word fatherland does tend to be used in different contexts than homeland but that does not make them different topics, just different words for the same topic. Regardless the fatherland article is currently mostly a lookup of translations into different languages.

thread_title:  Fatherland merger 

message: Within the 'Fatherland' heading is the bullet point:
-*Scots heauinlie (besides the more common faitherland)*
I'm fairly sure that this is nonsensical. The Dictionary of the Scots language doesn't have a definition for 'heauinlie', but it arises in the supporting quotations for a number of other words from which it is clear that it is an antique spelling of 'heavenly'. 
I suspect the confusion has arisen from the definition for 'Patrie-(One's) fatherland or native country' which includes a quoted line from a prayer 'In my patrie of ȝour heauinlie kingdom; '
I am not and have no ambition to be an editor, and I'm not even sure if I'll get this posted successfully, but hopefully next time and editor wanders by they could look at this apparent misapprehension? 
Many thanks

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: As a separate concern, the current structure/content of this article has some problems. A lot of the article is devoted to discussing which cultures use the "mother" concept and which use the "father" concept. While this is an interesting thing to discuss, it hardly deserves the space that is currently allotted. Even the "Various connotations" section largely talks about how the term is used.
IMHO the existing content should be simplified and meaningful content added. The concept of a homeland actually is an important topic. See the following as examples of scholarly discussions of homelands:
* Constitutional Design for Divided Societies: Integration Or Accommodation?
* The Philosophy of International Law
* National Identity
