Talk:Transhumance

message: The 'laws of migration' section doesn't make sense.  It states that these 'laws' came into being in a certain period, but doesn't say what migrant group they apply to or how they were formulated.  If this is a more general academic list of typical features of human migration, that should be spelled out with more detail like who developed the list and under what situations do the laws apply or not apply.
:: Agree that it doesn't belong here. I'll delete it from teh article and see if anyone objects. Then we can hold a discussion here to see if we've somehow misinterpreted. 
:: I've parked the deleted text below.  This weekend I'll try to figure out where is should go – the material is certainly good enough to go somewhere.

message: This is still very much practiced especially in Austria and Switzerland. Not in St. Moritz or Interlaken, sure, but it still is a sizable contribution to the agriculture. I added some figures (from German Wikipedia) , the references are, though, only available in German--Irmgard 19:47, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: There was some sort of weird breakage that meant that Firefox wouldn't display the image.  I fixed it by downloading the file, opening it in GIMP, re-saving it, and uploading it to Wikimedia Commons (as :Image:Seter.jpg). –EdC 15:30, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  invisible picture? 

message: I just read this page for the first time and was pleasantly surprised.  It seems well done.  I have half-expecting a page on transhumance -- not the most well known of words and concepts -- to be either stubby or veering toward the kind of train wreck that wikipedia articles so often become.  But it is neither!  Relatively short and readable, but containing lots of information, and with a global POV as well.  I just wanted to say -- well done.  That is all. Pfly 02:02, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

message: So is "nomadic transhumance" the same thing as nomadic pastoralism?  If not, then what is the difference? -- Slacker (talk) 12:06, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've been asking the same thing. Having read the articles on nomadism, pastoralism, and now transhumance (which I wish to do some work on), I would suggest that the nomadic pastoralism information is most accurately covered here. I'm proposing that we delete nomadic pastoralism and redirect it here. Then we can tidy up the nomadism and pastoralism ones so that they compliment each other and this article. Anyone wanna help? - Damian Doyle (talk) 11:47, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that they are the same.  Currently this article (Transhumance) covers two different (though related) subjects: transhumance proper, and nomadic pastoralism – these are quite distinct, and I don't think they belong in the same article.  As nomadic pastoralism already has its own article effectively we have WP:Duplicate articles.  I think the answer is to split out the nomadic material to there – unless anyone can explain how "nomadic transhumance" differs from "nomadic pastoralism".

replies: text: No further comments, so material moved to Nomadic pastoralism.  Richard New Forest (talk) 19:11, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Nomadic Transhumance v. Pastoral Nomadism

message: The wikipedia article about the Tarahumara says that some of the Tarahumara practice transhumance.  It might be good to add Mexico to the list of areas that this article (the transhumance article) mentions as places where transhumance is practiced. 24.17.218.38 (talk) 22:45, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Transhumance in Mexico 

message: This page describes abundantly the summer months but neglects important varieties of winter feeding practices, i.e. foddering. This page implies that all winter feeding is by grazing on the low pastures. However in Norway and the high Alps the valley pastures are not grazed at all but completely harvested for hay to store. The winter there is so hard that livestock must be kept indoors throughout the winter and sustained on fodder. "Norwegian 'Summer Farming', in German is called 'Alm-Wirtschaft', and must not be mixed up with the 'transhumance' traditions of Southern-Europe."http://www.canal-u.tv/video/universite_toulouse_ii_le_mirail/mountain_farming_of_norway_land_use_history_and_development_of_cultural_landscapes_mons_kvamme.5563 Mountain summer farming of Norway : land use History and Development of cultural Landscapes By Mons Kvamme Kildwyke (talk) 20:57, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

message: I came here expecting to see a discussion of how transhumance developed during the Neolithic. To my surprise, it discussed only recent transhumance. Nothing prehistoric, not even Iron Age. Doug Weller talk 16:32, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: For some sources on Neolithic transhumance, see , , . Please don't remove the tag again, it sends a message to the reader that it is a purely historic phenomenon. Thanks. Doug Weller talk 14:13, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  Sigh. That does make sense in an academicky sort of way, but it isn't the normal meaning of recentism, which generally refers to articles that deal only with the past 2 or 3 years (at the outside), ignoring all of human history. In fact the tag wording actually states "Please try to keep recent events in historical perspective..." It'd be far better to create a Prehistory section and tag it as empty. In fact, I'll do that now. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:43, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
