Gypsy Priester
[edit]Mitochondrial DNA Diversity in the Polish RomaInterestingly, haplogroup K (with HVS I motif 16224-16234-16311) found in the Polish Roma sample seems to be specific for Ashkenazi Jewish populations.
A newly discovered founder population: the Roma/Gypsies
Luba Kalaydjieva,1* Bharti Morar,1 Raphaelle Chaix,2 and Hua Tang3
Within the H-M82 haplogroup, an identical 8-microsatellite Y chromosome haplotype is shared by nearly 30% of Gypsy men, an astonishing degree of preservation of a highly differentiated lineage, previously described only in Jewish priests.

Recent lead fixes
[edit]Came across this article whose WP:LEAD appeared to quite enthusiastically support a Biblical literalist view of Aaronic priesthood (Kohens, Levites etc.) i.e. of a single origin and ergo the historicity of Aaron; this was based mostly on WP:PRIMARY sources. Looking into the article's history, these lead changes were introduced with this edit, which also removed quite a lot of secondary sources and content (including refs [Relethford, Weitzmann] which postdate some of the primary studies inserted in the edit and even directly reference them). Further it appears to be a misrepresentation of sources as while the primary sources/studies cited say that a significant number of Kohens do indeed have shared origins, they clearly add that not all of them do; which is exactly what the lead previously stated through the secondary references in a much more nuanced/balanced way.
I reverted these edits based on WP:PRIMARY, WP:SYNTH (for First Temple Aaron historicity which had been dubiously added as well) and other POV concerns (being wary of editors citing primary genetics research).
These edits were again recently restored by an IP without any rationale here.
@Doug Weller, SMcCandlish, Mark viking, Eastmain, and TarnishedPath: Further pinging recent contributors from the Talk page of the WP:GENETICS and Doug Weller as a past contributor. Inputs are much appreciated. Thanks. Gotitbro (talk) 23:02, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Gotitbro I've only got my phone to review things at the moment and have very little time to access a PC as I'm away from home. I will try and have a look before I head home after new years, but no promises. In the meantime I'd suggest requesting temporary semi-protection at WP:RPP/I (if IPs are edit warring to restore a non-policy compliant version) and raising a discussion at WP:NOR/N.TarnishedPathtalk 23:38, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
