I've made a few changes to the draft, with notes in the edit summaries when applicable. I think the most important omission right now is the end of the Late Glacial Interstadial and the beginning of the Younger Dryas. Most of the information currently in the article is good, though I'm not sure how relevant it is that certain types of animals were at Aetokremnos. I imagine there were molluscs, sea birds, and reptiles in lots of places, so this doesn't seem terribly important unless I'm missing something. But really all the article needs is more information about the different aspects of the millennium as they're described in academic sources. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 16:01, 18 February 2023 (UTC) Reply
- Alright. Thanks for helping me with the article! I made some changes to it and will try to find another source that talks about certain types of animals that were at Atekremnos. Right now the article is at C-class, which is understandable. Thanks for taking your time to help this draft! FerdinandLovesLegos (talk) 21:47, 18 February 2023 (UTC) Reply
I have made a bunch of changes to the draft and it now has 20 notes! It has the exact same amount of notes as the 8th millennium BC. In my opinion, I think this draft will become a page in no time! Sadly, there is still a long ways away for this draft to reach good article standard due to there not being as much information as the 10th and 9th millennium BC's. Hopefully, this draft will pass both of them and also reach good article standards, and maybe Featured Articles. FerdinandLovesLegos (talk) 01:24, 22 February 2023 (UTC) Reply
Do you think we should mention Jebel Sahaba? Koopinator (talk) 09:04, 26 February 2023 (UTC) Reply
- Okay, doesn't look like it. This article says it dates to 13,400–18,600 BP (11,450–16,650 BC). Maybe something for a 12th millennium BC article. Koopinator (talk) 09:28, 26 February 2023 (UTC) Reply
- I agree that we should not mention Jebal Sahaba in this article. I will try to mention it when I start working on the 12th millennium BC page. FerdinandLovesLegos (talk) 15:53, 26 February 2023 (UTC) Reply
As a layperson I simply cannot parse many many sections of this article at all. Abbreviations, mentions of research, etc. are just intractable for the average person. If someone who doesn't study anthropology or prehistory wants to know important developments that occurred in the 11th millennium BC, they won't understand most of this article.
Also, there is a sentence where the author has seemingly copy pasted from a research paper - saying "...we propose...". Arvasu (talk) 15:50, 27 October 2025 (UTC) Reply
- Hey! I made this article years ago, and I honestly forgot that I even made this article to begin with. Yes, I do agree that in its current state, the article is nowhere close to being a good article status due to not being reader friendly. I just changed the "we propose" to "scientists" (it might not be the right term as I didn't check the source for it). I currently don't have any plans of redoing this article or expanding the millennium series anytime soon. That's all I can say really. FerdinandLovesLegos (talk) 23:51, 26 April 2026 (UTC) Reply
