Talk:Haplogroup E1b1b (Y-DNA)
The single quote thus far on this page should probably be moved to the [[Adolf Hitler]] page, and this made into a redirect, because the narrowness of the subject is far too extreme to be likely to deserve an actual article of quotes any time in the near future... ~ [[User:Kalki|Kalki]] ([[User talk:Kalki|talk]] &middot; [[Special:Contributions/Kalki|contributions]]) 17:58, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
(contracted; show full)org/w/index.php?title=Haplogroup_E1b1b_(Y-DNA)&diff=1481190] Whether the ideas expressed are right, wrong, or indifferent, to ''quote'' is to report exactly what the author wrote. Anything else is a ''[[Quotations#On Misquotation|misquote]]''. ~ [[User:Ningauble|Ningauble]] ([[User talk:Ningauble|talk]]) 15:28, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
::: The wikipage still needs to be accurate and presented in a NPOV.  You cannot escape those requirements by saying it is a quote.

Hitler hated the Jews. To this date (2013) his cause of his hatred of Jews remains unknown. Did he fear something about himself? We cannot choose our ancestors. The NPOV  position must recognize the consensus that Adolf Hitler was a horrible person. 

...It is possible that the 'ultimate' male ancestry of Adolf Hitler comes from some non-Jewish ancestor... maybe some North African who fled the Islamic conquest of the Maghreb, maybe from some mercenary soldier of the Roman Empire. The Danube in modern-day Austria was part of the defensive perimeter of the Roman Empire for a long time. 

The quote itself is colorful at the least for its ultimate irony, and it is likely to be remembered, so it merits inclusion even if its factual basis is ever refuted. Face it: had genetic tests proven that Hitler had paternal DNA consistent with the surrounding German or Austrian "Aryan" population, would the quote be so noteworthy?
