The image Image:Neolithic mehrgarh.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

Bible said this here Milinia aint never happen y'all and it aint ever gonna happen agin neether —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.111.61.44 ( talk) 21:45, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
Ok, so the English channel was formed in 7000 BC and then again in 6000 BC?
Similarly it appears that the desertification of the Sahara desert started in 3500 BC, as well as 5600 BC. Chaosdruid ( talk) 22:00, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
I haven't been able to find a referent for the inline citation "(Horse & Man, Clutton-Brock)".

IP171.60.209.86 added the following:
*c. 7000 BC: Evidence of agriculture in current-day India, Uttar Pradesh Ganges plains, Lahuradewa lake. "The study of rice phytoliths, pollen studies in the lake sediments and the presence of cultivated rice in Lahuradewa archaeological site also strongly indicate agricultural activity in the area since about 9000 years BP." [1]
*c. 7000 BC: Bhirrana in current-day India. "The antiquity of Bhirrana on the basis of radiometric dates goes back to the time bracket ranging in date between c. 7380 – 6201 BCE." [2]
*c. 7000 BC: Rigveda culture in current-day India. "It is shown that the above calendar originated in India in about 7000 BC." [3]

(Undid revision 857133708 by RegentsPark (talk). Suggestion received: "per WP:BRD. Take it to the talk page please." Reason for suggestion to take it to "talk page" neither clear nor precise. Were any of the additions not well-referenced? If yes, which one and on what count?)
Regarding the Vedic culture, Abhyankar is definitely not WP:RS. Even when attributed, it's WP:UNDUE WP:FRINGE. Same old Indigenous Aryans WP:POV pushing; probably WP:NOTHERE. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 08:36, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
This article says "c. 7000 BC: English Channel formed" and gives a citation. But the linked article on the English Channel itself and a couple other Wikipedia pages says that the channel was formed much earlier than that (~180,000 years ago) but was bridged by ice until the end of the last glacial period, ending ~11,000 BC. So the trench itself was created much earlier and the open water was sill well before 7000 BC, according to these other sources. Someone with more knowledge than I may want to edit the sentence to clarify what -- if anything -- happened geologically with the English Channel in the 7th millennium BC.

WP:VERIFY says, LOUD AND CLEAR, that "that other people using the encyclopedia can check that the information comes from a reliable source. Wikipedia does not publish original research. Its content is determined by previously published information rather than the beliefs or experiences of editors. Even if you're sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it".
I have tried very hard to verify much of the content in the series from 10th millennium BC to 6th millennium BC and, frankly, much of it is completely unverifiable or is in the wrong place. I've lost count of the number of entries that have had to be revised and then moved into other millennia. This is taking far too much of my time and why should I waste my time searching for sources that other people have been too lazy to add, assuming they ever existed in the first place? Invariably, they didn't. I am therefore deleting all unsourced content from this article under the terms of WP:UNSOURCED which says that "the burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material". As the editors concerned can't be bothered or are guilty of "subtle vandalism", a very telling phrase I saw earlier today, the unsourced stuff is OUT.
I should add that I have my own sources, which are all reliable, and I will continue to improve these millennium articles. As a result, a few of the entries now being removed could end up being restored in one way or another, but with the proper level of citation as verifcation.
