Spanish figures: Add them please[edit]
The spanish figure is 2-3% redhaired people according to data. I leave the link here https://www.elmundo.es/magazine/2003/183/1048874109.html#:~:text=Si%20s%C3%B3lo%20el%207%25%20de,tanto%20dorado%20por%20nuestras%20ciudades? (Si sólo el 7% de los españoles es rubio natural (el 57% es castaño, el 26% moreno, el 3% pelirrojo y el 10% restante moreno y castaño claros)
Edit Suggestion - Genetics[edit]
Under section 2.1 Genetics I propose the following addition:
A haplotype has been identified on the ASIP locus on chromosome 20 that is associated with red hair.[1] The ASIP locus prevents the MC1R receptor from producing melanocyte-stimulating hormone. As a result, less eumelanin and more pheomelanin is produced. Pheomelanin has been linked to red hair and increased risk of skin damage due to UV light.

Some irish people say irish have red hair because of the vikings?[edit]
I have heard some irish people say that some irish people have red or blonde hair because of the Germanic invasion(Vikings) of Ireland. Why do irish people say this?
Medieval antisemitism[edit]
The following proposition:
The medieval prejudice against red-hair may have derived from the Ancient biblical tradition, in relation to biblical figures such as Esau and King David.
is unsourced and it is contraddicted by the Bible. 1 Samuel 16:1–13 affirms king David "was ruddy, with bright eyes, and good-looking." King David has been proclaimed saint for all the Christian Churches whi veretate the saints: his being ruddy couldn't have arisen any prejudice against rutilism.

"1–2% of the world population" - citation needed. As far as I'm aware, no reliable source states this. Bunny (talk) 22:23, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- [citation needed] tag added. Charliehdb (talk) 04:52, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- I've removed it. Looking back through the page history it appears that this was originally sourced (poorly) some while back to a National Geographic article in September 2007. This was the same article that spawned the "redheads going extinct" fallacy, so I don't think any reliance should be placed on it. The 1-2% figure has hung around the article since then, without any further sourcing. So long past time for it to go. --Escape Orbit (Talk) 12:06, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Article Title: Red hair
Current issue: The text "Shah Ismayil of Persia" should be updated. Additionally, Shah Ismayil's portrait is not placed appropriately and lacks descriptive text.
Text Correction:
Change "Shah Ismayil of Persia" to "Shah Ismayil of Iran" or "Shah Ismayil of the Safavid dynasty."
Portrait Relocation:
Move Shah Ismayil's portrait to the Asian section of the article.
Additional Text About Red Hair:
Add the following sentence to explain how Shah Ismayil ended up being a redhead: "Shah Ismayil I was known for his red hair, which he probably inherited through a mix of Azerbaijani and Kurdish ancestry." Zeta Tensai (talk) 17:10, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 06:30, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
