Talk:Haplogroup M (mtDNA)

Missing Lineages
There are many lineages which are listed in the bottom section but missing from the geographical section, and vice-versa. In addition, there are lineages on Phylotree that are completely missing from the page. Also, the page contradicts itself as to whether M52 forms a node with M44 or M58 (Phylotree makes no claims to this), and some lineages need to be joined. M seems to have many more lineages than N or R, and the edits I made on those pages took up way too much time for me, so if anyone else is willing to do it that would be great. -MToumbola (talk) 1:38, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Haplogroup M (mtDNA)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Haplogroup M (mtDNA)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Marchi2017": From Haplogroup C (mtDNA):  From Haplogroup D (mtDNA): Marchi, N., Hegay, T., Mennecier, P., Georges, M., Laurent, R., Whitten, M., Endicott, P., Aldashev, A., Dorzhu, C., Nasyrova, F., Chichlo, B., Segurel, L. and Heyer, E., "Sex-specific genetic diversity is shaped by cultural factors in Inner Asian human populations." ''Am. J. Phys. Anthropol.'' (2017) 

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 20:10, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
