Hello, I'm ThaddeusSholto. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Haplogroup U, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 16:55, 11 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello Thaddeus, nice talking to you. I would consider leaving them for the benefit of the info as they were referenced :
 * - Cheddar Man, fossile : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheddar_Man
 * - Yu Hong, tomb near Bejing :
 * ° https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomb_of_Yu_Hong &mT haplogroup 23&Me
 * ° mT haplogroup comes from 23&Me
 * To my sense these are mandatory U5 haplogroup illustrations, as provides by 23&Me to their members.
 * Have a nice evening,

 * The Cheddar Man article makes no reference to Haplogroup U. Yu Hong cannot be referenced by Tomb of Yu Hong as Wikipedia cannot reference itself. Just writing "23&Me" isn't a source, either. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 17:25, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Hello Thaddeus,
 * Cheddar Man, yes, it does :
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheddar_Man
 * "Cheddar Man was discovered to be haplogroup U5b1 by a Natural History Museum study in 2018 using next generation sequencing. Some 65% of western European Mesolithic hunter-gatherers had haplogroup U5".
 * So we have a Wikipedia source here.
 * Yu Hong does as well :
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomb_of_Yu_Hong
 * "A study on ancient DNA reveals that Yu Hong belonged to the haplogroup U5, one of the oldest western Eurasian-specific haplogroups, while his wife can be classified as haplogroup G, the type prevalent in East Asia."
 * Also a Wikipedia source.
 * Both seem good to go to me.
 * Kind Regards,

 * Thank you, I missed that part of Cheddar Man. Yu Hong, however, does not. Tomb of Yu Hong is a different article and you cannot use one to reference the other. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 18:11, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you Thaddeus for Cheddar Man! So we have that.
 * If it sounds preferable to refer to restrained haplogroup U5 only, following references are available from tomb's excavation :
 * ° https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2169275/
 * ° https://www.researchgate.net/publication/6373624_Evidence_of_ancient_DNA_reveals_the_first_European_lineage_in_Iron_Age_Central_China
 * ° https://mathildasanthropologyblog.wordpress.com/2008/11/03/european-mt-dna-u5-in-a-chinese-tomb/
 * If any of these sound appropriate I can reference it instead.
 * Rgds,
