R1a frequencies

Hi. Thanks for using the talk page. What I think you've been trying to do is add date from Kayser et al. but without realizing that it is already in the table. At the moment it is in as German and Polish data only. If you really think it is important to have a lot of detail about every part of Germany and Poland you may find that people interested in other countries want to do the same thing, but I won't stop you. Please think about it a bit. Anyway, the citation already exists. In the list of references you'll see (showing how the markup looks):- *{{Citation | last = Kayser et al. | first = | author-link = | last2 = | first2 = | author2-link = | title = Significant genetic differentiation between Poland and Germany follows present-day political borders, as revealed by Y-chromosome analysis | journal = Human Genetics | volume = 117 | issue = 5 | pages = 428–443 | date = | year = 2005 | url = http://www.springerlink.com/content/w75j6048545350g5/ | doi = 10.1007/s00439-005-1333-9 | id = }} A copy can be found [http://dirkschweitzer.net/E3b-papers/HG-05-428-Poland-Germany.pdf here]. What this means is that in the source column you just need to put, as it already is, {{Harvcoltxt|Kayser et al.|2005}} and that will create the right reference link. HOWEVER, if you want to put in detailed data I believe you should remove the Germany and Poland lines. My personal opinion is that it is better to keep this data clumped into Germany and Poland. I say this keeping in mind how much data there is available today if we go for the maximum. I do not think it practical to look down to town level.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 21:01, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
