Quaternary mention?
editI not only didn't see any mention of non-communal "quaternary marriages" mentioned in this article, I couldn't find a single mention anywhere on wikipedia. Could quaternary marriages be mentioned or even have its own article? I learned about it earlier today in the letter section of Popular Science and this was basically the only worthwhile web reference I could find outside of discussion about group marriages: [1]
Citation 19 is a dead link

editPolar body twins (hypothetical)
editThe Polar body article says that "Polar body twinning is a hypothesized form of twinning in meiosis, where one or more polar bodies do not disintegrate and are fertilized by sperm". This article has one source supposedly documenting one occurrence in humans. So what's the deal? One occurrence is pretty weak evidence. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 19:22, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
For the Citation Needed under 'Bi-paternal twins'
editI have reason to believe that for the citation needed under 'Bi-paternal twins', this article https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1488855/ may be the missing citation. I'm unsure if that link is suitable, as it contains the abstract of the study.
