Article -> List?[edit]
Should this page be made into a List? I feel that Blood type provides sufficient Background (history, content, explanations etc.) to the reader for this article only to be a list that complements the Blood type article. Otherwise, we would just repeat all content written in Blood type article in own subheadings here. That seems unnecessary. Thoughts on this? --Treetear (talk) 23:18, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- yes, that seems like a good idea--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 23:27, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- I agree - Blood type seems the right place for the broader explanation. CharlesSpencer (talk) 10:58, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
- Disagree, now that more prose has been added to the article since the comments above. Mikael Häggström (talk) 18:45, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
contradictory?[edit]
As of today there is a "contradictory" flag after the approximate number of minor blood groups. Why is that there without any further discussion? Which article does this contradict?
77.138.224.125 (talk) 22:25, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
- I presume it's because the "200+ minor blood groups" number contradicts Blood type "across the 36 blood groups, over 340 different blood-group antigens have been found,", and Rh blood group system "the Rh blood group system is one of thirty-five known human blood group systems," and a number of other locations. It seems like it should clarify that these numbers refer to "major blood groups", and the "200+" number refers to both major and minor blood groups, if that is true.

Augustine[edit]
Right now the wikilink for Augustine group links to Augustine of Hippo. Don’t see how that’s relevant, unless he discovered/had that blood type. 97.116.94.89 (talk) 21:04, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
Information inconsistent with Blood type[edit]
"38 major human systems are identified as of August 2019"
- at line 11 is inconsistent with
"As of 2019, a total of 41 human blood group systems are recognized by the International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT)" at line 15 of the latter article.
- I'm requesting help with updating this info in both articles —CrafterNova [ TALK ] [ CONT ] 19:50, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
- CrafterNova - both pages are outdated, it's 43 now. I've updated the articles. Spicy (talk) 23:54, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
Thank you ;) —CrafterNova [ TALK ] [ CONT ] 03:10, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
