I 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: [http://www.bu.edu/alumni/bostonia/2005/fall/double/index.html] |

Fraternal twins can be any of the following: |
|||
Female–female: Sometimes called sororal twins (25%). |
|||
Male–male twins: Rarely called leviral twins (25%). |
|||
Male–female twins: This is the most common pairing (50%), simply by virtue of it encompassing both "male-female" (25%) and "female-male" (25%) twins. |

Changed photo - the [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Being_a_twin_means_you_always_have_a_pillow_or_blanket_handy.jpg previous one] is a cute photo, but the babies look as much identical as fraternal (please don't tell me they must be different genders due to the colours of the clothes).[[User:Davidships|Davidships]] ([[User talk:Davidships|talk]]) 18:26, 16 February 2020 (UTC) |

I removed table added in 2016 by Gatorgirl7563. It contained no information not already found in article. Tables should help the reader correlate related facts, however out of 77 cells, 66 were "X" (which was not defined). 2 columns were completely "X", so served no purpose. I am assuming that Gatorgirl7563 thought that it would be expanded and clarified by other editors over time, but at only 14% filled in, took up a lot of space without adding clarification to the article. There were previous discussions on talk page to remove or improve. |

This article is sorely lacking in content post-birth of twins. [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Entwined_Lives/MpaxQgAACAAJ?hl=en Here is an entire book on the subject]. [[User:Calliopejen1|Calliopejen1]] ([[User talk:Calliopejen1|talk]]) 08:24, 25 July 2020 (UTC) |

If someone wanted to create a comprehensive table that correlates all aspects of the different types of twinning, I would support that, but it should add information to the article by showing how their attributes compare and contrast. <span style="border-radius:9em;background:#88ff00">[[User:Bobsd|<span style="color: blue"> • Bobsd • </span>]] </span>([[User talk:Bobsd|talk]]) 17:13, 7 July 2024 (UTC) |

No mention of identical first cousins (dispersed between continents)? They laugh alike; they walk alike; at times they even talk alike. [[User:TheScotch|TheScotch]] ([[User talk:TheScotch|talk]]) 15:07, 29 September 2021 (UTC) |
