warning: subject is editing his own biographic article
The subject apparently has been editing this article (see the history). Wikipedia has a
The current article is a list of accomplishments without scientific context to judge the nature and importance of these accomplishments. Maybe that is OK for a biography but in some cases it becomes misleading. The "MHC Loci . . . " section makes it seem like Nei invented the idea of using nucleotide data to detect selection. Actually there are other ways to do this that also date from the 1980s when comparative sequencing took off. The section ends with "Although various statistical methods for this test have been developed later, their original methods are still widely used.[24]" Reference 24 is Nei's recent book, Mutation-Driven Evolution, which generally dismisses the work of other scientists competing with Nei, including their methods to detect selection (see section 4.8, p. 81 and onward). I think this article should not cite Nei's book as evidence of how influential and important Nei is. Dabs (talk) 15:30, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
Please put references into inline format instead of hard coding
I've done the first two references as examples of

The text looks very similar to this from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Masatoshi-Nei/e/B001HP2QFE/ref=ntt_dp_epwbk_0. Should something be done about this? TomS TDotO (talk) 13:35, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

ALL the sources are primary
The long list of citations in the article is, remarkably given 6 years of cleanup and early warning of CoI editing by Nei himself, 100% primary. It's more than time that most of the primary sourcing was removed and replaced by secondary sources. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:34, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
