This page is very helpful.I agree. I'm glad this page was added.


Is there a certain code to make taxobox? other than { { taxobox } } etc.

[edit] Classification, nomenclature, and science

A classification is most emphatically not a scientific hypothesis. It is not testable. All manner of splitting and lumping can be done even if everyone agrees on the shape of the phylogenetic tree and even if everyone agrees on whether or not to use which paraphyletic taxa. None of the three codes of Linnean nomenclature requires any science (such as phylogenetics) to be done before proposing a new classification.

Wouldn't it be better to use the latest classification of Prokaryotes, Archeas and Eukaryotes? Lord Metroid 16:28, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
