I moved the page Pakicetids to Pakicetid since that's the singular form of the word. The page should really be moved to Pakicetidae or Pakicetinae, but I wasn't sure what the consensus was of those involved with this page. Are we recognizing full family status for this group or are we treating it as a subfamily of Protocetidae? The term pakicetid is just a way of referring a member of the family Pakicetidae and the technical family name would be the more appropriate home for this page. --Aranae 04:31, Jan 21, 2005 (UTC)
