[edit] Why the caps?

Many of the animal names linked from here are capitalized as if they were propper names. Why? -Harmil 13:12, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization), Wikipedia:Naming conventions (fauna), and Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life#Article titles and common names. Angr (talk • contribs) 16:02, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Phylogeny

Given the recent DNA analyses showing that cetaceans are related to ungulates (see article Cetartiodactyla), the scientific classification tree of Suidae needs to be updated. Any objections before this is done? Bytor 18:55, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Extinct Subfamilies/Genus/Species/Subspecies

Shouldn't they be added to the list, just to be informative? Just a question/suggestion. Eriorguez 12:05, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

I've added some, but unfortunately, I don't have a comprehensive list. (Which would be quite long, incidentally - there are probably at least six subfamilies!)Anaxial (talk) 13:26, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
