Category:Scientific classificiation or Category:classification systems? Linnaean taxonomy is the only member of both cats anyway. ThunderkatzHo! 15:39, 4 October 2007 (EDT)

It should be a classification system, although it is a bit out dated.-- I am the AlphaTimSand the Omega!. 15:40, 4 October 2007 (EDT)

Do we need either as a cat, just biology'd do for me. How many systems are there? Susantalk to me 22:38, 5 October 2007 (EDT)
I agree, "biology" is enough. Also, I am wondering what the value is of that monstrous section "Taxonomic ranks" - it should at least come last, so people can see there's more text to read before hitting it. Perhaps even very last as an "appendix"? ħumanUser talk:Human 22:23, 23 July 2008 (EDT)

Huw Answer[edit]

Capitalization is always used for most names of taxa used in scientific classification of living things, except for species-level taxa or below. Example: Homo sapiens sapiens.

Hope it helps. --71.8.59.31 22:30, 29 July 2008 (EDT)

Ah, thanks for trying ;) I meant the words kingdom, phyla, etc., not specific (hah!) ones. Although, I do think you are answering the question I really had, since my memory was vague. Thanks! ħumanUser talk:Human 22:38, 29 July 2008 (EDT)
