Article title
Kim, this kind of major move really needs to be discussed in advance. I also don't see how this new title respects CZ's naming conventions ("prefer common names"). Unless this is some decision within the Biology Workgroup? John Stephenson 21:35, 24 October 2007 (CDT)
- Please, see the discussion at the Bioloy workgroup talk page. 21:46, 24 October 2007 (CDT)
- Quick check of current practice in the use of scientific and common names in the real world.
- Looking at the title of articles listed in Biological abstracts ,
- Quick check of current practice in the use of scientific and common names in the real world.
there are 150 instances of Giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca). 181 of just Giant pandas, 3 of just Ailuropoda melanoleuca, and zero of Ailuropoda melanoleuca (Giant Panda)
- Obviously, the use inside article will be more varied. But I think this demonstrates that the present Citizendium title,
"Ailuropoda melanoleuca (Giant Panda)" is unique to Citizendium and not the practice in any other context. DavidGoodman 09:48, 25 October 2007 (CDT)
