Proposal for a wikipedia journal

I think this demonstrates wikipedia is feeling the effects of its anyone can scribble on anything policy. It also demonstrates that we do not have the luxury of sitting on our duffs and waiting for the world to finally agree that CZ is the place to contribute. Changing wikipedia's culture of scribble might be hard, but it is not impossible. We have to innovate and keep ahead if we want to survive. Dan Nessett 16:16, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Potential partner for biological taxonomy

"The PhyloCode is a formal set of rules governing phylogenetic nomenclature. It is designed to name the parts of the tree of life by explicit reference to phylogeny. The PhyloCode will go into operation in a few years, but the exact date has not yet been determined. It is designed so that it may be used concurrently with the existing codes based on rank-based nomenclature (ICBN, ICZN, etc.). We anticipate that many people whose research concerns phylogeny will find phylogenetic nomenclature advantageous." Given that the CZ:Biology Workgroup has not yet arrived at a consensus on how to name articles about taxonomic entitities (especially species), this may be a good resource to look at. --Daniel Mietchen 13:47, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
