I added Williamsoceras Flower 1968, an endocerid to the Ws Still lots of genera to write about. Anyone out there.

Question

Is all that stuff on naming conventions and terminology really necessary here, or does it belong in relevant pages convering taxonomy in general. It seems that what might be directly relevant could be said more briefly, the rest is filler.

User:J.H.McDonnell 2/19/09

The "Naming conventions and terminology" section was essentially copied from the list of dinosaurs. I'd hoped that information on the status of various taxa (e.g. nomina nuda) would eventually be added. However, since the list doesn't currently use this terminology, the section might as well be commented out for the time being. The same applies to many related lists such as list of ammonites. mgiganteus1 (talk) 19:10, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
