[edit] Expansion

In comparison to the other taxonomy articles, I think tihs one is the odd-man out. It's more like a dictionary definition than an encyclopedia article. To be clear though, I think it needs expansion more than deletion. FrozenPurpleCube 18:58, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Sure, it needs, at the very least, an historical section comparable to that in the articles about family and order (not sure if they're still present, there's a lot of changes since my last visit in August). Alexei Kouprianov 11:21, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Well, I added a brief primer for a historical section. Fabricius is to be mentioned too, as an example of early unconvetional usage in his classification of "Insects", but for now I retreat to check with the sources. Alexei Kouprianov 11:12, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Infraclass

The word "Infraclass" redirects here.
There is also a page for "Infraclass (Zoology)".
I'm not sure if "Infraclass" should redirect there, or if perhaps an "Infraclass (disambiguation)" page is called for. I'm not much of a biology expert, I just wanted to point out the issue.

[edit] Classes

Is there a list of all the Classes with average-bio-person definitions next to it (e.g. mammals, insects, reptiles etc...)

The article does not help in any way and it has been like that for a big while, hope it expands

I wish I can expand it but it is not my field —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.196.69.71 (talk) 23:04, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

--- Going through Phylum made me regret adding that section, sorry :D —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.196.69.71 (talk) 23:07, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

I would also like to see an expansion. Hopefully someone can put up some relative information soon.--DavidD4scnrt (talk) 20:22, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
