[edit] Human Nomenclature

Not even a glancing mention of the nomenclature of human beings anywhere on wikipedia? The origin of given and familial names? Come on! --The reverend 06:16, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deleted links

Before I deleted the following, I added links to the appropriate articles and made sure they already referred to the websites:

[edit] Etymology

I wasn't aware there was a Latin etymology for this one; what I've known so far is that "nomenclature" stems from the Greek ονοματοκλήτωρ, which means "name caller". Etz Haim 20:25, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Vegetables??

Regnum vegetabile is translated as 'Kingdom of plants', not as 'Kingdom of vegetables'. The latter sounds more like a television program on cooking. Wikiklaas 23:36, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Binomials

A binomial consists of a genus name and a specific epithet, not a descriptor. The specific epithet is essence doesn't describe anything. There's even a specific epithet for a mollusc constructed of the vowels: iouae. - Wikiklaas 13:24, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] POV?

It seems to me that this page focuses too much on biologial nomenclature, and adds all the others as an afterthought. I believe it would be more reasonable to have an article about biological nomenclature (of which binomial is only one example), and make this page more of a disambiguation page. (I'm a plant taxonomist by training, btw, so this isn't any kind of anti-biology rant.)--Curtis Clark 18:28, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Additions by User:Tuganax

As well-written as these additions are, I am reluctantly reverting them, since they pertain to a subset of biological nomenclature only, and so in the context of this article are POV. If any of the information is missing in Scientific classification or Binomial nomenclature, it should be added there.--Curtis Clark 14:42, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Section Titles

Should they be blue linked? If they should, then all disambig pages should not have headlines except ==See also==.68.148.164.166 (talk) 06:41, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
