Talk:List of placental mammals

message: This really should be reorganized phylogenetically.  Even if Wikipedia doesn't have a "List of members of cetiartiodactyla", it is Wikipedia's responsibility as an encyclopedia to at least display the information in the most complete and correct way.  As it is, its just a mishmash of names.
A seperate but related proposition is that we reorganize the names to comply with most recent phylogenetic studies, such as Benton, 2005; Pough et. al 2004; Flynn et. al 1998; Arnason et. al 2002; Feldhamer et al. 2007; Gatesy et. al 2001; Szalay et. al 1993;  Roca et. al 2004; Matthee et. al. 2001; Milinkovitch et. al 1994; Wiens et. al 2008; and the Tree of Life.

message: Is it really necessary to have both the common name and the scientific name set up as links on the same page?  Since both names refer to exactly the same animal, won't one of them end up as a redirect to the other anyway?  (See pink fairy armadillo, for example.) A. J. A. DeWitt 00:40, 5 May 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: In the long run, it probally is not necessary to have both names be links.  When I started revamping this page, I didn't have both as links.  I started putting in links for the scientific name, when I realized that there were articles for some of the animals in question using different common names than the one my sources used.  I thought that the existance of a re-direct link from the scientifc name would clue me in to a different common name, after all, no one would create an article on an animal and not create the redirect, right?  It hasn't worked out that way.  It turns out that the link from the scientific name usually tells me that we are missing the redirect.  I suppose that once article and redirects exist for all of the species, it would be best to get rid of the redunant  links.  Until then I, at least find them usufull. Dsmdgold 05:53, 5 May 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: It is quite handy to make sure that both the common name as well as the taxonomic name have a link - the taxonomic one of course the redirect to the common name. andy 17:50, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
