message: Does anyone know quite where the dispute over the gender of "papilio" originated?  Lewis & Short and the Oxford Latin Dictionary both have it as masculine only, and its modern derivative in French is also masculine.  (The Spanish and Italian words for "butterfly" are feminine but appear unrelated to the Latin word.)  A Latin gender mnemonic also has "papilio" as masculine ( http://www.inrebus.com/mnemoniclatin.php ).  I didn't notice in L&S or OLD any note on any controversy about the word's gender (though maybe I missed something) and I'd have thought that in Linnaeus' day, people would have known Latin well enough to know it was masculine, so where did the myth of its femininity originate?  Was it that Spanish and Italian scientists wanted it to be feminine, or that people felt butterflies simply ought to be feminine, or that they believed all Latin nouns ending "io" had to be feminine? 82.153.39.9 (talk) 08:49, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: It's tempting for a botanist to conclude that zoologists just didn't know Latin! Compare the list of species at Macroglossum with that at Himantoglossum, for example. Peter coxhead (talk) 11:19, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

message: It would be more informative for casual readers and scientists alike to have all 6 principles of the Code discussed centrally in one article. Principle of the First Reviser should redirect to International Code of Zoological Nomenclature#Principle of the First Reviser --Animalparty-- (talk) 00:54, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The "six principles" of the ICN (see ) are different. The ICZN's principles have their equivalents in the ICN but are often subtly different and anyway have to be discussed using different terminology. Thus both the zoological and botanical codes use a principle of priority, but to discuss it in detail requires the use of terminology restricted to each code, e.g. "junior synonym" for the ICZN or "effective publication" for the ICN. There's no "principle of the first reviser" in the ICN, although Article 11.5 amounts to much the same thing. Peter coxhead (talk) 20:07, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

message: your de-capitalization is not in line with established usage and alters the sense in some cases. For example, the "Principle of Priority" is not a general principle of priority, but a very specific rule in the ICZN, as per Article 23. The ICN (the botanical code) also has a principle of priority, but it is not the ICZN's Principle of Priority. "Priority" here has a very precise, legalistic meaning, not a general meaning.
