message: There was a recent edit switching things around, stating that the term is most comonly used to unite the two orders at a superordinal level instead of uniting the two into a single order.  I have seen almost no incident where the term is used uniting them at a superordinal level, but there was a period where it seemed almost half the issues of Systematic Biology were using the term to refer to the unification into a single order.  There were also other odd changes such as instead of calling Cetartiodactyla a clade, the edit called it a "phylogeny".  Mostly it seemed to be an edit from an informed user so I thought it would be prudent to explain my reversion.  --Aranae 16:33, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Arnason et. al. (2004) officially coined Cetancodonta to include Ancodonta (anthracotheres and hippos) and Cetacea. Their genetic analyses provide greater support for the clade Cetruminantia Waddell et. al., 1999, a clade erected to include not only cetancodonts but also ruminants. Cetartiodactyla includes not only cetruminants but also suines and tylopods. The clade Suina is closer to Cetruminantia than to Tylopoda. For this reason, the Taxobox should be updated.

thread_title:  Higher-level of modern cetartiodactyls 

message: Hello? Hi. I'm just finished making the article (Suina). Can someone edit it and suggest ideas to me on my userpage or on Talk:Suina? Thanks :) 4444hhhh 02:43, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

message: This section of "A clade apart" doesn't make sense: "However, the most recent theory into the origins of hippopotamidae suggests that hippos and whales shared a common semi-aquatic ancestor that branched off from other Artiodactyls around 60 million years ago.[1][2] This hypothesized ancestral group likely split into two branches around 54 million years ago.[3] One branch would evolve into cetaceans, possibly beginning with the proto-whale Pakicetus from 52 million years ago with other early whale ancestors collectively known as Archaeoceti, which eventually underwent aquatic adaptation into the completely aquatic cetaceans.[4] Thus, Cetartiodactyla is supported as a monophyletic group."  First of all, Pakicetus seem to fall under Archaeoceti, and thus are not a separate branch.  Secondly, this discusses two (alleged) cetacean branches, but no hippo branches, and thus does not support the "however" that begins the section or the conclusion in the last sentence.
