do you not understand the difference between scientific taxonomy and scientific nomenclature it isn't my job to explain it you should be able to google it easily enough the article you're citing is about taxonomy it asserts that scientific taxonomy is a renaissance codification of folk taxonomic principles it is not about nomenclature it has nothing whatsoever to say about nomenclature it does not make the connection between vernacular names and scientific names that you are claiming for it i understand this guettarda understands this fundamentally the raven paper is about higher taxa not species not binomials not related to this paragraph in any meaningful way casliber understands this i have to concur with guettarda and hesperian it doesn't touch on the issue of binomial names really at all i intend to continue removing unsourced material and in particular putatively sourced material that fails verification i have no objection to you referring the matter to wikipedia arbitration hesperian
