Yes, I do bing my baggage with me. That is normal. Yes, it was only mav
who was strongly negative. But give me credit, I do, and say so
publicly, admire the effort that goes into the ToL. A lot of good people
put a genuine effort in it and the quality is of an increasingly high
standard.
With regard to the Taxobox, the nl:wikipedia uses something like the
current en:taxobox. The one thing we do not like is the compulsary label
of "binominal name" / "trinominal name" that is really redundant. But
as
no discussion was possible, we did not come to a unified taxon box. This
is a real shame. The internationalisation with the use of messages like
{{regnum}} was a great improvement. This does help the placement of
taxoboxes on the nl:wikipedia a lot. With the latest iteration it became
a lot more difficult to use the Taxobox. Discussions on the new taxobox
format are ongoing on nl:
I would think that wikipedia and the ToL is not the best place to have
all taxonomic data. It would result in extreme cases in 100 referalls to
one plant. All 100 valid scientific publications with discrete names. I
would keep the ToL like it is; an article for a currently valid name. A
link from within ToL to Wikispecies would be great. The reason is that
the public for wikipedia is a different public for wikispecies.
Therefore ToL and Wikispecies will complement each other rather than
that one takes away from the other.
