[Cz-biology] How to settle the naming issue

[Larry Sanger]

All,

Here is something I posted, speaking as Editor-in-Chief, on the "Giant
Panda" talk page:

http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Talk:Giant_Panda_%28Ailuropoda_melanoleuca%29
#Article_title 

I want to stipulate, for future reference, that this sort of thing is a
decision to be made by the Biology Workgroup.  It is not really appropriate
to try to use particular CZ talk pages to settle general policy questions.

Consequently, it has *not* been settled that the English name will go before
the Latin name, and it most certainly is not up to a non-biologist to make
the determination what has or has not been settled.  Kim would be well
within her rights, as biology editor, to move the article back to its
previous name.  To settle the question, a biology editor should take a poll
of other active biology editors on a precise question, present me with the
result, and I will announce the result.

Does that sound reasonable as a stopgap decision method?
