[Cz-biology] Giant panda/naming

[Marielle]

The original reason I started this discussion was because I was midway
through a project to create pages for all the taxonomic divisions
order and up in the subphylum hexapoda.  Because I didn't feel
strongly about the options, I wanted your input.

>From the voting, it looks to be effectively a three way tie between
Scientific name (common name), Common name (scientific name) and
having the article under the scientific name and start the article
with the common name.

I have become a supporter of the latter.  Having the article under the
scientific name makes the system bot-friendly.  It also eliminates the
problem of a common name referring to multiple species.  Furthermore,
it eliminates the user friendliness problem by starting out the
article with the common name, which makes it clear what the organism
is usually called.  It also is a relatively clear and easy policy to
follow.

Because I think this policy is clearly superior, and because I would
like to complete my project in the near future, I'm going to be
adopting this policy.  I will restrict its usage to pages I create and
leave other pages alone.  If at any point a different policy is
adopted, others are welcome to fix my pages accordingly.

Anyway, thanks to all for participating in this discussion.  While we
didn't come to a consensus, I still think we made real progress.
