Amitosis[edit]
I agree that there are problems with the amitosis article - for a start it reads as an advocacy piece (fails WP:NPOV), but I am not sure your alternative was correct. While perhaps part of the problem is imprecise usage of the term amitosis, on a quick perusal of Google Scholar amitotic division of (most) ciliate macronuclei seems to be well substantiated. The same applies to endopolyploidy in some tissues in some taxa. And then there are things like pachytene chromosomes, the parasexual cycle and coencytic organisms like Caulerpa and aseptate fungal hyphae. A lot of stuff this be better considered as modified or irregular mitosis.
I don't know personally know enough to do a proper rewrite of the article.
You can add your concerns to the article talk page - this may not be any more effective than your appeal to the project, but it at least places your concerns where they're more visible. You have the option of adding the POV and/or disputed template to the articles.
Some bacterial species have two or three chromosomes, so they presumably have the same problem of including a complete genome in each daughter cell that eukaryotes have. Lavateraguy (talk) 10:46, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
