Article for each group of virus

It might be good to have a separated article for each group of viruses (dsDNA, ssDNA, dsRNA, ...) with a taxobox each. This is done in eukarya, bacteria, archaea, and so on, where each phylum, classis, etc, has its own article. 91.117.48.173 (talk) 20:12, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
