Lancefield grouping

Re: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lancefield_grouping&oldid=1210678286 : System for classifying bacteria

1. Are Streptococcus bacteria or not?
2. Wikipedia:Short_description#SDJARGON: avoid jargon, and use simple, readily comprehensible terms that do not require pre-existing detailed knowledge of the subject

Yes, streptococci are bacteria but "System for classifying bacteria" sounds like Lancefield Grouping is used for all bacterial genera. But it's not. How about "System for classifying streptococci bacteria"?Graham Beards (talk) 07:00, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

I have posted on the ANI noticeboard about Fabrickator.

Thanks for all your awesome actions, not least the undoing of Fabrickator's atrocious reversion of my edit. I've posted here: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Please ban Fabrickator from interacting with me. Polar Apposite (talk) 21:37, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Proposed move Nudivirus to Nudiviridae

About 2 weeks ago, I proposed to move the page Nudivirus to Nudiviridae (see Talk:Nudivirus), but there has been only one reaction so far. Could you help as a virologist? Bernhard Zelazny (talk) 12:02, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

I have commented there. Graham Beards (talk) 12:10, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
