[edit]

Does it make any sense to have this page? Perhaps we could only mention classic examples of classified species. Simply listing the hundreds of thoursands of species that were classified in the past century does not make sense. What is the criteria for inclusion of a species in this list?

I know that people who edit this site are pretty big into science, but the average wikipedia user does not speak fluent latin and would therefore have no clue what any of this means. Why don't we stick to conventional names for animals as opposed to their scientific names; there is a reason why we see scientific names in parentheses beneath the common name in literally ever source ever. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.29.155.240 (talk) 04:43, August 27, 2007 (UTC)
