Just spotted the (nice!) graphic to the right. Shouldn't it be "the hierarchy of taxonomic classification" rather than scientific? --Nereo Preto 15:24, 4 September 2007 (CDT)

  • Perhaps, taxonomy, however, is a well founded science within biology, so I would feel that scientific is as correct as taxonomic. Its just a word that is a bit less specific, but I think that I do see your point (while writing this just now...) that the figure doesn't really display the entire collection of scientific classification systems that we know today, so I'll change it.
