Rename[edit]

The title is not exactly correct (there are old species descriptions that are merely illustrations) and the following have been suggested "Description (biology)" and "Description (taxonomy)". To this can be added the suggestion of "Species description" or "New species description" - the former would be more encompassing since it can include redescriptions. The current text states that these are a subset of "scientific papers" but obviously that refers to the modern concept. Shyamal (talk) 12:42, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing that out. I've moved the page to the more appropriate all-encompassing "Species description". Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:08, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
