Taxonomic position of Foramininfera
Micropaleontologists, who actually work with forams, whether living or fossil, or having to do with their systematics or their ecology or paleoecology, most generally regard them as a taxonomic class, following Loeblich and Tappan, 1992. Prior to that most micropaleontologists regarded formaninifera as constituting an order, Foraminiferida.

As a scientist who studied micropaleontolgy and continues to do so, it seems prudent to stick with the better established than to go off with some set of hypothetical higher taxa. Protista works fine as a kingdom as does the descriptive term Granuloreticulosa for the phylum. J.H.McDonnell (talk) 23:01, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
