Talk:Linnaean taxonomy

Additional taxonomic categories
The species article included the additional taxonomic(?) categories of Subphylum, Suborder, Superfamily, Subfamily, and Subspecies. Do these belong under "Linnaean taxonomy", and thus should they be discussed here? Or do they fall under something else? --Ryguasu 08:08 Jan 11, 2003 (UTC)

"Cling to"
" . . . some botanists still cling to this rank . . ." Isn't that a bit strong? How about, ". . . some botanists still prefer this rank . . ." ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.0.58.18 (talk) 07:32, 5 February 2006‎ (UTC)

clarification needed about alternatives
One can read "linked together to construct a phylogeny. This is largely what is meant by the term 'Linnaean taxonomy'" (under section "Alternatives"). I consider that the word "This" (in "phylogeny. This is largely") needs a clarification. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.238.112.155 (talk) 12:41, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

Potentially obsolote?
with cladistics this could be considered outdated 2800:2145:B400:56A:7820:394C:C043:83D5 (talk) 19:35, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Absolutely not. Trivially, even under the PhyloCode, species are named using Linnaean binomials, but more significantly, all the major taxonomic databases use multiple Linnaean ranks – just follow the links in the taxonbars in any article about an extant taxon.
