Orders in taxobox do not agree with orders in navbox
The orders in the taxobox do not seem to be agreeing with the orders in the navbox which I seem to trust more (based on their endings). --kupirijo (talk) 10:37, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Myxogastria
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Myxogastria's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "now": From Prototrichia metallica: (in German) Wolfgang Nowotny: Beiträge zur Kenntnis der Myxomyceten Oberösterreichs V In: Linzer biologische Beiträge, 22:1, pp.100-102, 1990 From Hypothallus: Wolfgang Nowotny: Myxomyceten (Schleimpilze) und Mycetozoa (Pilztiere) - Lebensformen zwischen Tier und Pflanze In: { {BibISBN|3854740565|pages=7–37}} 

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 11:50, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Suggestions and queries
Suggestions and queries:
 * "formerly known as Myxomycota"; add ", when they were classed as fungi".
 * Not sure if this is correct either


 * "They are colloquially known as plasmodial or acellular slime molds": add "because they..."
 * Does not seem to be correct


 * "The continuous classification of new taxa reveals that the group is not carefully examined." Explain why would this be so?


 * " 305 were only discovered in a single location or groupings." What are "groupings?"
 * The plural of grouping? Not sure what you are asking me


 * Section "Range" actually discusses classifications, not ranges.
 * No?


 * "The typical color of the spore mass becomes visible through the structure." A brief explanation is needed, why this should be so.


 * "After their development, the spores first receive a diploid nucleus." Germination is being discussed: is germination refered to here, or is there an undescribed "development"?
 * Is this better?


 * ''germinable". Is this French? What's the standard verb for this feature in English
 * It is English


 * "Myxamoebae move amoeboidly on (meaning on the substrate crawling) and are produced in rather dry conditions. " Impenetrable. I won't go through the rest of the article.--Wetman (talk) 16:41, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, participles ≠ English. I reworded it slightly--Kürbis (✔) 11:01, 10 September 2012 (UTC)


 * These are all good comments. Amusingly, my own comments along the same lines ("impenetrable" -- good word!) were deleted because I put them in the wrong place. Apparently this article is a translation into English of an article in German.  With some rewriting it could be made more understandable and encyclopedic.  72.179.53.2 (talk) 21:02, 9 September 2012 (UTC) Eric
 * No probs. Next time be careful where you write. Regards.--Kürbis (✔) 11:01, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
