Talk:Primoplantae

Color of taxobox
I chose this color for the taxobox because it's the color used in the box for Eukaryota, and Primoplantae includes both plants in the narrow sense and some protist groups. Maybe we could use this color for other eukaryotic supergroups that comprise both protist species and other kingdoms (e.g. opisthokonts).

Since Primoplantae is largely a "plant" group, the alternative is to color the box light green. Cephal-odd 20:39, 10 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Good start with references, clear information, enough information to merit an article, and etc., etc. There shouldn't be both this and the article Archaeplastida, rather one article and a redirect from one to the other.  Archaeplastida is used more than Primoplantae, and may wind up being the accepted name, so is probably a better choice for now, although this article of yours is the more useful article.  My inclination would be to use Archaeplastida as the title and this as the text and use this as a redirect to Archaeplastida.


 * I personally think using beige for organisms that are protists, but also belong to another group, as about half of the protists do, is a good idea, although I tried to gain consensus or feedback on this issue and failed. I will simply do the same thing you did and add a note, as there is no feedback or other solution offered, and yours is usable and can be clarified in the text easily and added to the Taxobox explanations page.

Merge with Archaeplastida
Merge: There doesn't seem to be any difference in meaning between these two words - if so one should be a redirect to the other. There is currently more good material at Primoplantae than Archaeplastida, but I didn't compare in enough detail to say whether there is text which is only in the latter which is worth keeping.
