Talk:Taxonomy of scorpions

Taxonomy used
Should the taxonomy presented by Soleglad & Fet (2003) be used in the Scorpion articles here? Given the rather serious claims of bad science presented by Prendini & Wheeler (2005) accompanied by the publication of the Soleglad & Fet taxonomy in a non-peer reviewed journal created by the authors themselves, it seems like a situation to be discussed but not to be implemented into the taxonomies used here. Here is a link to the critical paper by P & W. -- Kev min  § 20:33, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Here is the taxonomy given in the Prendini & Wheeler(2005) paper.
