Notes:
 * The code is present here...perl script. It is self sufficient, but requires the user to download each range and rename them A-C.html and so forth and the proxy settings need be changed for your proxy (if present).
 * This could be done without any manual input, but my coding skills are not that good (I have managed to use "post" correctly with wikipedia in Perl.
 * Just press edit section, copy between nowiki, go back and click the link and paste. Read around on LPSN, on pubmed abstracts or on IJSEM if you want to write more! If not it should be fine.
 * Not sure what to do about formatting. the etymology looks ugly. comments more than welcome!
 * D-Z will be uploaded shortly (in the week).
 * only error warning to worry about is emendations which is caused by someone emending the description, such as changing the type species etc. e.g. the genus name may be an old basonym (very few are and the ones which are names that have been deemed unacceptable such as the old genus Bacterium (c.f. BC app. 9) are not present)
 * I wrote some articles as general go-tos:
 * bacterial phyla as there were some phyla missing and if someone searches a candidate phylum that will appear in the search.
 * Bacterial taxonomy as there are some obscure rules, regulations and habits (such as the process required for a discovery.
 * List of bacterial genera named after personal names, List of bacterial genera named after mythological figures, List of bacterial genera named after geographical names, List of bacterial genera named after institutions
 * A History of Bacteriology would be good but have no time (possible sources for copypaste: Microbiology, Bacterial taxonomy, Archaea and Bacteria etc.)
