Linea 493:
::::For reference: Linnaeus, in his catalog ''Species Plantarum,'' put genus-names in ALL CAPS ROMAN and species-names in ''italics'' (in the margin). I don't know how he set such things in running text. ¶ If a single text uses "felis" (the common name) and "Felis" (the genus) and sets them both roman, some readers may be confused. Setting the latter in italics might reinforce the idea that "Felis" is something quite different from "felis." [[Usor:IacobusAmor|IacobusAmor]] 05:05, 21 Martii 2009 (UTC)
:I agree with Iacobi, the group names should be in roman, the species (i running tekst) in italic: see: [[Didelphis]], [[Usor:Hendricus|Hendricus]] 05:39, 21 Martii 2009 (UTC)
::Hello Hendrice. No, it wasn't because of bad Latin; more because of geography (if I remember rightly).
::"Britannia" (Britain) includes "Anglia", "Scotia" and "Cambria" (England, Scotland and Wales). In general, for scientific specialists, I put the English, the Scottish and the Welsh together as "Eruditi Britanniae", "Biologi Britanniae" (etc.). But it's quite OK to separate them if you prefer to do this. I don't object! <font face="Gill Sans">[[Usor:Andrew Dalby|Andrew]]<font color="green">[[Disputatio Usoris:Andrew Dalby| Dalby]]</font></font> 13:32, 7 Aprilis 2009 (UTC)
