Thirdly, [[Alchanna]] is an obsolete medieval Latin name that can not be put on a par with either 'cypros' or 'Lawsonia inermis'. What is more, it is ambiguous: in the spelling 'Alkanna' it nowadays denotes an altogether different plant-genus. I intended [[Alchanna]] as a kind of disambiguation-page (which we might bring out more explicitly) to either [[Cypros]] (''Lawsonia inermis'') or ''[[Alkanna (genus)|Alkanna]]'' (a page still waiting to be written. --[[Usor:Fabullus|Fabullus]] 09:17, 10 Novembris 2009 (UTC)
:The world of science has bestowed upon the Latin language the honor of being the language in which all forms of living beings are named, and in which, through those names, all forms are classified in systematic relationships with each other. Accordingly, a responsible Latin encyclopedia will have an article on each form, under its accepted scientific name. To omit certain of these articles might be considered equivalent to removing random bricks from a wall: the effect, indeed, if not too many bricks are removed, may not be drastic enough to bring the wall down, but the action will nevertheless weaken the wall and mar its appearance. Vicipaedia is an encyclopedia of the real world, not just an encyclopedia of the ancient one. In the evolution of science, laternewer is better; and for the purposes of science, scientific names therefore take precedence over names that represent ancient (mis)understandings. That's not to say, of course, that ancient (mis)understandings don't deserve their own articles! For example, we have an article on [[Flacourtiaceae]] (see [[:en:Flacourtiaceae]]), a defunct family of angiosperms; to reassemble under this name the genera & species that have now been distributed into other families would be irresponsible, but to do so would be similar to the effect of placing modern species under old & sometimes vague or inexact names used in ancient times.

::I've had little time to spare in the last few days so I haven't studied carefully yet, but I am worried, too, by some recent moves. Two questions are in my mind:
Linea 39:
:::Macte, Rafael. I couldn't have written that better myself. I might emphasize that articles on classical taxonomy should also be welcome, because classical (mis)understandings of reality, being historical facts in themselves, may deserve recognition, but it seems axiomatic that they shouldn't ''replace'' the realities of modern science. ¶ Meanwhile, Andrew having deleted the article on ''Lawsonia inermis,'' where do we go to read about ''Lawsonia inermis''? (Say, where's the history of the deleted page?) [[Usor:IacobusAmor|IacobusAmor]] 15:15, 11 Novembris 2009 (UTC)
::::Shome mishtake shurely. The page is [http://la.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lawsonia_inermis&redirect=no].

::::::I suspected the historia might survive somewhere! In cases where the process of editing deletes it, though, perhaps it were better to direct your complaint to the programmers who made such deletion possible. Unfortunately, they seem lately to be an unresponsive lot, as none of them has responded to my requests (in Taberna) that they correct how taxoboxes are misprinting.

:::::Lawsonia inermis should be redirected to [[Cypros (arbustum)]], or vice versa - as Iacobus wants -, not to [[Alchanna]], which is a kind of disambiguation-page to either [[Lawsonia inermis]] or [[Alkanna tinctoria]]. --[[Specialis:Conlationes/86.88.177.214|86.88.177.214]] 17:18, 11 Novembris 2009 (UTC)
