The fauna pages were an area of the 'pedia where there was no longer any contention, and no ill-feeling. Until your unilaterial "I don't care about the consensus, I'm going to do it my way" decision the other day, it was an area where everybody was working together happily and productively. Now, PLEASE, get out of the road and let those of us who are doing the work *do* the work.
Do look in a mirror. Did Tannin not notice that because of conflicting authorities, I chose to leave the bird pages alone. There's more than enough to correct in the mammalian and other fauna that I can wait until I have stronger authorities before I do anything to the birds. I guess he just chose not to read that point. It might have hndered his tantrum of self-righteous indignation. Nobody has been in your road, Tannin.. Go ahead with your work; just stop whinging about about my corrections.
Previous discussion on the mailing list focussed on birds, and I agree that a rough consenus for capitalisation was reached, at least among contributors likely to work on those articles. But if any compromise was reached that included mammals etc, then we haven't seen it on the mailing list yet. A citation of such discussion elsewhere would be helpful.
