Clade or Order edit

Neogastropoda is recognized, accepted, as an Order in both WoRMS [1] and the ITIS Report [2], both checked May 18, 2013. So to be current as of at least May, 2013, Neogastropoda should be presented as a taxonomic order, not left as an unranked clade. The automatic taxobox is obsolete.

The Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005) recognizes the Neogastropoda as a clade. Even if WoRMS still classifies the Neogastropoda as an unassigned order, when you look in WoRMS in the section classification under Littorinimorpha, you can read : Tree of Life (based on Ponder & Lindberg, 1997 and on Strong, 2003) may be more realistic in using only Neogastropoda as a clade. Here WoRMS contradicts itself. Therefore we better stick to the Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). --JoJan (talk) 19:15, 18 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
