Xiphosura update edit

Hi Louisnastasi, you will notice I have reverted your changes to the various Xiphosura articles based on Ballesteros and Sharma (2019). This kind of wholesale change should be discussed first before implementation. We do not usually re-arrange major taxonomic documentation on the basis of a single primary source (i.e. original research paper), but wait for the findings to be discussed and generally accepted in the scientific community. Otherwise Wikipedia would find itself chasing its own tail with every new genomics paper! This finding is certainly interesting and it merits mention, but I would suggest it is better suited for a sentence or two in the taxonomy/phylogeny sections of the affected articles, than prominently and authoritatively in the lede. Please feel free to start a discussion about this, maybe at Talk:Xiphosura? Cheers --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 22:38, 28 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
