Why quotation marks

Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (titles)#Italics, genera and lower taxa should be italics, but this article incorrectly uses quotation marks in addition to italics. Please fix. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:57, 11 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

The use is intentional, to emphasize the fact that the name is not available according to the nomenclatural Code. Turvey's 2009 book Holocene Extinctions also places the name within quotation marks. Ucucha 00:01, 12 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

OK, thanks for the clarification. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:13, 12 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

I just added a DEFAULTSORT without the quotation marks. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 15:49, 26 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
