• Comment: This looks suspiciously like the verboten US vs. UK editwarring. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 22:57, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

• Has any reason been offered for this move? None is apparent here, and there is no link to any other explanation. --Stemonitis 10:41, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

It would appear, judging from the German Wikipedia, that Mycetozoea is a class within the larger (rankless) taxon Mesomycetozoa. WP:TOL rules are to use the lowest rank available, and it makes sense to favour primary ranks over secondary ranks or rankless taxa. It was requested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it be moved. --Stemonitis 06:25, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

I believe this article should be renamed to Ichthyosporea because it is the name preferred by the most recent scientific literature. --kupirijo (talk) 11:04, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Possible fossils

nature.com has this article on fossils with similarities to this form. If someone can link the research paper here, that would be good.(mercurywoodrose)75.61.135.151 (talk) 18:19, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

Mesomycetozoea → Ichthyosporea – I think it is pretty obvious that Ichthyosporea is the preferred name used for this taxonomic group, especially in the last decade. Almost all literature regarding Holozoan taxa describes it as Ichthyosporea, not Mesomycetozoea. It also is the oldest name and therefore has preference. Consensus can be seen in here at WP:TOL. This is a contested technical request (permalink). —Snoteleks 🦠 13:47, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

Moreover, Mesomycetozoea is wikilinked a total of 78 times while Ichthyosporea is linked 148 times. —Snoteleks 🦠 11:23, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

Support. The article was created soon after Mendoza's review and it seemed a reasonable proposal for a class that was not just fish parasites, but twenty years later the name clearly hasn't caught on. For once a Cavalier-Smith name survives. —  Jts1882 | talk  12:08, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

Honestly I was surprised by how many names from Cavalier-Smith are retained in the ISP's eukaryote revision of 2019. Even though his higher classification is pretty much rejected, he named so many new lower taxa in groups like excavates, podiates and rhizarians that he is still very present. —Snoteleks 🦠 12:33, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
