- ... that a superseded combination is not the same as a synonym and technically should not be called one?

- Too easy! ALT1: ... that a superseded combination is not a synonym for a synonym? :P theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 22:02, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- New enough (July 8), long enough (1600 B), well-sourced, copyvio-free. Hook fact verified in source. I would go with ALT1, as long as Awkwafaba likes it. — Vigilant Cosmic Penguin 🐧 (talk | contribs) 04:59, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
- ALT1 is great. Thanks for the help. awkwafaba (📥) 13:26, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
Notice?
editThe lead uses the phrase ... notice of change ...
. Is the SC the old name in the case where a name has been changed, or is the SC some form of notice issued by some formal body? If it is a notice, how is it created and sent? — GhostInTheMachine talk to me 20:00, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- It's like a label for the name. It is not a formal scroll posted anywhere or anything like that. You will see lists of alternate scientific names for a species tagged with 'superseded combination' or 'obligate junior synonym' or the like. That specific phrasing as a 'notice' was taken from the cited sources.
- Was it not clear from the example that the superseded combination is the old (wikt:superseded) name? How can i make the example clearer? awkwafaba (📥) 14:04, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- I think that the word "notice" should be removed as misleading. The article is not about parchment nailed to a door in a basement somewhere, but is about the previous name itself. I had never heard of a basionym so that sentence was a mystery to me. The example for a subsequent rename is rather confusing, I find myself wanting a diagram... — GhostInTheMachine talk to me 21:06, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
