lincolnensis

Perhaps better making a Translingual entry out of Streptomyces lincolnensis instead of having one just for the specific name. Maybe the author meant that lincolnensis as itself is used in English to refer to this species of bacteria, but this is not clear from the definition. Kritixilithos (talk) 08:07, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Streptomyces#Hyponyms has lots of species listed, some of which point to Wiktionary (e.g. Streptomyces fradiae) and some to Wikispecies (e.g. Wikispecies:Streptomyces lavendulae). Wikispecies:Streptomyces has entries for maybe 5-10% of the species it lists. I don't see anything in WT:CFI about bacteria or any other forms of life for that matter, although it does mention chemical formulas. I don't see any great advantage to reinventing the wheel that Wikipedia does well and Wikispecies aspires to. Cheers, Facts707 (talk) 04:39, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Alternatively, make lincolnensis Translingual instead of English, which might seem to require a PoS Specific epithet – although we might stick with Adjective. Issues about the bi of binomial nomenclature keep arising; perhaps we should formulate some guidelines.

I have added a Translingual L2 section. Also, I removed the "definition", moving portions to the Etymology. I assume that the intended English definition is "a bacterium of the species Streptomyces lincolnensis". For now I have added {{rfd|en}} in place of a definition.

The cleaned-up English L2 section would warrant an RfV, which it would likely fail, no matter what the definition.

The question of inclusion of taxonomic names is a matter for, first, the Beer Parlor, then a vote. DCDuring (talk) 15:08, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
