[edit] Web links for taxonomy

There are separate web links listed for the Margulis & Schwartz classification and Cavalier-Smith's classification, but the two links are identical. Also the link associated with Cavalier-Smith refers to him as Cavalier-Jones. Is there a reason for this? Cephal-odd 17:00, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

The different classification schemes in the Taxonomicon are tabs on the page, and you can only link to the page, not the individual tabs. I added a bit instruction to the links on how to find the classifications. As for the name, it looks like a typo (that I may have made last year). The Taxonomicon does list him as Cavalier-Smith. -- Donald Albury 18:52, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing out the different tabs on the Taxonomicon. I didn't realize the website had that feature. Cheers, Cephal-odd 04:44, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tail fin for propulsion

"Chaetognaths swim using their tail fin for propulsion" can anybody cite a source for this statement? I have found information to the contrary "Tail fin is...with no musculature and therefore incapable of swimming movements."Phylum Chaetognatha: Wesley R. Elsberry although I'm not certain of the reliability of this source. 71.222.194.78 07:01, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
