This is actually a class according to DSMZ and Wikispecies. Is there a good reason it is listed under Phyla?Haplodiploid75 (talk)14:56, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think this detailed section is not at all helpful in a general encyclopaedia article on bacteria. All those red links provide little to no information, and many of the blue ones are just stubs. This information should go inBacterial phyla and a {{see main}} link left behind. This is a Featured Article, which is at risk ofWP:FAR if the standard continues to decline.Graham Beards (talk)07:26, 16 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The goal of theWikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Vital Signs 2026 campaign is to bring all 101 top-importance articles—including this one—up to at leastB-class quality. Many of these articles are widely read but overdue for review, so even small improvements can have a big impact.
If you watch or edit this article, your help would be very welcome. You can:
To reach B class, articles should have: suitable referencing, reasonable coverage, a clear structure, good prose, helpful illustrations, and be understandable to a broad audience. Contributions of any size are appreciated.Femke (talk)16:00, 20 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
