Orders of Phaeophyta

I have started creating articles for the Orders of the Phaeophyta. However, they are inevitably quite short and it might be better to include a section on taxonomy in this article instead, highlighting the principal charecteristics of each order and listing the Genera associated with each. Does anyone have any views as to which way might be best ? Velela 09:05, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

For the amount we have, I like what you've been doing, Velela. With your permission, though, I'd remove calling them the phylum Phaeophyta on each page. They don't show up that way in all systems (including the one the taxoboxes are using) and I don't think it helps to repeat the same thing for each order. Josh

Please put Chordariales back in, as the latest research showing it is paraphyletic is not wholely resolved--or if it is include this note. KP Botany 23:51, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

I entered "Heterokontophyta" as synonymous with "Phaeophyta" . It looks as if I will have to do some home-work. Will be interested in comments.Osborne 12:25, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
