[Taxacom] Does the species name have to change when it movesgenus?

unfortunately, of course, it isn't the act of copy-and-paste which means anything, it is what you choose to copy-and-paste (just as it isn't the act of writing with a pen or keyboard that matters, but what one writes) ...

Yes, for new taxa that are glamorous enough, this may work out very
well. Wikipedia draws a lot of attention (at the top of Google lists)
and thus generates a lot of attention. Making an entire article available
should guarantee a good Wikipedia article; if there is one skill that 
the average Wikipedian is sure to have mastered it is that of 
copy-and-paste.
