Taxacom: Protists

[Tony Rees]

Hi Alastair, Scott, all,

Scott has replicated this discussion in a place where it can be continued
as Wikispecies-specific, at
https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fspecies.wikimedia.org%2Fwiki%2FUser%3AFaendalimas%2FProtists&data=04%7C01%7Ctaxacom%40lists.ku.edu%7Caef80e3e11eb4674bae908d9f2996573%7C3c176536afe643f5b96636feabbe3c1a%7C0%7C0%7C637807562927093609%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=F1YeHGr2Z7HHnYGhlRXWZ8Q9nfErSLiPZG5UDjzxSn0%3D&reserved=0 . I have added
a new note at the end. Alastair or other interested parties, if you wish to
contribute further, that would be a good place to do it :)

Regards - Tony
