Why you should keep this page
Though scientists have included the word biosphere in the name Rare Biosphere, it is not meant to refer to a specific biosphere per se. The Rare Biosphere, refers to a rare group of phylogenetic populations that exist, not an ecosystem. Though these populations possibly exist in ecosystems all over the planet. The Rare Biosphere does not refer to a specific ecosystem, biome, or biological space. I realize that this is a confusing notion, but it is the name used in scientific literature for this subset of populations. Ktmccusk (talk) 14:05, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
Citation formatting
I came across this article in the related links of the now well know arsenic based molecular life, and I can't help but notice this has 'academic style' in line citations, e.g.(Gitay et al 2002) in the opening paragraph. I'm not a particularly experienced editor so I'm not sure if this is accepted wiki format, it seems easy to move those references down to the 'References' section and have the traditional wiki note numbers. Is this a reasonable edit? If someone who knows what they're doing reads this I would suggest this as a simple change to aquiesce the 'incorrect wiki formatting' banner for this page. 04/12/10 (dd/mm/yy) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.92.180.235 (talk) 08:51, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
