Proposed merge of Coccobacillus into Bacterial cellular morphologies

Mentioned in Wikipedia:WikiProject Microbiology/Tasks since 2006. This sort of classification is not great at standing on its own and would benefit from merging to the general topic. Artoria2e5 🌉 15:17, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Bacillus (shape) into Bacterial cellular morphologies

Same as above for coccobacillus. Artoria2e5 🌉 15:17, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Diplococcus into Bacterial cellular morphologies

Ditto. Artoria2e5 🌉 15:18, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Coccus into Bacterial cellular morphologies

Ditto Artoria2e5 🌉 15:18, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Spiral bacteria into Bacterial cellular morphologies

Same as above. This one is in much better shape, but still: either we do pointless duplication, or we merge. Artoria2e5 🌉 03:50, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

Picture issue

The two blue-cell svg files are quite nice, but the irregular casing is bothering me quite a lot.

• "Cocci" in the heading of File:Arrangement of cocci bacteria en.svg should not be uppercase, if we are going by sentence case.
• "Sarcina" îs a genus and not at all a morphological term. It should not be lowercase and should be italicized.
• "Staphylococci", "Pneumococcus", "Streptobacilli" should be italicized. Wait, do we italicize the plural or not?
• "streptococci" is currently in roman lowercase. Do we want it to mean the genus or the morphological term? Do people even still use the term purely for morphology?
• accidental "." characters

I'm putting the compliant here partly because of new Commons overwrite rule enforcement and partly because I am using a laptop without a mouse right now. I should really get some overwrite rights. Artoria2e5 🌉 04:00, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
