Mihirungs?

[edit]

.

[edit]

i like the article, but some of the sentences are choppy (short), kinda like 3rd grade stuff. i would prefer it if someone made the sentences look as if it was written by a professional. but still, even without them, the article is pretty sweet!

Failed GA

[edit]

A reference dump at the end of the article just doesn't do it for me. Needs in-line citations. I like the organization, though. savidan(talk) (e@) 04:25, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Struthioniformes

[edit]

All the information I have read puts these in the Struthioniformes not the Anseriformes. Also without the inline citations I can't browse through all those references. Can this be fixed either through inlines or a rewrite.speednat (talk) 21:34, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dromornithid remains from Antarctica.

[edit]

The article states that there is a foot fragment from Antarctica with a possible Dromornithid affiliation. This seems to have been in this article since 2005 and has remained unsourced since. I have scoured many journals and papers regarding Antarctica's Cenozoic biota and have never come across such a claim. What was this referring to?

There was a tarsometatarsus fragment from Seymour island attributed to a large bird, though this has been confirmed to belong to a Pelagornithid since 2020. Could this be what this claim is referring to? BigBrownMonkey (talk) 02:40, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
