Disruptive Edits[edit]

User Lusotitan is removing large chunks of this article based on petty wars with another user. I put quotations and illustrations in the sources to exemplify why the information in them is correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.241.166.123 (talk) 08:22, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As I noted in my edit, I was prompted in the first place to remove the info as nothing cited to the first source was supported in the lithornithid chapter therein. As the other sources were inaccessible and writer Falconfly is infamous for his edit-warring and highly suspect information I feel safe in assuming that a) the rest of his section is of similar validity and b) this user trying to antagonize me is one of his endless numbers of sockpuppets.

I see that one of the sources was misquoted (Paleogene Fossil Birds in relation to the soaring stork/vulture claims), but the information otherwise checks out. Maybe replace that with Houde 1988, which matches the dexcription?
