Talk:Dromornithidae

Mihirungs?

 * "Mihirung" seems to be a pretty common name for these birds, and the current article Mihirung is just a short stub. Maybe this page should be moved to Mihirung, given the guideline to use common names as titles rahter than scientific names where possible. Either that or Demon Ducks of Doom...Dinoguy2 06:40, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I don't know. Google shows over 650 hits for "Dromornithidae", but just over 150 for Mihirung. The Mihirung article is uselss as it is and should probably be made a redirect to Dromornithidae... I'll do that if you don't object. Mstroeck 13:14, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

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
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)

Struthioniformes
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)

Dromornithid remains from Antarctica.
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)
