Talk:Egyptian vulture

More work needed
This was a one line stub and I've added a lot of info and photos, but further work is required on grammatical structure and improving the layout, and probably other things I haven't paid attention to. But please excuse me, I'm pretty new to wiki.--Yunis 17:07, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

Two retracted articles found
I found and marked two retracted articles in the references. I decided not to remove the information yet. Should it be left in and marked as retracted or removed right away? Stongey (talk) 11:39, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for finding and pointing them out. I wonder if there may be a purpose to pointing out that some studies were faulty and non-replicatable. I have however removed the citations and the statements based on the retracted studies A and B. The statements that we had earlier included were "The island birds, owing to reduced exposure to infections and low genetic diversity, appear to be more susceptible to infections due to a weaker immune response." (Gangoso et al. 2009) and "Furthermore, studies in Spain suggest that the absorption of veterinary antibiotics suppresses the vultures' innate immunity, making them more prone to infection." (Lemus & Blanco, 2009) Shyamal (talk) 13:07, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I had the same questions... In this case, I'm pretty sure that removing the info is the right decision. Stongey (talk) 21:38, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Removed Egyptian mythology bits
Some bits of Mut and Nekhbet referencing this does not make the species clear. A reliable source that identifies the association would be needed for restoration. File:Egypt.Nekhbet.01.jpg clearly looks more like a Gyps. Shyamal (talk) 15:03, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

Significance
Egyptian Vulture is an icon in the prehistory civilizations of the Nile River.

The fine vulture is mentioned in the "Qur'an". in fact in the middle ages, Egyptian Vulture became an occult symbol for "Saladin" and the armies of the "Saracen".

"Egyptian Vulture" became an icon for the independent countries in the "Middle East" and continue to be respected presently. 11:55, 5 December 2021 (UTC)~\11:55, 5 December 2021 (UTC)~\ 137.59.221.36 (talk) 11:55, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
