Family Burhinidae
kylling er godt —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.204.224.77 (talk) 11:00, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

The article says "This order contains only a single family, the Podicipedidae..." however I saw a Berhinus capensus at the Henry Doorly Zoo which this says in the Burhinidae family of the Podicipediforms order. So who's right? Cburnett 02:04, 2 October 2006 (UTC)


 * this says it is in the Charadriiformes order so I'll go with that. Cburnett 02:45, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

There isn't a country called Checkoslovakia anymore. Wich part of the country the fossil was found?

Name?
The disambiguation page for 'helldiver' links here, but there is no instance of that word on the page. Should there be? I didn't know they were call anything else until a few years ago, but maybe that was because of local slang. E ric W es B rown (Talk) 05:02, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

NPOV regarding taxonomy?
The taxonomy section of this article seems remarkably non-WP:NPOV. It cites, in strongly pejorative terms, a 1982 paper in Systematic Zoology by Cracraft. It then goes on to argue (without a reliable source for the critique) that the 1982 paper was flawed. I have no opinion in the matter of the taxonomy of loons versus grebes, but am struck by this unbalanced use of literature. I'll look for something more current and definitive, but absent that wonder whether the Cracraft article should be given more neutral treatment. &mdash; soupvector (talk) 01:14, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Found a recent (2015) analysis by Padilla that seems to support the point of view in the present article - so I'll leave this as-is (I don't know much about birds) - but I think the Padilla ref might be useful for support. &mdash; soupvector (talk) 01:42, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
