Talk:List of tyrant flycatchers

Merger from List of North American birds
It should be possible to add fields for distribution (e.g. North and South America) and the conservation information from List of North American birds to the table, helping with the split needed for that list. G. C. Hood (talk) 16:18, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
 * After 5 months, it would seem that nobody wishes to do this. I had a go and I can see why. If this article were sorted into some order then it could be done reasonably, the article has been sorted into an apparantly random order. If the proposal would seriously help the list of NA birds then I could see why someone would go to the effort. However the effect on that article would be so miniscule that it would serve the same purpose as Homer Simpson trying to lose weight by shaving his head. Op47 (talk) 22:53, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

February 19, 2019 revision
The changes made in this revision are listed here rather than in a long edit summary.


 * The former text is completely replaced with paragraphs which describe the source and philosophy of the presentation. Full references are included.


 * A column is added to allow sorting by taxonomic sequence.


 * The list is presented in taxonomic sequence. The former list was grouped by genus but the genera were not listed in any particular sequence.


 * Ten species in the three genera named in the text are deleted from the former list.


 * Thirty-seven species are added to the former list. Because its source was neither named nor dated, I don't know which are recently described species, which have been reclassified, and which were omitted in error.


 * Three common names have been changed.
