 *  being considered at one time related to the pittas, Old World babblers and birds-of-paradise. - they weren't considered related to all three at once...? So reword/ add "variously" or something?

 * it's not "melam", but rather melas "black", or stem is melano- - from p. 431 of my Liddell & Scott Ancient Greek Dictionary, meaning "dark, gloomy, dusky, black"
 * Fixed. Sabine's Sunbird  talk  02:07, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
 * could link "taxonomic dustbin" to Wastebasket taxon
 * Fixed. Sabine's Sunbird  talk  02:07, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
 *  Both species have a discontinuous distribution across New Guinea, and the greater melampitta is generally a rare bird that is seldom encountered, although this may because it lives in seldom visited areas - recommend changing one "seldom" and hyphen after the second one.
