Talk:National symbols of Jordan

=Arabian oryx is the national animal?= I have been searching unsuccessfully on the Web to find a citation to verify this assertion. I have taken the liberty of removing the Main article link and just doing a normal in-text link. We should not be acting as though the Arabian oryx article supports this section, as it mostly does not. If anyone knows of reliable sources that we can cite for these items, please feel free to add them to the article(s). Don Lammers (talk) 21:09, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
 * The eagle is the "national symbol" (or so the CIA says), but I have found both the camel and oryx as "national animal" of Jordan in "databases" and lists on the Web -- all from sources that are not primary (for instance, the government of Jordan Website), or cited (for instance, point to the government of Jordan Website).
 * There is no mention of a national animal in the government or tourist sites that I have looked at, newspaper articles, etc.
 * This article points to the Arabian oryx article as the "Main article", as though that article supports the summary -- it doesn't. The article does claim that the Arabian oryx is the national animal of Jordan, but there is no citation to support this.
 * The story of the reintroduction is not cited in this article, and is contrary to the Arabian oryx reintroduction article on Wikipedia, which is at least halfway decently cited.

Use of Template:Main
After reviewing the usage of Template:Main, I have removed them from the majority of sections. This template is only intended for use when the section summarizes the article that it points to. I made sure that all of the sections had inline links to the article formerly pointed to by the template. Don Lammers (talk) 21:43, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
