Talk:Northern gannet

Solant bird
I can't find any evidence that this species has ever been called "solant bird". The only GHits are to WP mirrors. Pburka (talk) 20:49, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

Largest colonies
According to the article "In 2004, [Bass Rock] contained more than 48 000 nests...The Bass Rock is now the world's largest colony of Northern gannets" and also "Saint Kilda is the largest colony in Europe with more than 60 000 nests".

This is clearly wrong - if St Kilda has more nests than Bass Rock, how can Bass Rock be the world's largest colony? Newburyjohn (talk) 18:31, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

The colonies around the British Isles are shown the book published by the BBC - but have I referred to the publication correctly - there is no author?Osborne 20:17, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

WikiProjects
Apparently this article is related to WikiProject Africa, WP Western Sahara, WP Caribbean and WP Saint Pierre & Miquelon. This seems silly since it's a North Atlantic bird, but I don't know how to remove the connections Newburyjohn (talk) 18:38, 13 July 2016 (UTC) OK I think I've successfully deleted the WikiProject relationships.

Tracking of articles with sorted citations
I have placed a notice (Note short footnote style 1 in use at the start of this talk page following other notices. This template provides information to editors perhaps unfamiliar with how to add short footnotes and full citations to the sorted list, and aids citation editors helping maintain consistent use of this style by convert inline citations to sfns if needed.J JMesserly (talk) 02:15, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
