RE:bird cladogram again
Unfortunately Jarvis et al. didn't include a stork (Ciconiiformes), so the most reliable cladogram that we have for Aequornithes is Yury et al. (2013) or Burleigh et al. (2014). --Ornithodiez (talk) 19:10, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

How do I do that? None of those links lead me to a page I can edit the copyright details of the file. I uploaded a file of another species but it was impossible to insert it into the article I wanted to use it in. I cannot find any help that I can understand after hours of looking! Can you help? Thanks Nickwilso (talk) 20:55, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
