[edit] Name

Is this Traversia lyalli or Xenicus lyalli? Nurg 06:21, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

See atricle - Xenicus is preferred, but Traversia is plausible. Maybe they'll change it back to Traversia sometime soon, if they do DNA sequencing. Dysmorodrepanis 17:50, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What?

What is the following sentence trying to say, namely " It was only seen alive by Westerners on two occasions before the entire population was killed by the lighthouse keeper's cat named Tibbles in 1894"? Westerners = Europeans? The lighthouse keeper and one other "Westerner" built the lighthouse because no-one but those two ever visited that area? The bird never arrived there until after the lighthouse was built? Moriori 22:36, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

See March 7, 1995. Of course the whole story now reads rather different... Dysmorodrepanis 17:50, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I support the most recent changes by Dysmorodrepanis. Congratulations on your research. --WikiCats 01:04, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

It ruins a story I kind of liked, and had told to relatives, but good job Dysmorodrepanis. This might be one of the most obscure "historical myths" I know of.--T. Anthony 13:29, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
