WikiProject Birds To-do: edit MAJOR taxonomic overhaul (see here) Create Galloanserae For new cat: Category:Natural history of the Americas, replace "Hummingbird" article (by Some collaboration, hopefully) an article: along title LINE of: Hummingbirds--the bird of the Americas

[edit] Mihirungs?

• "Mihirung" seems to be a pretty common name for these birds, and the current article Mihirung is just a short stub. Maybe this page should be moved to Mihirung, given the guideline to use common names as titles rahter than scientific names where possible. Either that or Demon Ducks of Doom...Dinoguy2 06:40, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Hmm, I don't know. Google shows over 650 hits for "Dromornithidae", but just over 150 for Mihirung. The Mihirung article is uselss as it is and should probably be made a redirect to Dromornithidae... I'll do that if you don't object. Mstroeck 13:14, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Sounds good to me.Dinoguy2 16:30, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] .

i like the article, but some of the sentences are choppy (short), kinda like 3rd grade stuff. i would prefer it if someone made the sentences look as if it was written by a professional. but still, even without them, the article is pretty sweet!

[edit] Failed GA

A reference dump at the end of the article just doesn't do it for me. Needs in-line citations. I like the organization, though. savidan^{(talk) (e@)} 04:25, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
