[edit] Name and Proposed Move

Why is the name of this article Mound-builders? Aren't articles supposed to have singular names? We have dove, tern, owl, and mimid; we don't have doves, terns, owls, or mimids. Unless someone comes up with a good reason why this article should have a plural name I'm going to move it to either Megapode or Mound-builder (bird).

Agree. Megapode is a better term. Partly because some of the birds don't build mounds, but bury their eggs, so the term is misleading. --Michael Johnson 23:27, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Megapode is a much better term. Sabine's Sunbird talk 06:05, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Okay. I moved it and fixed all redirects. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 17:29, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
