According to the Extinct birds page this duck is officially Critically Endangered. Which is correct? See here [1]

don't know what the criterium is for official extinction, but as it says, no confirmed sightings for 70 years - change status if preferred. jimfbleak 05:06, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Present and past-tense words are both used. Even though the bird is most likely extinct, its category is still critically endangered. I have changed the all the past-tense words to present ("was" to "is"). Change it back if you don't agree. --209.7.171.66 21:48, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
I do agree. Definitely keep it in the present tense. Iancaddy 01:39, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Netta or Rhodonessa?

which authority put this species into the genus Netta? Because both Sibley & Monroe and ITIS still regarded it as Rhodonessa? --Melly42 14:06, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I suggest that it goes back into Rhodonessa. The basis for putting it into Netta is Livezey (1998), but the methodology is not very good. Dysmorodrepanis 04:38, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
