[edit] Pelecaniformes vs Passeriformes
The scientific classification box still shows order Passeriformes instead of Pelecaniformes. I know nothing about this, so I don't know if it's correct or not, but it doesn't match the information given in the rest of the section and the previous comment would suggest it should be Pelecaniformes.
[edit] Wet their Nests?
Is there any truth to Monty Python's suggestion that Gannets wet their nests?
Yes, their nests are constructed from Guano. [1]
[edit] Merge
I suggest merging both 'Booby' and 'Gannet' into 'Sulidae'. Maias 03:06, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
If anyone has comments for or against, please discuss at Talk:Sulidae. Maias 03:44, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] or expand?
wouldn't it be better to expand the article? There's not yet much information on here, but wikibirds is still a developing project. I'd rather see more inofrmation than less.--Jethrobrice 19:31, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Rep by pop?
Isn't Ile Bonaventure, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, largest single population, with 20K nesting pairs? Trekphiler 17:42, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Systematics and Evolution
'increased competition due to the spread of marine mammals and/or supernova activity'
Where's the evidence for this "supernova activity"? There are a plethora of sites on the web that carry some similar assertion, usually linked to the extinction of the mammoths, and all equally unsubstantiated. Where is the primary literature? All I've been able to find is a paper that Richard Firestone delivered to a seminar, that was subsequently cited by a couple of on-line science news sites. In other words, nothing at all in the peer-reviewed literature.
How seriously can you take this, when other sites on the web link this famous supernova to the disappearance of Atlantis? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.68.255.175 (talk) 13:11, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.240.20.10 (talk) 18:44, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
