Im just curious is this bird really, really, really the crocodile bird by fact? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.126.93.30 (talk) 02:01, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's a myth and has never been observed, Tom Green (talk) 11:52, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh I see. Cause this myth have been so widely spread until it's thought as truth. From 203.126.93.30

Back to being a family[edit]

Orphaned references in Egyptian plover[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Egyptian plover's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 05:58, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
