Merge

I suggest merging both 'Gannet' and 'Booby' into 'Sulidae'. Any comments? Maias 03:10, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

It just seems that having three separate pages for the one family (even the one genus, according to some) is redundant. Maias 03:42, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Definitely should not be merged. Genus and family articles should be kept separate. The articles will be expanded over time. Mgiganteus1 10:03, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Mgiganteus, is the above a formal policy of the Bird Project or a personal opinion? Further, does it apply to monogeneric families, which is at least arguable for the Sulidae? Maias 11:08, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Late Paleocene back in 47 million years ago, Seriously?

I've found a problem in the taxobox. It was Eocene but not Late Paleocene anymore back in 47 million years ago. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheRealLTG (talk • contribs) 18:44, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Suloidea

In the article Frigatebird it states that the family Fregatidae is the sister taxon to Suloidea which includes all other families of Suliformes. However, if you click on the link for Suloidea it redirects to this article (Sulidae). So either the taxonomy of Suliformes in the articles for Fregatidae as well as Sulidae itself is wrong or Suloidea should not redirect to Sulidae. Because I suspect the latter, I propose that the rediction should be removed and that maybe a new article Suloidea should be created. Kugelfisch002 (talk) 00:16, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
