Table

The current species table is messing with the formatting on my computer. Could it be made like the table in nuthatch? —focus 17:42, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

First sentence is puzzling

What does resemblance to titmice have to do with anything?—PaulTanenbaum (talk) 19:36, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Link to Regulidae in other languages?

I wanted to add an interlanguage link to the pages about Regulidae in e.g. French and German, but for some reason Kinglet and Regulidae are two different entities in Wikidata, even though searching for Regulidae in English Wikipedia leads here.

I am no Wikipedian, so I am unsure how to proceed. So I am leaving this message here for anyone who knows how best to resolve that situation! 194.230.158.122 (talk) 08:07, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Citation Missing

Hello fellow Wikipedians, I am curious about the assertion "Kinglets prevented from feeding may lose a third of their body weight in twenty minutes and may starve to death in an hour." No citation is provided. After consulting Cornell Lab Birds of the World, and searching through SORA and the OAS archives I have not been able to find any publication that supports the claim. Should this be flagged?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Adaptivity77 (talk • contribs) 21:05, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Adaptivity77, at a quick google it does seem that it might have some grounding in fact, but it does seem to have been presented in an extreme way. However, you are right that there is no source for that, or for anything else in that paragraph, so it seems a good idea to tag it and/or replace it with the results your own look through sources.
