ITIS has this order quite mixed up. There's a suborder Galli, but Gallus isn't in it; there's a family Meleagrididae, but Meleagris isn't in it; and there's no Gallidae even though Gallus is the type species (Gallus and Meleagris are both in Phasianidae). Can someone sort this out? -[[User:PierreAbbat|phma]]
:There is a new paper upcoming (in Cladistics journal) which should provide most of the information to sort it out. Generally, relying on ITIS is not such a good idea as currently we're witnessing a major revolution in bird taxonomy as morphological, behavioral, fossil and molecular data are being combined; primary literature (i.e. peer-reviewed papers) are to be preferred always.

I added the [[chicken]] to this page. According to the article about the chicken, it is the most common bird in the world, so it certainly deserves a mention. I assumed that the taxonomy on the chicken article is correct ( Phasianidae Gallus gallus ), but I don't know for sure because I'm not a bird expert. Please correct it if you have more accurate information about the classification of the chicken. Thanks! --[[User:64.81.243.120|64.81.243.120]] 20:34, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Maybe it sounds trivial to talk about domesticated species that everyone knows about, but I find it necessary. After all, [[ring (mathematics)]] begins by explaining that ring structures behave somehow like... the integers. I would think it wrong if the whole article discussed rings without giving a single widely-known example. [[User:David.Monniaux|David.Monniaux]] 10:01, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
:Chicken ''might'' be ''Gallus domesticus'' (it is generally ''G. g. domesticus'') as some other domestic taxa are now treated as human-made species taxonomically. For the purpose of the article, ''Gallus gallus'' is the way to go though (there are some wild [[subspecies]] which the article also would be the place to deal with).

Well thats the least I could do; this is probably one of the very last major bird articles that needs major work. Sources are there aplenty (see article source); I'm not doing it now but I'll do it soon and I guess it's gonna be done by midyear.

== Merged ==
There'e been no action on the merger, so I will try. [[User:Wxidea|Wxidea]] ([[User talk:Wxidea|talk]]) 02:35, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
