Fossil/Prehistoric Penguins?[edit]
Should there be a separate article for fossil penguins? I don't think there needs to be, but it could happen. Speaking of which, it should be noted under "Poorly Understood Taxa" if the fossils were only found in one location, a single bone or skeleton, etc. The "Notes" section only has the alternate names for the penguins. 64.124.38.140 (talk) 13:34, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- Additional note: This should be noted under "Fossil genera" and not only "Poorly Understood taxa" 64.124.38.140 (talk) 13:37, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
Possible proposed split[edit]
Would it be at all possible to split the "Fossil genera" section from the rest of the article? Specific types of prehistoric penguins have their own separate articles, and it would make sense to tie them back into a separate article. The biggest problem of making a separate article would be that both articles would become considerably short. You could fix this by having some information the same on both articles. 64.124.38.140 (talk) 14:45, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
