Talk:Royal tern

message: I believe that the Thalasseus maximus should be more correctleylabled as Sterna maxima because i have found that to be a more recent name but i need some help in detirming the right name. So if an expert in orinthology would be able to steer me in the right direction that would be greatly apreciated. --Captain kirkintosh (talk) 01:30, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The genus Sterna was broken up recently, but you'll probably still find some sources using the old taxonomy. If you search for the species here you'll see Thalasseus used. Sabine's Sunbird  talk 04:04, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

text: Thankyou for the clairifiction.Just get some history on the Royal Tern, the tern was part of the genus sterna but that was broken up and so the tern is know officaily part of the genus Thanasseus. Correct? --Captain kirkintosh (talk) 02:41, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

* This article is in desperate need of a spell check. I counted 10 and threw in the towel. Does your edit window show mispelling as underlined in red? If not - Copy and paste into a Word and let Bill Gates assist. That is fundamental and should precede any request for assistance or reviews .--JimmyButler (talk) 05:37, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

message: At least one of the leading authorities (IOC) splits the two subspecies, with the African one being called Greater Crested Tern... what authority does Wikipedia follow for avian taxonomy? – GRM (talk) 09:15, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
