thread_title:  Man-eating? 

message: I edited the "largest eagle" because of the following phrase as quoted, "Only the Philippine Eagle and the Steller's Sea Eagle approach similar dimensions. The male, in comparison,  weighs only about 10.5 lb (4.75 kg).and the fact that the Philippine eagle had surpass it in size. 
The word, "most powerful eagle" is still debatable or can be reputed; It it more safer to claimed as "one of the most powerful eagles".
The largest prey recorded of the Harpy eagles is a red howler monkey that weighs about 15 lbs. 
Here are some Eagle species largest prey records;
(Which the bird take and carry-off)
Bald eagle lifting a 6.8 kg or 15 lbs mule deer.

The Golden Eagle takes a small mountain sheep or goat and carry off to it's nest.

The Philippine Eagle largest documented prey is a 14 kg or 30.8 lbs. Philippine cervus deer at a nest studied by Kennedy in 1985;

:Saying "the bulkiest and one of the most powerful eagle in the world" would look very bad, so I put "perhaps". What do you think??

thread_title:  Largest eagle? 

message: 13 cm is gross exaggeration that probably originates from confusion with tarsus length (114–130 mm, Ferguson-Lees et al. 2001). Note that the spike-like claw of Southern Cassowary (image), longest among extant bird species, reaches 12 cm; while the Harpy Eagle's hindlaw in truth measures up to 7 cm – the largest among raptors and (very likely) extant flying birds. This text has hallux claw mesurements from 57 to 65 mm (with 119–145 mm tarsus).
 
Here is an image of a Harpy Eagle's talon next to those of other species (left to right: Harpy Eagle, Golden Eagle, Bald Eagle, Great Horned Owl, Red-tailed Hawk and Peregrine Falcon). Compare this with 64.75 mm for the Harpy Eagle and 55 m for the Golden Eagle (can reach c60 mm) at haribon.org (see cache if that doesn't open). I've measured a White-tailed Eagle's hindclaw's outer curve at 61 mm myself; it's a slightly larger (3.1–6.9 kg) species than Golden (2.8–6.7 kg) or Bald Eagle (2.5–6.3 kg).
 
I suppose this exaggeration easily escapes notice, as not all realize that the difference between identically proportioned 6 and 7 cm claws is nearly 60 % in volume. Between 7 and 13 cm the difference is 540 %.
An image of a preserved Harpy Eagle's foot. A replica on Bone Clones, with a length of 3 in (76 mm) for the whole digit.

message: Note that pressure depends on the area whose claws make force. Moreover, a merely 5kg on 1mm2 equals to 500 kg/cm2.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.84.150.75 (talk) 23:38, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: One more try. I suppose there's a vague possibility that you don't know you do have a talk page, so I'll repeat the reasoning here. 
*You cannot add a link to that YouTube movie as a reference because it is a straight tape from a copyrighted TV broadcast and thus violates our copyright rules - see WP:VIDEOLINK. Thus this is an unreferenced statement and should not be added.
*Your follow-up about this being equivalent to the grip strength of a 6yo child is a conclusion YOU are drawing, rather than something that someone has already published in a reliable source. Thus it constitutes original research and cannot be added under any circumstances.
*Your insistence on re-adding the material in spite of these issues constitutes WP:Edit warring and is disruptive.
You have now been warned multiple times. On the next instance, I will report you for edit-warring and you may be blocked from editing for a time. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 13:29, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
