Talk:Emperor penguin

message: The "Relationship with humans" section is outdated. Emperor Penguins are kept in captivity in four places and three of those have bred it: SeaWorld San Diego (USA; by far the most succesful in breeding, see wiki article), Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium (Japan; kept but not bred yet), Wakayama Adventure World (Japan; incl. breeding) and Laohutan Ocean Park (China; incl. breeding). 62.107.210.43 (talk) 17:24, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Outdated "''Relationship with humans''" section  

message: "It almost always breeds on stable pack ice near the coast and up to 18 km (11 mi) offshore."
then later:
"The yearly reproductive cycle begins at the start of the Antarctic winter, in March and April, when all mature Emperor Penguins travel to colonial nesting areas, often walking 50 to 120 km (31 to 75 mi) inland from the edge of the pack ice."
Maybe showing my ignorance but I can't make much sense of these. Words like offshore and inland are unclear when there's ice off the coast. Nigej (talk) 09:51, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

I have just added archive links to  on Emperor penguin. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add  after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add  to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

message: , please explain why you have not been using edit summaries while editing this featured article for . I reverted the first edit you made in July because you added content without it being clear whether or not that was present in the listed source – do you understand what that means? Rhinopias (talk) 23:11, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks  for posting. I'd seen some changes in passing but had not looked in depth until I saw the summary of the differences above. Some changes are improvements but most are adding redundant emotional words, repeating material that does not need repeating or (more worryingly) the changing of numbers without changing the source. I've gone through the article and reviewed all changes. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 00:30, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: No, thank you for actually making the changes! Too daunting of a task for me right now. I've posted on Eblackadder3's talk page also (which they have never edited). If we do not receive a response from them and they continue to edit the article, we can suggest a block at ANI until they say they'll participate... Rhinopias (talk) 00:37, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unexplained phrasing/spelling changes 

message: In 2016 the Halley Bay Colony essentially disappeared when bad weather destroyed the sea-ice the colony was on. This caused the chicks to drown and the adults to abandon the colony. The adults have not seemed to make an attempted to reestablish the colony and the ice did not reform in 2017 or 2018, but the Dawson-Lambton Colony has seen a rise in numbers since:
Should this be included? Should it have its own section? It seems relevant and important to me, but I have not edited the article because I'm not sure how/if it would best be included. Downfall Vision (talk) 10:57, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I have expanded on 's addition. I think it's appropriate here, as long as the section doesn't get too long/convoluted with examples that don't add much. Sentences could probably get reordered... Rhinopias (talk) 23:41, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

text: Without a comparison image showing population size I don't think the image adds anything to the section. If Halley Bay didn't redirect to the research station, there could be content about the penguin colony and a photo there... Rhinopias (talk) 21:51, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Disappearance of the Halley Bay Colony 

message: I don't see anywhere in the lead or taxonomy, where I'd expect to find it, that an Emperor Penguin is a bird.  I think most people know, but it's not patently obvious that it isn't for example, an aquatic mammal.  That it is a bird is mentioned a few times under other sections, but what an animal is should be in the lead, eh? Sbalfour (talk) 21:58, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: , don't you think saying it is a penguin is more exacting and informative? And saying both would be labouring the point I suspect....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 22:26, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
