Talk:List of extinct animals of the United States

Template:Onlinesource2004 I can round up some death dates for a few animals killed in the historical area, and thought that would go nicely in a list here. ~ender 2003-03-31 01:03 MST
I'd like to link this to List_of_birds, however I think that would be better done if this page were broken up: List_of_extinct_animals was composed of just a list of other lists: List_of_extinct_birds, List_of_extinct_mammals, etc... Then List_of_birds could point to List_of_extinct_birds as a related topic, instead of all this other stuff. This list got quite big, quite fast. Thanks. ~ender 2003-04-03 00:16 MST
Is there a reason why List of Extinct Animals links here? It kind of gives the impression that only American animals have ever become extinct. Is there a list of other countries' extinct animals somewhere? --Darac 10:27, 28 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- I would like to know this as well. There once was a list of ALL extinct animals (still viewable in the history). Where are the other animals now? Did anybody erase them from this list? I will restore the old article, but it would be interesting to know the meaning of this action. -- Baldhur 19:31, 10 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Press Mention
This article was mentioned in the OC Weekly. See Wikipedia:Wikipedia as a press source for more info. jengod 00:19, Feb 13, 2004 (UTC)
- Interestingly, I think the author misunderstood the nature of wikipedia (perhaps willfully, perhaps negligently) by assuming that this list was complete. The list does not support the author's claims, because wikipedia does not claim that the list is exhaustive. DanKeshet 00:26, Feb 13, 2004 (UTC)
- Perhaps it would be wise to label the list as non-exhaustive, then. - Nunh-huh 00:35, 13 Feb 2004 (UTC)
How is BC and NFLD US, eh?
Animals from British Columbia and Newfoundland are listed as being yankee animals. Does Wikipedia feel Canada is the 51st state? -- user:zanimum
- I'd assumed this might have been a holdover from this page previously being a generic list of extinct animals, but you're probably right. Now I'm miffed. Rhymeless
Please rename this article...
...List of human-age extinct animals of the United States to indicate it excludes animals such as dinosaurs, pterosaurs, plesiosaurs, icthyosaurs, and pelycosaurs. 66.245.107.192 00:08, 22 May 2004 (UTC)
status of red wolf
The red wolf listed under extinct mammals seems not to be actually extinct. Apparently, some red wolves were found in Canada. They were thought to have been grey wolves. This wasn't known until 1999. When and what was your source for this list? Matthias5 04:12, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
status of Megamouth shark
Does not appear to be extinct. Refer to article Megamouth shark. I removed it from list.Tobycat 01:40, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Eskimo Curlew
The article that is linked to from here for Eskimo Curlew lists it with a conservation status of 'Critical'. Can someone who is pretty sure of the determination one way or another change one of the articles for consistency. Or drop me a note as to which is wrong and I can do it. The article says:
- The last confirmed sighting was in 1962 in Texas; there was an unconfirmed report of 23 birds in Texas in 1981. This bird is certainly at risk, if not already extinct.
So I suppose this article is probbly correct, I will post on the talk page over there and change the article in a few days if no one objects. Dalf | Talk 06:58, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
