FA concerns

[edit]

Hi editors, this article has not been reviewed since 2006 and I am concerned that it does not meet the featured article criteria anymore. Specifically, I am concerned about the "Diet and feeding" section before the next subheading, and the "Seabird families" sections that do not have citations, and various sentences at the end of paragraphs. I also noticed that many citations source the whole journal but do not give the specific page numbers where the cited information can be found. Is anyone interested in bringing this to FA standards?

A further concern is the lack of discussion on climate change, which was identified as one of the three major threats to seabirds. Femke Nijsse (talk) 11:02, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There is some material that could be added to the classification section - such as recent groupings - Aequornithes and more. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 04:35, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There seems to be a significant omission in content about threats to seabirds from plastic. The word "plastic" does not appear in the article at present, yet plastic in the oceans is widely recognised as a major threat to seabirds. For example, see this reference: [[2].
