Progress

I just made this navbox for all the Buteoninae species. The reason it is only on this article so far is that I just haven't done it yet. I am also going to make a template for all the Circaetinae species. If you want to help add this template, go ahead. --The High Fin Sperm Whale (Talk • Contribs) 05:41, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Name

Buteoninae or Buteonidae? I've found it used interchangeably in some places, is it right? If it is, we need a redirection. Agent L (talk) 10:43, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Outdated grouping

I intend to start a separate page for Aquilinae, which has, as of studies from 2005, found to be monophyletic, also eagles outside of the Harpyhaliaetus and Geranoaetus are no longer part of Buteoninae. See for reference: Lerner, H. R., & Mindell, D. P. (2005). Phylogeny of eagles, Old World vultures, and other Accipitridae based on nuclear and mitochondrial DNA. Molecular phylogenetics and evolution, 37(2), 327-346. Lerner, H. R., Christidis, L., Gamauf, A., Griffiths, C., Haring, E., Huddleston, C. J., ... & Mindell, D. (2017). Phylogeny and new taxonomy of the Booted Eagles (Accipitriformes: Aquilinae).

Orphaned references in Buteoninae

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Buteoninae's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 10:52, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
