Argentine Blue-bill, Oxyura vittata -- longest penis of all vertebrates in relation to body size

Robots and humans of very little brain keep reverting the above material, assuming it to be vandalism. This fact is notable and has plenty of good sources. It is appropriate to appear here. But I won't get into a revert war about it. Now it is up to you to decide if it should be in this article.

You had not included any references in the article and due to the nature of the edit, I assumed it to be vandalism. Anyway the revert was a mistake and I apologize for that. I have already restored that edit and provided a reference. Thanks for pointing this out in my talk page. Chamal ^Talk 15:06, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

aging difficult

"Plumage sequences are complicated, and aging difficult."

This is badly written tech speak. What does it mean? What is a plumage sequence, and what does it mean for it to be complicated? What is "aging difficult"? Does it mean that it is difficult to determine the age of an individual? Why? Compared to other birds? How long do they live? -69.87.203.205 (talk) 19:15, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
