Talk:List of U.S. state birds

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Ok?

Is it OK if I modify the state birds table to include links to articles that document the stories behind each bird's adoption? If so, how do I do that? How can I access the table's HTML so I can change it?

Thanks.

David, your link doesn't work. I don't know if somebody has reached you but I'll just comment here.

• You are free to modify anything in Wikipedia at any time as long as you follow the guidelines.
• Are you referring to links to other Wikipedia articles or external links?
• If you are referring to links to other Wikipedia articles that is not only acceptable but encouraged.
• As a general rule, links to external sites within the main body of text are inappropriate. Wikipedia is supposed to be "self-contained" meaning that it does not depend on external linkages. It is preferable to either put the information you have into this article (probably not appropriate since it would clutter the article) or else put the information into other appropriate articles and link to them. Also if you like it would not be unreasonable to have a section at the bottom titled "External Resources" where you provide the external links.
• There is no way to modify the HTML directly. The servers generate the HTML automatically.
• You can edit the Wiki source by simply clicking "edit this page" at the top of the article. This code is sort of similar to HTML but much simpler.

Hope that helps.

[edit] Merge

There is no reason to have List of U.S. state waterfowl separate from the List of U.S. state birds article. There is only one entry in that article, which is also found here. A merge seems to makes a lot os sense. -- 63.224.135.113 (talk) 04:51, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
