Hello, I'm Bentogoa. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to 2014 in paleontology— because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Bentogoa (talk) 10:45, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

List of birds

I put the table of contents at the top of the page. I think it looks better there. You have pasted in duplicate copies of your partial list, and I don't know which ones to delete. You will have to take care of that. Once you do, I can divide the list into columns and there won't be so much white space. Good luck. I will keep an eye on this page. I hope you get back to it before 2016. GeorgeLouis (talk) 06:16, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
