Would inclusion of a reference to the Painted Bunting (Passerina ciris) be appropriate on this page? LarryW 14:38 23 Jul 2003 (UTC)
It looks that way to me, though I'm not familiar with them. There must be a little taxonomic confusion here: it and several other "buntings" are listed at Cardinal (bird). Is there an American birdo in the house? Tannin
- There are two problems with buntings. Firstly, like "finch" and "sparrow", they are terms that are used often without strict reference to taxonomy.
- Secondly, I've followed HBW for the cardinals, and Sibley's North American Bird guide also divides American buntings into Cardinaline buntings and Emberizine buntings. Emberizidae and Fringillidae are the two families I need to rewrite, but we need to be careful not to use two systems of taxonomy, so that the same species pops up in two different places.
- What I'll do in the short term is to put a pointer to the Cardinaline buntings on bunting (bird), unless someone objects. jimfbleak
- OK, I've done that and added a complete Emberizidae species list. This large family needs splitting, with a core at American sparrow, flowerpierceretc... so much to do (and not this week). JIM

True or false??
True or false: there are other things named Bunting that Wikipedia can have articles on. (I am giving this quiz because Bunting re-directs here and I want to know if it can be made into a dis-ambiguation page. 66.245.12.170 22:56, 25 May 2004 (UTC)
At least Flag_of_the_United_States refers to Bunting.
Indigo Bunting?
What about the
Genus "Miliaria"
The British Ornithologists' Union, the British Trust for Ornithology, and Gill and Mintern's (2006) Birds of the world: recommended English names all relegate the Corn Bunting to the genus Emberiza. Perhaps it is time to adopt this taxonomic treatment here. John Trapp 23:37, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Language links - help wanted :-)
Could someone please add the link to the corresponding German language page?
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammern
(I used to be able to do this but it seems to have become very complicated...) It would be nice if someone could help :-) 2A02:3035:C0F:F946:1:0:8067:146D (talk) 09:51, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
- The problem is that you can only have a one-to-one connection between Wikipedia and Wikidata. The English Wikipedia links to the Wikidata item on the genus (QID 28486). So the de:Ammern article is already linked (to the family item) and the software won't allow a second link for the this article on the genus. Unfortunately there is no will to change the Wikimedia software to allow real world relationships. — Jts1882 | talk 12:40, 7 June 2022 (UTC)]
