Does it still deserve to be called so? I see 2 [citation needed] tags, 1 [peacock term] tag and one [not in citation given] tag. Someone pls fix those, else supporting statements should be removed. I don't edit articles on wildlife, I just check how good they are. Kailash29792 ( talk) 19:33, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
The " Relationship with humans" section is outdated. Emperor Penguins are kept in captivity in four places and three of those have bred it: SeaWorld San Diego (USA; by far the most succesful in breeding, see wiki article), Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium (Japan; kept but not bred yet), Wakayama Adventure World (Japan; incl. breeding) and Laohutan Ocean Park (China; incl. breeding). 62.107.210.43 ( talk) 17:24, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
"It almost always breeds on stable pack ice near the coast and up to 18 km (11 mi) offshore."
then later:
"The yearly reproductive cycle begins at the start of the Antarctic winter, in March and April, when all mature Emperor Penguins travel to colonial nesting areas, often walking 50 to 120 km (31 to 75 mi) inland from the edge of the pack ice."
Maybe showing my ignorance but I can't make much sense of these. Words like offshore and inland are unclear when there's ice off the coast. Nigej ( talk) 09:51, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
When dogs were present in Antarctica, did they prey upon penguins? Dogs are by nature big-game killers. Pbrower2a ( talk) 06:50, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
Dogs were removed on the fear that that carried Canine Distemper or other diseases which might affect seals. Sadly the British Antarctic Survey dogs all died of typical dog diseases within a few years of their return [1] presumably because they had spent generations in a isolated environment.

Is there any reason to call out the Taylor Glacier as being in the Australian Antarctic Territory instead of saying Victoria Land? Most countries don't recognize claims in Antarctica. Sowelilitokiemu ( talk) 17:57, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
Eblackadder3, please explain why you have not been using edit summaries while editing this featured article for the past 9 months. I reverted the first edit you made in July because you added content without it being clear whether or not that was present in the listed source – do you understand what that means? Rhinopias ( talk) 23:11, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
In 2016 the Halley Bay Colony essentially disappeared when bad weather destroyed the sea-ice the colony was on. This caused the chicks to drown and the adults to abandon the colony. The adults have not seemed to make an attempted to reestablish the colony and the ice did not reform in 2017 or 2018, but the Dawson-Lambton Colony has seen a rise in numbers since:
Amos, Jonathan (2019-04-25). "Thousands of penguin chicks wiped out". Retrieved 2019-04-25.
Should this be included? Should it have its own section? It seems relevant and important to me, but I have not edited the article because I'm not sure how/if it would best be included. Downfall Vision ( talk) 10:57, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
I have uploaded a photo of the Halley Emperor colony in 1998,99 incase it proves to be of use
Just added that photo to the relevant section. Mtpaley ( talk) 18:46, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
I don't see anywhere in the lead or taxonomy, where I'd expect to find it, that an Emperor Penguin is a bird. I think most people know, but it's not patently obvious that it isn't for example, an aquatic mammal. That it is a bird is mentioned a few times under other sections, but what an animal is should be in the lead, eh? Sbalfour ( talk) 21:58, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

There are plenty of youtube videos that show the Emperor Penguins height is less than 3 feet. The article said something else. Any thoughts on a reliable reference for height? Thanks, Daniel.Cardenas ( talk) 04:01, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
They are now threatened as of today, someone needs to come in and change it. Thanks. Flossingjonah ( talk) 06:59, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
For some reason, the range map in the speciesbox template displays as a link and not as an image. I commented it out because I can't figure out how to fix it. Michael7604 ( talk) 03:58, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
