Text and/or other creative content from White stork was copied or moved into Stork. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. |
Note that the assertion that the originates as an English folk tale is highly unlikely since there are no storks in the British Isle, apart from the very occasional visitor. I note that the article does not say anything about distribution. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eiamjw ( talk • contribs) 11:27, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
The fact that parents tell kids they've been brought by the stork needs no references, it is just as trivial knowledge as water is wet.

Please, add a french link to fr:Ciconia
The interface actually refuse it because Ciconia in the French version actually redirect to Cigogne, which is probably fine unless someone add enough information to be worth a separate page (that will be automatically managed shoud it ever be split). I don't know how it is supposed to be done, but hopefully someone with enough rights to do it will fix it.
In any case, it doesn't make sense that there is no link to the French Ciconia, and that would be helpful to native French speakers that have no clue of what is a Stork (except by guessing from the picture). Actually, most native French speakers don't know either what is a fr:ciconia, but that is not a real issue since it will currently be redirected to Cigogne and it won't cause much confusion.

But isn't the Ciconiidae a family in the infobox not genera. I'm confused on the matter Alexis Ivanov ( talk) 16:36, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
What can we improve with those information on cultural significance in this baby carrying stuffs? Qwertyxp2000 ( talk | contribs) 09:10, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
From the article: "...the order Ciconiiformes, which was once much larger and held a number of families including herons and ibises." Why was it much larger in the past? Did it get redefined? Or did it contain a lot of species that have since gone extinct? 2607:FEA8:3D20:856:C107:8A2D:4DF0:3B11 ( talk) 14:21, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
Good Morning, do you think it would be appropriate to add the In Fiction section to this page? ReedBlower ( talk) 09:52, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
Are there any other sources for the claim that "Muslims also traditionally revered storks because they made an annual pilgrimage to Mecca on their migration" aside from the one cited? I read the source myself and found no references to storks in Islam at all, and only found a section discussing the belief that swallows travelled to Mecca during migration.
