The food items listed are those in the Collins Guide, need a source for claim by anon that they eat mainly fish. I would be surprised if large numbers of Black storks, as opposed to White, went through Gib. The Spanish population is mainly resident, and the rest mainly breed in eastern Europe. jimfbleak 16:14, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
I would say that the map is incorrect given that the black stork does nest in Italy. -- Cinclus 14:54, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
Someone from France has placed a string of references, clearly from the same group of researchers, to the end of this article without making any new text to support their use, in the article itself. This looks like self-promotion. It would be better to summarize the findings of the papers in a few sentences, or a new paragraph, if the discoveries of this group would contribute to the quality of the article. Remember that an encyclopedia is not meant to be an index of one research groups findings. There are scientific journals for that purpose. The readers do not need to be immersed in the finer details of Black Stork research.
If you can summarize the findings in the article, then making inline citations to one or two of the references, that would solve the problem. Just placing a long list of self-promoting sources is not allowed. If you would expand the article first with useful information, and then add references to back up the text, that would be different. Please see: Source_soliciting.
These were the references that had been stuck in a bunch to the end of the article, without making an effort to expand the text in the article:
This was a clear attempt at promoting own research. This is treated like SPAM. -- Skol fir ( talk) 17:51, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
In the "Description" section, the wingspan of 145-155cm appears quite small (in comparison with white stork, grey heron...) Other sources (for example http://www.borealforest.org/world/birds/black_stork.htm) mention 185-205cm which looks more realistic. Can't access the mentioned Cramp 1977 reference to check, but suppose this to be a typo or erroneous info? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lchaerle ( talk • contribs) 15:24, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
Looking at the gallery in Commons, I'd say the article would benefit from an image of an adult stork with some young ones. There are a couple of great shots on Commons, but I'm not sure as to where such an image should be positioned in the actual article. As things stand now there is hardly any space for another pic. Could someone knowledgeable on the topic assist on this? -- Laveol T 00:28, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

The biggest issue I've identified is the copyright violation - this needs to be fixed first before the review can proceed. Parsecboy ( talk) 19:29, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
OK, I think the article is in good shape now, so I'm happy to pass for GA. Great work! Parsecboy ( talk) 18:11, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

@ Casliber and Adityavagarwal: What an exceedingly fine article. I was checking it over prior to its TFA on 28 May and noticed that there was an addition which was uncited: "Further south, Lake Faguibine in Mali is another stopover point but it has been affected by drought in recent years." I don't know enough to judge the accuracy or importance of this claim, but assume that you will. In which case I would be grateful if you could cite or delete it. Thanks.
