Ciconiiformes
[edit]Hi,
You changed a lot of pages/categories to change them to Ciconiiformes.
If you look at en:Ardeidae for example, you will see that the order is much discussed (look at the taxobox).
As Wikipedia is not really a place for scientific debates, and wikicommons is even less a place for debate,
wikicommons follows IOC classification 2.6.
This you can see at the top left side of the Category:Ardeidae (IOC Classification:)
IOC (for en:International Ornithological Congress) is large commitee of ornithologists that try to forge a common classification.
So currently Category:Ciconiiformes should contain only Ciconiidae.

- By the way, NCBI is an interesting source. But it is not a taxonomic reference (See on their page the phrase The NCBI taxonomy database is not an authoritative source for...).
- Whant I mean is that they follow other's classification. Often with some delay.
- We use {{NCBI}} a lot for plants because it follows APG III closely.
