This was confusing until I decided it was talking about birds and not fish - the Aves in the taxobox giving it away... :-) Stan 20:04 29 May 2003 (UTC)

Don't we need disambiguation for the all the kinds of fish? Rmhermen 00:19, Aug 19, 2003 (UTC)

For what it's worth, there is also a group pf dragonflies named as darters jimfbleak

I've accidentally created a circular link, please leave for now, and I'll write a proper Indian/Oriental Darter article in the next couple of days. jimfbleak 13:52, 23 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Taxonomy

The first sentence in the section for this article seems to be in direct contradiction of the Taxonomy section on Pelecaniformes. I have no idea which is right(?) - but should they be made more consistent? 139.163.138.14 23:12, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

That section gives an alternative view which is not yet accepted by most national ornithological organisations. There is no inconsistency in the main text, which places darters in the Anhingidae familiy of the Pelecaniformes. jimfbleak 05:06, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Since when...?

Have there been 4 species??? I don't remember there being 4...:/ --Mitternacht90 00:27, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Near-threatened?

The lead mentions that one of the four species is near-threatened, but the articles about the four species says all are Least Concern. Which is correct?! MeegsC | Talk 21:19, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Can't see this. Oriental Darter is NT, and that article says so. Jimfbleak 05:40, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
