Talk:Ibis

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

-NO TITLE- I would like to add another entry for IBIS which is an acronym for Issue Based Information System.

This concept has a fair amount of history in Design Theory. Starting with Rittel & Kuntz in 1970 describing a method to structure discussions around difficult problems. They structure this discussion into issues, positions on issues, and arguments about positions. Implementations of this form include: http://www.compendiuminstitute.org/Default.htm and http://ideagraph.net/xmlns/ibis/ and http://www.ehm.kun.nl/mi/project/wibis/

That's not nearly as cute, though. Also, sign your talk edits with four ~'s. Craig Sniffen 19:01, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't like the picture in the top right of the page. I don't want to make an effort to change it. I just want to complain. It doesn't show the bird's head. I don't even know what this is a photo of. Jorge1000xl 18:25, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Plural ibi (!)

[edit]

"The ibi (pronounced [ˈaɪbaɪ]) are a group..." The less pretentious "ibises" is a more ordinary and idiomatic plural. I haven't changed the article's text, though.--Wetman (talk) 08:29, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not only pretentious, it's flat out wrong! --Iustinus (talk) 05:08, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong Order?

[edit]

In the first paragraph of stork is says that "storks are the only family in the order Ciciniiformes, which was once much larger and held a number of other familes". In the infobox on this page it says that ibises are in the family Ciciniiformes. Is the information on this page therefore outdated? Or is the classification controversial? mustermark 22:09, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
