As interesting as the uncertain etymology of Penguin is, I don't think that this kind of lengthy etymology belongs in an article about the bird. Citizendium is an encyclopedia, not a dictionary. If the word's history is really substantial enough, then an entry for Penguin (word) ought to be created. Russell Potter 06:14, 27 May 2007 (CDT)
