GA Passed

[edit]

I have passed this article's GA because it fulfills the GA Criteria. I have just one note for improvement - although it is broad in its coverage as required by the GA criteria, it still has a lot of room for expansion. It's a relatively short article, and a lot of info could be added. Cheers, Corvus coronoides talk 15:01, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for passing this. I am going to a library sometime soon, and I will try and find more book sources and therefore more information. Thanks again, and I hope you enjoy your vacation. -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 00:52, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Does your library have a copy of Handbook of Australian, New Zealand and Antarctic Birds (HANZAB)? That would be the place to look. Sabine's Sunbird talk 01:44, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'll see. Thanks for the lookout. -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 05:25, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Artamus cyanopterus Mortimer.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on August 24, 2012. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2012-08-24. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng {chat} 18:01, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Ugly Kamry ???

[edit]

Why is the top photo for this page titled The Ugly Kamry? There is no explanation . . . is it simply vandalism? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ed8r (talkcontribs) 18:27, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism by User:Joe dan11. I predict he'll be banned any minute now.-- OBSIDIANSOUL 18:31, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
