Pre-GA Notes

I thought Zosteropidae was sunk into Timaliidae now, is this universally accepted? Maybe worth just one line in article. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 08:06, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can't keep up. At present our white-eye page shows them as a family with a few traditionally babbler birds added. But yeah, I should mention the confusion. I think this species/genus is still close to Zosterops. Sabine's Sunbird talk 19:41, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the whole thing is such a mess it perhaps should be left alone in the lower down taxa until it is resolved. Sabine's Sunbird talk 22:04, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough...(groan) Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 22:24, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The behaviour section has a few sentences starting "The Golden White-eye...". I was trying to think of how to mix the prose up a bit. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 08:10, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Will do. Sabine's Sunbird talk 19:41, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Derivation of the scientific name Cleptornis (thief bird???) marchei would be nice to get in.

I wonder where I can find that. Sabine's Sunbird talk 19:41, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently it refers to the old name for the Mariana Islands, the Islands of Robbers. How weird! Anyway, done and cited. Sabine's Sunbird talk 03:03, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just gave the article a quick copyedit. As always, please browse through it to ensure that I didn’t change any weird British things of meanings of the sentences. I also added some info from the Rare Birds Yearbooks. After going through it, I had two questions:

Does the Pratt mentioned in Taxonomy have a first name?

In Diet, which trees specifically does it pollinate?

Beyond that, this looks like a pretty good article. Congrats on getting so many good pictures as well. Rufous-crowned Sparrow (talk) 21:48, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, H. Douglas Pratt is the author of the region's field guide and considered by most to be the current authority of the region's avifauna. --Natureguy1980 (talk) 18:28, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Towards FAC....

Looking alright. I massaged the prose a bit. Notes below. Casliber (talk · contribs) 08:12, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

university and the best I can 🥫 for this year and her family and her life is very important for me to be with your parents and her family and I 2404:4408:6A35:2100:FDD7:A2D3:39D9:EF77 (talk) 08:43, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd link gleaning if possible.

I slotted in early offshoot after basal. Better than an easter egg link maybe. change back if you want.

Not sure what else - I think FAC might pass at first go. Casliber (talk · contribs) 08:12, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
