On 16 March 2022, it was proposed that this article be moved to Jay (bird). The result of the discussion was no consensus.

That Jay is a also Name should be moved to Disambig Page!!

To Jimfbleak: I notice that you deleted my edit at 19:09, 28 January 2006. Why? I just moved the information that Jay is a name to Jay's disambig page. The main page of Jay is not a proper place to provide the disambig information. Do we need to say that Jay is also a name of many places here???? --Neo-Jay 20:46, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is already a {{other uses}} tag on the page, so there is no need for another pointer to the DAB page. There is no point having the "otheruses" template and still listing any of those uses. I notice that when you restored the duplicate link, it was reverted by someone else for exactly the same reason. jimfbleak 06:29, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I do not understand. I just deleted that "Jay is also a name" because I noitced that there is already a {{other users}} tag. I have never ever added any pointer to the DAB page. I DID NOT list any of those usese. ON THE CONTRARY, I DELETED the duplicate link. I really do not understand why you think I RESTORED the duplicate link. What are you talking about?? --Neo-Jay 09:18, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

See my grovelling apology for sheer stupidity on your talk page. jimfbleak 10:54, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's all right. Thanks for your reply. Best regards. --Neo-Jay 18:51, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Crested Jay

It says here, w/o citation, that the Crested Jay is not in this family, but the actual Crested Jay article says it is. If there is a dispute about classification (common enough) it should probably be easily cited and both articles should include this. --Dhartung | Talk 23:54, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The picture

Might it be better to have a picture of a Garrulus glandarius in the infobox as this is the bird that was the originally known as the jay? (Msrasnw (talk) 23:31, 4 April 2011 (UTC))[reply]

Well except "the" Jay (as the Brits call it) is just one of many jays. So putting a photo of that species in just because it was the first one called jay isn't necessary. But we could certainly cycle through any number of nice jay pictures, of jays from all around the world. Feel free to do so, if you'd like, and if you have a nice photo of one.

Why is the Dutch not linked?

https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaai Zowietje (talk) 16:51, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Zowietje:, because that Dutch article is about a particular SPECIES of jay, and this article is about ALL species of jays. The Dutch article is linked on the Eurasian Jay article. MeegsC (talk) 17:36, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
