A fact from Little egret appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 8 November 2015 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that little egrets have a diet of mainly fish, but they also eat amphibians, small reptiles, mammals and birds, as well as crustaceans, molluscs, insects, spiders and worms?
The range information on this bird seems confused - the intro says it is found in Europe Asia and Africa, but then we mention it in the Bahamas and Australia - can anyone sort it out? seglea20:40, 3 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I hope my changes help - it's difficult to be sure of the current New World range of this species, since much of the information on this dynamic species is out of date. Its not in the field guides for Venezuela or Costa Rica. Also added size, incubation and some other bits. jimfbleak06:06, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
There should be some discussion of Egretta (garzetta) dimorpha, as it isn't listed as a full species, but the differences between little and dimorphic egrets are quite substantial (greater frequency of dark morph, yellow lore year-round). Personally I would be in favour of giving dimorphic egrets their own page, which I am happy to write. Are there any other opinions? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sambostock (talk • contribs) 07:52, 6 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]
The IP address 24.205.155.154 had placed "This bird does not exist it is made up from fairy tales" into the References section. Removed vandalism, but that was the IP's second use of Wiki ever - the last time it did anything before was early december, so I don't think this was any more than a random attack. Hopefully it won't happen again!
Checked with Earwig's Copvio Detector, and while I realize statements of fact and much of the US government's work is not copyrightable, the detector brought back a very high positive result. This needs to be addressed.
@Atsme: This is a false positive. Both the sites that come up as copyvios with Earwig (Thai National Parks & Birds of Europe) state at the bottom of the page that their source is Wikipedia. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:01, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
Well written, informative, accurate and top-shelf GA quality. Articles like this one are often mirrored on the internet and in RS which may trick a GA reviewer into thinking there may be a copyvio if the reviewer is not paying close enough attention.
@Cwmhiraeth:, before I start marking up the review, I thought maybe you might want to update the sections Distribution and habitat, and Colonization of the New World with regards to the similarities between snowy egrets and little egrets, the observed interspecies copulation, their overlapping range, and the broad expansion of little egrets along the North American Atlantic Coast.

A drive-by comment, galleries are discouraged if they do not serve a specific purpose, you could incorporate the best images into the article body. FunkMonk (talk) 10:21, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
They are mainly present in short articles that have been filled with images by various uploaders over the years, then someone comes along and dumps them in a gallery to make the layout less cluttered. So they're rarely there for a purpose. FunkMonk (talk) 11:43, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
