Text and/or other creative content from this version of Old World babbler was copied or moved into Pellorneidae with this edit. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

- Article was truncated from Timaliidae article already accepted on Wikipedia. Family was split by IOC, Clements and others. Reflecting new taxonomy.....Pvmoutside (talk) 13:07, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Jungle" babblers?

The change from "Ground babblers" to "Jungle babblers" was part of a October 25, 2018 edit by User:Naturetog (their only edit ever, aside from a couple of image uploads on Commons) that expanded the entry considerably, so no one may have noticed that part. I don't see anything in the links in the reference section that I've followed so far that refers to this group of birds as anything but ground babblers, but I don't have time or paywall-access to check all the references. The article for Jungle babbler refers to a single species in a different family, as do most of the hits for the name on Google Books that I looked at. I did see one field guide that used the term in this way in 2000, so this user didn't make it up. Still, it would be nice to verify from reliable sources which name is best for Wikipedia purposes.
