GA Review

This generally looks quite good; just a few minor things:

A range map would be nice (though it is not required for GA status). Done (Thanks Cas!)

I'll see if I can get someone to help me out with that. I don't know how to do them myself! MeegsC | Talk 21:21, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ref. 1 and 20 are basically the same thing, and it would be nice to unite them into a single ref.

Except one is the IUCN website (and is linked in a template that runs the taxobox) and the other is Birdlife International's website. Would you prefer I use the Birdlife International website for both, as it does contain the IUCN status code? The IUCN website doesn't have the population numbers. MeegsC | Talk 21:21, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Since the IUCN take their assessments for birds from BirdLife International, using BirdLife's website twice seems reasonable. But it's a minor thing. Ucucha 11:28, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the map; I am now passing the article as a GA. Ucucha 11:28, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Convert template order flip

I edited the article and flipped the order of the units for the nest dimensions with this edit.

MeegsC posted a question on my talk page which I've copied here:

"Hi Aa77zz: Just wondering about your "order flip" in the convert template for the red warbler article. Can I ask why you felt the need to do that? Now, the imperial units no longer match the reference they were taken from (which had imperial, rather than metric, units). Perhaps this is something that is now mandated in MOS (a person could spend the rest of their life trying to wade through the zillions of rules there) and I just haven't run across it before? MeegsC (talk) 16:23, 29 April 2018 (UTC)"[reply]

This isn't something that I've read in the MOS but when reading the article it struck me as odd that all the other dimensions are given in metric followed by the conversion into imperial except the size of the nest. Using the order=flip parameter preserves the original imperial dimensions from the source but keeps the order. This seems better to me. I discovered this parameter when I saw it used by Jimfbleak.
