How, exactly, is this article a stub? The people at DYK obviously disagree, for no stubs can be selected for DYK. I think it should be a start, myself. Just what I think. Anonymous Dissident ^Talk 06:17, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Original tagwas stub, and those who expanded forgot to update. Fixing now. Circeus 06:28, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

File:Rufous whistler.jpg to appear as POTD soon

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Rufous whistler.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on January 18, 2011. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2011-01-18. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng {chat} 17:41, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
