This looks a very interesting article about a species I have not known before. I will start a review shortly. simongraham (talk) 23:53, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Review
[edit]- Well-written:
- Verifiable with no original research:
- Broad in its coverage:
- Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
- Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
- Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:

Discussion
[edit]- The article is relatively short for a GA with 1,179 words of readable prose, plus an infobox.
- www.birdtheme.org seems to be self-published. Can you please provide evidence that it is a reputable source.
- Removed.
- Other references appear to be from reputable sources.
- Consider rephrasing the lead. The sentence "It is among the largest species of hummingbird." seems disconnected from the rest of the narrative. Should this be a subclause to another sentence?
- Worked it into another sentence.
- There are no obvious spelling or grammar errors.
- Is a cladogram worth including?
- I couldn't find a phylogeny that showed the relationships of this species.
- Is it worth explaining how this bird came to be illustrated on stamps in Africa?
- I've removed the section since I couldn't find any reliable sources on its appearance on stamps.
- I appreciate that data is limited, but some of the sections are very short (for example, Vocalizations and Reproduction). Is it worth combining some of these?
- No, I don't think that they could be reasonably combined with any other parts of the body. AryKun (talk) 12:27, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
@AryKun: Excellent work. Thank you for responding so quickly. simongraham (talk) 14:24, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
