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)[reply]

@AryKun: Excellent work. Thank you for responding so quickly. simongraham (talk) 14:24, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
