Conservation status

Do we want this in the taxobox if it has not been assessed by the IUCN? HBW has a not-assessed status for recently described birds. Sabine's Sunbird talk 20:45, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think the status reference field can be used as well. Shyamal (talk) 01:51, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

the Togian White-eye is not listed in the IUCN redlist, so the Status Not Evaluated would be the best for the taxo box. That it might be qualified for the status endangered could be mentioned in the article. --Melly42 (talk) 17:42, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to all the contributors who've turned a little stub, based on a Jakarta Post article, into something that summarises all available knowledge on the species! Mostlyharmless (talk) 05:07, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
