Isee back in 2016 someone deleted Categories: Birds of...(African countries)but just for the African countries, nowhere else. Long term project is to try to restore them in some fashion....Pvmoutside (talk) 11:06, 17 July 2023
Wikipedia now has very stubby articles for Tooth-billed tanager and Red tanager that were split out from Hepatic tanager (Piranga hepatica). The Hepatic tanager article is kind of a mess now. The habitat section calls it "Brick red cardinal" and is sourced to a Cornell site that recognizes Piranga lutea in a broad sense as the hepatic tanager. The description section has an unsourced paragraph that calls it "Brick-red tangerine" (and the previous paragraph has a reference to a different Cornell site that refers to the species having a range from the United States to Argentina). I'm not sure which, if any, of the information in the hepatic tanager article actually pertains to the narrowly circumscribed species.
Then there are the redirects: Lowland Hepatic-tanager, Northern Hepatic-tanager, Highland Hepatic-tanager, Piranga haemalea, Blood-red Tanager and Blood-red tanager. Where should those go? Plantdrew (talk) 01:37, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
File:Spiza americana male 94 231051626 13e01e8125 o cropped flipped.png is found on approximately 1,500 bird Wikipedia articles. This appears to be erroneous. Any way to remove on mass? Antkings (talk) 17:00, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
I was surprised to see this bird at the spelling "grey". A quick search of popular bird books and websites (including some in Canada) returned unanimous "gray" spelling, and on inspection of the history it looks like it was created with "gray" and then moved to "grey" without discussion back in 2008. I do see that in e.g. British birding books it's spelled "grey", but I don't see any use by authoritative sources in the bird's actual range. So I moved it. Now, however, I wonder if there's a standard this WikiProject prefers to go by, and to what extent spelling in the native range should matter? Certainly don't want to start an WP:ENGVAR conflict. :) — Rhododendrites talk \\ 22:14, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
I've put in some work to complete the particularly notable entries under Wikipedia:WikiProject_Birds/Article_requests/Journals (see Bird Conservation International, Bird Study, Marine Ornithology) but am having trouble when looking at the last one on the list (Stray Feathers). There's already a decent account of the journal's history on Allan Hume's article, and since it hasn't been published in over 100 years I can't use any of the sources typically used to establish journal notability (Scopus, MIAR, Web of Science, etc.). Any recommendations on this front? Reconrabbit 17:33, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
