  • ... that although the type specimen of the black catbird (pictured) was reportedly collected in Honduras, the species has never been recorded there since?

  • Began review AshLin (talk) 20:41, 10 August 2014 (UTC).
  • New enough, Began 9 August 2014. Adequate size 7301 characters (1218 words) "readable prose size".
  • Cited adequately, inline. Neutral.
  • Hook interesting, suitably referenced, AGF.
  • Close paraphrasing problem : "partners in flight estimated the, etc" ...
  • @MeegsC: please rectify close paraphrasing issues. AshLin (talk) 14:34, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
@Ashlin: There's not too many ways to convey that information, but I've tried. I've removed the Partners in Flight info (I guess it doesn't matter who made the population estimate) and simplified the sentence. Please let me know if that's sufficient.
Paraphrasing issues resolved.
  • AGF for offline refs.
  • Image free, used in the article & looks good.
  • AGF for hook inline citation.
  • QPQ pending @MeegsC: AshLin (talk) 17:34, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
@Ashlin: You can actually check here for proof of the hook as well. Should I cite to this online ref instead?
@MeegsC:, that would be in the interest of the article. QPQ pending. Other issues resolved. AshLin (talk) 00:58, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
  • The AGF approval icon should certainly not have been used when beginning the review; cancelling it out with this icon, which is appropriate when a QPQ review is still undone. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:08, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
  • I'm reviewing Olive-backed pocket mouse, but haven't quite finished. I'm in the field at the moment, and have to fit this in around 18-hour days! MeegsC (talk) 21:34, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
  • Review is now done; see above. MeegsC (talk) 01:53, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
