Another bird list for a small Pacific island country. Reworked it a few weeks ago and I think it's ready for FLC now, so have at it. AryKun (talk) 13:28, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

Comments by Pseud 14

Great work and a fantastic read overall. A few comments from someone who is unfamiliar with the topic and is generally not my area of Wikipedia-interest:

• Perhaps you can link the first instance of atolls instead of the one in the second paragraph. As I see you have already defined reef islands in the enclosure.
  • Done.
• Would there be a way to briefly define avifauna similarly to how you did with reef islands?
  • Done.
• That's all for me. --Pseud 14 (talk) 15:08, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

If you have some spare time or inclination, would appreciate feedback on my FLC as well. Though not mandatory at all

• Suggest a map showing where Tuvalu is would be helpful. Most of our readers won't have a clue where it might be located on planet Earth.
• Gilbert and Ellice Islands has an article!
• In fact, I would look at the Tuvalu article and even borrow some of the geography information from there to really contextualise the location.
• "from 2,500–3,500 mm" could probably switch to cm!
• Having said that, our article says it has an average precipitation of 3,500mm, not that range you give here.
• "very weakly developed" what does that mean?
• "Vegetation on the islands is predominantly" maybe to get round the awkward "is" here, you could say "Vegetation on the islands predominantly consists of..."?
• Why are the reef-heron and imperial-pigeon hyphenated when our articles don't do that?
• "globally threatened" probably a good time to introduce IUCN and their categorisation here.
• "the avifauna (birds) of Tuvalu" any real need for "avifauna" here?
• "tags are commonly occurring native species" is "commonly occurring" required here?
• "Charadriiformes" is overlinked but I guess it's a case of IAR here as they're in separate sections of a navigable list...
• The portal templates crush the refs, use a {{clear}} after them to avoid this.
