Comments for FAC

another copyedit]
You need to spell out NY, CT and CEPA in the references
I'd be inclined to either delink or write stubs for the two red links
When I used it, the Marshall Cavendish book was queried as an encyclopaedia, not reliable source. You might get away with it, but better if you can find another ref
IBC may be queried, HBW would be better, Sabine's Sunbird might have access
I'll see if Madge, Steve (2002). Pheasants, Partridges and Grouse. Christopher Helm. ISBN 0-7136-3966-0. {{cite book}}: Unknown parameter |coauthors= ignored (|author= suggested) (help) has anything -it's a bit out of date

See if you like the annotated map in the habitat section (I couldn't work out how to get it in the taxobox). If not, I think it would take someone like Shyamal a few minutes on Inkscape to shade in the breeding areas. jimfbleak (talk) 10:22, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I've spelled out the words and checked your copyedit- all good. I need sleep, but come Monday/Tuesday when I return, I'll try to stub the two articles. Out of curiosity, why was the Marshall Cavendish book questioned- simply because it was an encyclopedia, or for another reason? Same question with the IBC too. Thank you again.

I've got HBW, so can look up anything that needs checking. Drop a note on my talk page if you need sources... MeegsC | Talk 16:11, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
