Interesting bird, on fine sources, offline and subscription sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I wonder why you want to say this particular thing while I understand there's only one recording. Perhaps say that also? Without an image, we first don't even know it's a bird, nor Borneo. The alt name "magnificent green broadbill" strikes me as attractive. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:39, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I thought that it might be interesting; otherwise I propose

As you like it, I just wanted to know ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:15, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@AryKun: Reading now! --Jens Lallensack (talk) 21:39, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

and a lack of black markings on the head – "and lack black markings"?
- Corrected.

due to its a moderately rapid decline – "a" too much?
- Removed "its" instead since I think it reads better that way.

is in honour of the British zoologist Charles Hose. – You know why? Did he collect the holotype specimen?
- Yes, added this info in the lead and body.

The species can be differentiated from other Calyptomena by its blue underparts. – Do they also live in Borneo? Maybe worth mentioning earlier?
- Yes, added.

It has been recorded eating soft, greyish-yellow berries – this seems somewhat nebulous. Maybe name at least the group of plants this refers to?
- Source doesn't mention it. Presumably they were seen eating berries of this description during a survey or such, and the those conducting the survey weren't able to identify the plant and so instead provided a description.

Clutches have 2–4 eggs. – What about egg color, size, and shape? --Jens Lallensack (talk) 19:26, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- No idea, no source mentions it and I've dug through pretty much all the available literature. AryKun (talk) 08:42, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jens Lallensack, I've replied to all your concerns. AryKun (talk) 04:33, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks. The rest looks all good, solid work as always. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 07:35, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
