Having a go at it! Would make straight forward changes, and feel free to revert any of my edits in case of any mistake.

your changes look ok. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 15:00, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

• "At 9 to 11 cm (3.5–4.3 in) long" this could use the conversion template.

added Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 15:02, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

• There should be something about taxonomy in the lead, for example about John Latham describing it.

added Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 15:00, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

• " ...synonymy. though the name Myzomela dibapha was occasionally used. particularly" There are just two extra fullstops punched in.

not sure how that happened. comma-fied now Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:49, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

• Link John Gould and Richard Schodde.

• New Caledonia should be linked too.

• " ...The Wakolo myzomela, Sulawesi myzomela, Banda myzomela and New Caledonian myzomela were" per MOS:OXFORD, the comma list should be consistent. Later in the section, " ...to the Pardalotidae (pardalotes), Acanthizidae (Australian warblers, scrubwrens, thornbills, etc.), and the Maluridae (Australian fairy-wrens) in a " has a different comma list style.

I don't like Oxford commas but they are very very useful for slotting references behind if needed...so added one Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 15:03, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

I mean, we should have consistency. There are a few places like "Insects eaten include beetles, flies, bugs and caterpillars" where there is no comma before the and. So, would you prefer the Oxford commas or the other ones? I could change them according to the comma style you prefer. Adityavagarwal (talk) 16:54, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

better to add commas for ease of reference-slotting Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:49, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

Would be completing it by today, most probably (just have to study a bit more for tomorrow's exam).

• Link Queensland, (Gippsland, Victoria), New South Wales, omnivorous, and Syncarpia glomulifera.

• "... in early Spring (August) and" I think that the month of August falls in Summer (or Autumn), but not early Spring.

August is winter/early spring in the Southern Hemisphere (where I am, as well as the scarlet myzomela) Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 09:12, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

Ah, din't know that. Adityavagarwal (talk) 10:32, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

• Link fledged, wingspan, covert feathers, and incubate.

links added Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:05, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

• "It has relatively long wings for its size; when the wing is folded..." I think it should be "It has relatively long wings for its size; when the wings are folded..." instead.

Giving one more read now...

• Ref 25 does not have anything about scarlet myzomela (was archiving the web-urls, so I came across the issue).

you have to enter the name in the search box and it will show the data on the relevant species Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:50, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

• Point number 3 is to be fixed.

done now Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:50, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

• Also, I have commented on point number 6.

advised now Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:50, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
