August 5, 2022 revision[edit]

In the August 5 2022 revision I have attempted to limit the information to the wedge-tailed sabrewing as defined by IOC, that is, the monotypic Pampa pampa. Much of the previous article, especially the information attributed to Williamson^[1] refers to the pre-split Campylopterus curvipennis and is not specific to P. pampa. I have therefore replaced the more general text. I have also blanked the section on song evolution but retained it at the end. I suggest it more properly belongs in the Hummingbird article, as it is not specific to the wedge-tailed. (The one mention of wedge-tailed refers to the Sierra Madre Oriental population, which is the curve-winged.)^[2] Craigthebirder (talk) 13:33, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
