Sirocco the Kakapo[edit]

I noticed your post at Talk:Kakapo where you referred to the new article Sirocco the Kakapo which you created. It looks good, although some editors may feel that it is too lightweight; it would be nice if you could find some more relevant facts that appear in reliable sources. I should put comments like this on Talk:Sirocco the Kakapo, so I won't say any more now. My reason for posting here is to show you how to link to the article (although you must already know that because you put valid links in the article). At any rate, if you edit this section, you will see the wikitext that I used for the links. No need to reply. Johnuniq (talk) 06:36, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work[edit]

Excellent work on Sirocco's article. I have added a picture taken at Auckland Zoo, but it's not very good quality. I see DOC has a few pics of him on Flickr so I might ask them to release some on a free licence that we can use. If we can get some quality ones then it also helps the main Kākāpō article. Hmm I wonder if the TV company would release one of the "incident". Anyway, well done. Kahuroa (talk) 17:42, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have replied to your comment - see my talk page - once a conversation starts it's probably best to keep it in one place, so you can answer there if you have any more comments. Kahuroa (talk) 20:05, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Sirocco (Kakapo)[edit]

On 7 November 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Sirocco (Kakapo), which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Sirocco (pictured), an endangered flightless parrot, gained fame when he was caught on video attempting to mate with the back of a zoologist's head? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
