• Comment - It would be nice if capitalisation and use of hyphen here was consistent. It's clear that 'white-faced' is correctly hyphenated, but different sources disagree about hyphenating 'storm petrel'. There is no need for capitals in the common name of a species.

• Comment You are not correct ProfDEH in your didactic criticism. Birds Britannica uses White-faced Storm-petrel. American usage favours capitals, British usage is often lower case. Both White-faced Storm-Petrel and White-faced storm-petrel can be used. It is unusual for storm petrel to be unhyphenated, but it is found, and not only on Wikipedia.

  By the same logic you would capitalise Fox or Seagull surely. But my objection is mainly that name on the image and in the article are different. ProfDEH (talk) 13:52, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

• The use of capitals is usually determines by a publication's style guide. Here on Wikipedia, there is no such constraint. And on the subject of bird names, there is no such bird as a seagull! Charlesjsharp (talk)

• Since files from Commons are used on a wide variety of Wikipedias and other projects, trying to standardise that isn't really that doable. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 7.7% of all FPs} 17:26, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
