• ... that the banded woodpecker is of low concern to conservationists because it has adapted well to living in human surroundings? Source: "Has adapted to man-made habitats"

• Article expansion is new enough and long enough. All paragraphs are cited, with the hook facts sourced, but i dont have access to REF 3 to confirm that it speaks directly to the conservation status. If it doesnt, it may run into WP:SYNTH.--Kevmin § 19:52, 4 August 2017 (UTC) --Kevmin § 20:27, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

What the source actually says is "Status: locally common to uncommon. Population size and trends mostly unknown, but considered stable. Has adapted to man-made habitats.". Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:57, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

• Thanks for the full quote. I still wonder if using that statement as an assertion for the reason that the population is stable and thus the specific reason that IUCN assessed it as Low Concern may be synth. Could it be reworded to remove the synth problem?--Kevmin § 14:06, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

• ALT1 ... that the banded woodpecker has adapted well to living in man-made surroundings and is of low concern to conservationists? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:05, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

• That works much better, gets both section in, follows both references. No additional problems are identified in the article and no policy issues are present. Good to go--Kevmin § 17:35, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
