Talk:Common barbel

Article overhaul
I've started to generally overhaul this article, which needs a good deal of work to add citations, repair/remove dead links and improve/reorganise content. I'm inclined to reorganise the structure in the short term to more accurately reflect distribution, ecology and cultural/recreational importance; I'll repair outdated or inaccurate material along the way. Any additional suggestions gratefully received. VagrantDarter (talk) 13:30, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Multiple issues box removal
I've substantially overhauled this article and have paid special attention to the two issues noted in the multiple issues box (additional citations and worldwide view). I propose to delete the MI template in the next few days unless anyone has objections. VagrantDarter (talk) 11:29, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Redirect proposal
I think that Barbus barbus should redirect to Common barbel, rather than the other way around as it does at the moment. See Common bream for an example of the way it's done elsewhere. I've asked for editor assistance in doing this but thought I'd better raise the issue here too in case of objections... VagrantDarter (talk) 11:57, 12 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Done 13/11/2015. Fixed double redirect as part of the move.VagrantDarter (talk) 11:39, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
