 * I didn't see any new consensus about bird common name capitalization when I clicked on the WP:FAUNA link. In the past, the decision has been to go with the capitalization standard that was advocated by some big bird group. Now apparently there has been a discussion and the previous standard has been changed? Could a link be added here to exactly where that discussion is? --Davefoc (talk) 16:33, 12 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Perhaps the example of Bald eagle is considered the definitive source on what the standard for Wikipedia bird common name capitalization? I don't think any big bird article capitalization standardization effort should be undertaken until there is a very solid consensus established and a completely unambiguous Wikipedia rule in place. Maybe that is the case but I haven't seen it. --Davefoc (talk) 16:39, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Cite Q template causes CITEVAR error
, can you please replace the Cite Q template that you added with a normal cite journal template, or otherwise fix the WP:CITEVAR author formatting problem? Thanks. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:02, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Never mind, I found  in the Cite Q documentation and have used that trick to fix multiple citation errors in that reference. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:48, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * That's good, because I didn't introduce the Cite Q template and have no idea how to use it. If you'd checked the history, you'd have seen it was who introduced that problematic template. ;) MeegsC (talk) 22:32, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * My mistake, and apologies. I misread the history. Your addition of CS1 templates and sfn templates was nicely done. It turns out that editor in question has been asked to comply with CITEVAR in the past. The work of gnomes is never done. – Jonesey95 (talk) 01:34, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
