Talk:Red-capped robin

Corvid superfamily
"Like all Australian Robins, it is not closely related to either the European Robin or the American Robin, but belongs rather to a corvid superfamily comprising many tropical and australian passerines including pardalotes, Fairy-wrens and honeyeaters as well as crows."

Can we blue link the superfamily please? Marskell 07:39, 5 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I think I've properly tweaked this. Marskell 07:48, 5 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks - sorry I forgot which classification was what again and copied from the wrong place. cheers, Cas Liber | talk  |  contribs 08:48, 6 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Found an ace photo and asked nicely on flickr - this was one of my favourite birds as a kid and got close to taking a photo a couple of times but the damn thing was too fast/shy/clever....cheers, Cas Liber | talk  |  contribs 09:10, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Straying on taxonomy
This part in the intro: The position of the red-capped robin and its Australian relatives on the passerine family tree is unclear; the Petroicidae are not closely related to either the European or American robins but appear to be an early offshoot of the songbird infraorder Passerida. is mainly about the family. We should not duplicate general information about the family en each of the species articles. --Ettrig (talk) 07:24, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I generally think there needs to be some context - so the reader can know these aren't related closely to the European on American robins, but agree I might have been a tad excessive here. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:10, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
 * However this - "The position of the red-capped robin is unclear." now means nothing. It has no context at all. You need this to explain to the lay reader that it is not a European or American robin. I agree about the taxonomy in the body and have left much of it out still Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:12, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm very happy with the new version. --Ettrig (talk) 11:41, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
 * It is a bit like walking a tightrope with these articles sometimes, providing just enough extra material to give context without overloading.....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:43, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
