Talk:Striated pardalote

Untitled
"...lerps and other small creatures in the treetops..." - but a lerp is not (so I discovered on checking) a creature, small or otherwise.

existence (or not) of subspecies.
I don't know how to do this, but the section on subspecies needs to have a tag on it, the one that says something like that this is a current event and subject to change. This is because the Australian Museum is doing DNA sequencing on many samples of a number of Australian bird species, and depending on the results of that sequencing, may be announcing changes to recognized species and sub-species.

 * Species and subspecies chop and change as work is done. In general, new changes don't occur until the work is published. Have you heard on the grapevine that something is being published soon on pardalotes in particular? (cool....) Casliber (talk · contribs) 11:50, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

OK, Casliber, you seem more on top of this than I am, so I will bow out. Cheers. Old_Wombat (talk) 10:03, 1 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Actually, it's funny - my interest was piqued after you pointed out new research and read here which highlights which papers to follow up on. I was always fascinated by the lumping of bird taxa and will read the papers soonish. Casliber (talk · contribs) 15:14, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

Comments From Class
The article on Striated Pardalote, also known as Pickwick, Wittachew, or Chip-chip, was overall lacking as compared with other articles of the Wiki Birds project as well as in general. Stylistically, the entry is written in the third person, using an informative tone to convey known facts of the particular bird species. However, the overall content of each section was lacking and mixed, needing more subdivisions to clearly articulate information. Judging from the talk and discussion sections of the page, the species itself is undergoing a potential change in nomenclature, or which the author is unsure on the status and is thus recruiting the help of other editors. The history of the page indicates the addition of various language editions of the article as well as minor edits and photo additions. If I were to edit this entry, I would more clearly define the particular taxonomy of the various species or subspecies and subsequently define the criteria for which the subspecies are being divided: what is the uniquely shared characteristic for the subspecies? Perhaps I would even go and find or create a distribution map to better help readers understand from what regions the species hails from. The behavior section, which would be most relevant to my topic, should probably go more specifically into mating patterns and behaviors as opposed to caring and habitat selection. Also, the addition of possible predator-prey interaction and/or specific resource acquiring abilities and allocation in specific global regions, seeing as there are various subspecies in different habitats. Following the project format on WikiProject Birds, this article is missing the human relations and culture as well as threats and survival methods. TKYung (talk) 19:45, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

File:Pardalotus striatus - Risdon Brook.jpg to appear as POTD
Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Pardalotus striatus - Risdon Brook.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on December 19, 2014. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2014-12-19. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. Thanks! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:06, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
