Talk:White-browed wagtail

Spelling of scientific name
Both
 * Bird Number 1891, vol. 9,

as well as
 * p. 415

give the scientific name as Motacilla maderaspatensis. However, the IUCN, and possibly Grimmet/Inskipp:1988 gives it as Motacilla madaraspatensis. Links from both scientific names to this article already exist. This may be an instance of two different scientific names having been standardized to some degree - it is yet another instance of the disparity between local and global forces in ornithology. In any event it is something that needs to be fixed (not so much in this article as in the worldwide birding community) in the coming years.

Perhaps this note should be moved to a footnote in the article... mukerjee (talk) 16:27, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
