 * Symbol question.svg A fine article, well-written, with good references, informative and comprehensive, at least in the eyes of the non-expert. GA status is verified, QPQ is done, image is appropriate and licensed, the hooks are referenced (AGF on the offline source), but there is a minor problem: the article references the A. raven as "a common bird in Canberra, Sydney and Perth;", not necessarily, as in the first hook, as the "commonest crow-like bird". This is implied to some extent by the following sentence in the article, but is not clear and should be fixed. Otherwise it is good to go. Constantine   ✍  15:29, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh thats the lead - see para 2 of the Distribution and habitat - I tweaked it a little to clarify. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 01:22, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Hmmm, the problem is in the preceding sentence, about Canberra, Sydney and Perth, not the one you edited. It should say explicitly that it is the most common corvid in these three cities. Constantine  ✍  10:08, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
 * OK, I tweaked it thusly Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 22:45, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg OK then, ready to go! Once again, well done, and good luck with the FAC! Constantine  ✍  21:27, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
