Grey-headed woodpecker

 * ... that the grey-headed woodpecker was split into three separate species in 2014? Source: "Hitherto considered conspecific with P. guerini and P. dedemi, but differs from former in [...]"  "Picus canus, P. guerini and P. dedemi (del Hoyo and Collar 2014) were previously lumped as P. canus following Sibley and Monroe (1990, 1993)."  and original print-published source named therein
 * ALT1:... that the grey-headed woodpecker will breed within 100 meters of its sister species, the European green woodpecker? Source: Gorman, Gerard (2004): Woodpeckers of Europe: A Study of the European Picidae. Bruce Coleman, UK. ISBN 1-872842-05-4, pp. 61-62.

 * Comment. At the moment this article does not qualify for DYK because of the DYK requirement to have at least one citation per paragraph. I see the article has been translated from the German and that the German language article is also deficient in inline citations. Now I have a copy of Woodpeckers of the World by Gerard Gorman and could add some citations, but the article is more detailed than my book, so I could not cite everything. Would you like me to add what I can? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:36, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Sure, that would be good. Unfortunately, the Germans have set a different standard for citation. Their version is the equivalent of a Featured Article (they call it "Exzellent"). I guess this also means I should stop translating until the DYK process has run its course. Thanks, Samsara 12:30, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I have added some citations, but have not got anything much on "Sounds", not enough to cover the whole of both paragraphs anyway. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:16, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I just checked, and it's still eligible after removing those sections. Samsara 17:29, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
 * It should be OK now, apart from the last sentence in the Distribution section. The IUCN does not mention how common it is as far as I can see. You will need someone else to review the nomination. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:46, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
 * ✅ Offending two sentences removed. Samsara 18:45, 19 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Full review needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:35, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough, 5x expanded, citation issues resolved. Approving ALT0 as it seems more interesting than ALT1. Typology section is a bit sparse, but that's simply room for improvement. --Usernameunique (talk) 00:18, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
