This list of bird common names in English is wrong. It is completely wrong. English names have a STRICT CONVENTION with birds that has been deliberately changed by a PERSONAL WIKI style decision. This decision is not WIKI's right to take. Birds are unique in this style application; they are NOT like other groups. In fact, English bird names are the most precise and correct because of the tremendous upheaval in taxonomy that comes from DNA and digital technologies. They are more reliable right now than the Latin, and that did not used to be the case. I am an ornithologist and rely upon standard English names in my daily work and have done so for years. The reference should be Clements Checklist from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.

WIKI does NOT have the right to circumvent scientific convention; rather, it has the OBLIGATION to comply with it. "Elmidae" and "SchreiberBike" cannot change these conventions because of a personal interpretation of what WIKI style should be.

Once more I will try to clarify the problem; bird names are not the same as other organisms. The references are very consistent. In essence, English names are now the most important, even more so than Latin during this time of upheaval. Other countries do indeed have the inconsistencies mentioned in their languages' common names. NOT SO IN ENGLISH.

This question cannot be managed or administrated by a non-specialist. It cannot be managed by WIKI internally. It has to be based on the Clements Checklist or the equivalent. (Other lists differ on the "splits or lumps" going on with modern taxonomic change, but not with their application of English language conventions.)

Please recognize the uniqueness and infexibility of these conventions with respect to birds. 190.216.133.34 (talk) 12:25, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
