Suggestion
If you didn't already know, Google Scholar is a really useful tool. It basically gives you all of the journal articles, popular science books, etc. all in one place. RileyBugz 会話 投稿記録 16:45, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Hey! What I normally do for the information is go to google books, for example this. For the same example in google scholar, would it be this? Adityavagarwal (talk) 17:35, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, for the description, I'd advise against using Google Scholar—if you can have somebody email you copies of a nice handbook, like HBW, then do that. If you can't, then Google Books is your best bet. But Google Scholar is incredibly useful for the behaviour section. RileyBugz 会話 投稿記録  17:41, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
 * RileyBugz Will definitely refer to google scholar from the next time. Also, it is really really helpful if such advice is given (especially by experienced editors like you). I hope I am doing better than before, and it would be great if you could tell me in the future too if I could improve on anything! Thank you very much.
 * Also, I think the taxonomy section of the brown pelican looks good. Thanks to HBW, and a few more resources (all because of your advice earlier). What do you think about the section? Adityavagarwal (talk) 17:46, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Autopatrolled granted
Hi Adityavagarwal, I just wanted to let you know that I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&page=User%3AAdityavagarwal added] the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing!  Schwede 66  08:54, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

Rollback permission granted
I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3AAdityavagarwal granted] the "rollbacker" permission to your account. After a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Administrators' guide/Rollback and Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, contact me and I will remove it. Good luck and thanks. -- There'sNoTime (to explain) 07:25, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for this! I am honoured. Adityavagarwal (talk) 07:27, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

 * Thank you! I hope I was helpful. Also, on phone, you could try the desktop version of Wikpedia instead of the mobile version, as the desktop version has far many more features compared to the mobile version. See this discussion we had, to switch to the desktop version. Adityavagarwal (talk) 13:49, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

Mallard
No worries, and thank you for taking criticism well (I know it can sting). I'm happy to help on working it up to FAC status, it is an important article that should be. The rest of WP:BIRD should be able to pitch in too Sabine's Sunbird  talk
 * Criticism? I doubt that could be taken as a criticism, by anybody! If fact, you gave your reviews and it might have been a wastage of your time, so I should be apologizing for that, as it is my fault. Despite that, you gave your useful reviews. I hope I would not cause any problems in the future. I just need a momentum, and one or two more reviews during GA done by experienced bird editors like you would help a lot, just like I learnt more than half of what I currently know, from the review done by Cas on the mallard. Again, thank you very much. Also, of course, you could help on getting it too FA.  Adityavagarwal (talk) 03:00, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
