Griffon Vulture
Hi, BevyJohn,

Welcome to Wikipedia and thanks for your efforts to add material to the Griffon vulture article.

I wish to offer some advice which will help you on Wikipedia and at university:
 * Please don't include your institution's account ID in ProQuest links.
 * Google Scholar is a valuable resource for locating alternate (e.g. non-paywalled) versions of academic papers, such as this copy of the Demerdzhiev paper.
 * Take care to italicize species names and capitalize proper nouns in article titles.
 * Also take care to discern which are the authors' surnames / family names versus their given / first names. If it's unclear in the by-line, then the article's references section can give a hint (authors often cite themselves).
 * The Cite journal template is not mandatory, but it can be helpful with formatting, and it adds metadata to the page. The editing toolbar has a form which makes this template easy to fill out. There is a variety of citation styles on Wikipedia and several other templates are available. Similarly, if you were writing a paper or thesis at university, you would probably use a reference manager (is EndNote still around?) to allow easy transformation to different citation standards.

You can see a modified version of the reference citation here (manually formatted without use of citation template).

Good luck with your studies! Pelagic (talk) 18:22, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
