Possible typo in description of flamingoes
Should the description say, "A large species of flamingo" or should it say, "a species of large flamingo"? The latter sounds more grammatically correct. However, if the species has a large number of individuals, saying "a large species of flamingo" might be accurate. Odelphi (talk) 16:56, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Changing quotation
, I noticed that you been changing the words in a number of quotations (e.g ). Are you looking at the sources, and finding they have been transcribed incorrectly? Or are you merely improving on the grammar of a quotation, regardless of what the author writes? Or something else? Jayjg (talk) 19:04, 19 August 2020 (UTC) , you continue to change quotations (e.g ). Can you explain what your source is for the change? Jayjg (talk) 21:37, 19 August 2020 (UTC)


 * I am trying to improve on the grammar. Odelphi (talk) 22:13, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
