 * Hi, sorry about the confusion on the barn swallow, go ahead with the posting, it's my fault for being slow to register that it was a quote. Perhaps after the firt sentence of taxonomy might be a better location though. If you have any problems formatting the refs, let me know. jimfbleak (talk) 09:57, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Birds of Turkey
Hi WikiLambo: Happy you've joined us, and great to hear that you're tackling Turkey. There's a potentially usesul list at List of birds of Turkey. Going only on what I've found in other bot generated lists (these were created automatically from the Avibase system by another wiki editor), there may be lots of errors! :P Good luck on the Masters; what's your topic? BTW, don't worry if you don't have loads of time to contribute. Few of us do, but we're all chipping away where we can... MeegsC | Talk 19:17, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Jackdaw
Hi, I've restored the Jackdaw of Rheims. The Aesop deleted text was ''In several stories from Aesop's Fables the jackdaw is referenced. Such stories are: "The Jackdaw and the Doves", "The Eagle and the Jackdaw", "The Escaped Jackdaw", "The Eagle, the Jackdaw and the Shepherd", and "The Jackdaw and His Borrowed Feathers". doesn't mention the Jackdaw and the Peacock''. I left the others because they had references, doesn't necessarily mean they should stay. The pangram, for example, is nothing to do with the bird as such.

There is a list of bird FAs at the project page. Two of these, Red-billed Chough and Common Raven, are about corvid species, so there are plently of examples to look at. If you start on this as an FA, let me know if you need any help. There are lots of images on commons jimfbleak (talk) 07:28, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi there

Its best you place your concerns on the article's talk page. That way, all significant contributors will be able to see it, and any discussion can be kept in one place, rather than spread across several talk pages. I have no objections to any changes being made - but with WP:FA status, its best to discuss things before making significant edits. Parrot of Doom (talk) 13:38, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Help for Lost Lexicographers
If you feel alone in encyclopaedia, you might want to come to where far more lexicographers hang out and do actual lexicography. It has a tea room. Uncle G (talk) 16:29, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Main Page appearance: Western Jackdaw
This is a note to let the main editors of Western Jackdaw know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on April 22, 2013. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director or one of his delegates (,, and ), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. You can view the TFA blurb at Today's featured article/April 22, 2013. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:

The Western Jackdaw is a passerine bird in the crow family. The name derives from the word "jack", meaning "small", and "daw", its native English name. Found across Europe, western Asia and North Africa, it is mostly resident, although northern and eastern populations migrate south in winter. Four subspecies are recognised, which mainly differ in the colouration of the plumage on the head and nape. Linnaeus first described it formally. Later analysis of its DNA shows that, with its closest relative the Daurian Jackdaw, it is an early offshoot from the genus Corvus, and possibly distinct enough to warrant reclassification in a separate genus, Coloeus. Measuring 34 – in length, the Western Jackdaw has black plumage with a grey nape and distinctive pale-grey irises. It is gregarious and vocal, living in small groups with a complex social structure in farmland, open woodland, on coastal cliffs, and in urban settings. An omnivorous and opportunistic feeder, it eats a wide variety of plant material and invertebrates, as well as food waste from urban areas. Western Jackdaws are monogamous and build simple nests of sticks in cavities in trees, cliffs, or buildings. UcuchaBot (talk) 23:02, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 14
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Many-banded krait, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Telegu. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
