List of Oklahoma birds
This list follows much of the same format as List of North American birds, is well illustrated, and is referenced. Self-nomination. Dsmdgold July 2, 2005 15:46 (UTC)


 * Full Support Oppose: 1) MoS does not recommend having the headings wikified. 2) I'm not familiar with our feathered friends, could a little info be added under each heading? 3) Are there any other references that can be added? (not a major objection). I'll support if these are taken care of.  =Nichalp   «Talk»=
 * 1)Corrected. 2)I need more guidance, what sort of info would be useful? There is a link to each family's article at the start of each section. 3)I've added a link to the online list maintained by the Oklahoma Bird Records Commitee. The date guide, though, is the definitive source, any other source would be derivitive of it. Dsmdgold July 2, 2005 19:49 (UTC)
 * A little info. I've not heard of Grebes, Frigatebirds etc. A small one line info would be good. A small picture in each section would be more descriptive too. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  July 3, 2005 06:04 (UTC)
 * Good work so far. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  July 4, 2005 19:13 (UTC)
 * Thank you, this is a busy week for me, so it will take a few days to get all of the sections done. It looks like all but three or four sections will have pictures. Dsmdgold July 5, 2005 04:45 (UTC)
 * Ok all of the families have description of them, and all but 8 have an image. For three of those 8 (Frigatebirds, Parrots, and Silky-flycatchers), I chose not to put a picture up because I feel that a picture gives such prominence to the bird that birds that are accidental, hypothetical, or extinct, should not have pictures, and these families only have those types of species on the list.  For the other five there are either no pictures available on Wikipedia, or there are no suitable pictures available. Dsmdgold 17:22, July 10, 2005 (UTC)
