 * Comment - It would be nice if capitalisation and use of hyphen here was consistent. It's clear that 'white-faced' is correctly hyphenated, but different sources disagree about hyphenating 'storm petrel'. There is no need for capitals in the common name of a species.

 * Comment You are not correct ProfDEH in your didactic criticism. Birds Britannica uses White-faced Storm-petrel. American usage favours capitals, British usage is often lower case. Both White-faced Storm-Petrel and White-faced storm-petrel can be used. It is unusual for storm petrel to be unhyphenated, but it is found, and not only on Wikipedia.

 * By the same logic you would capitalise Fox or Seagull surely. But my objection is mainly that name on the image and in the article are different. ProfDEH (talk) 13:52, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
 * The use of capitals is usually determines by a publication's style guide. Here on Wikipedia, there is no such constraint. And on the subject of bird names, there is no such bird as a seagull! Charlesjsharp (talk)
 * Since files from Commons are used on a wide variety of Wikipedias and other projects, trying to standardise that isn't really that doable. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.7% of all FPs 17:26, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
