December 2016

I am in Parkland, Bang Na, east of Bangkok, and we have at least one of those black pigeons here. It is coal black.(27.145.76.136 (talk) 08:49, 29 December 2016 (UTC))

Hello, I'll start working on this review. I have a subscription to BoW so at the very least I can verify from there. Good work on the rewrite; I'll give specific feedback when I find it's needed. Reconrabbit 18:20, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Text

Lead

• Y though I made a small change to the wording on flock size. Summarizes the article's content well.

Taxonomy and systematics

• Defining "clade" seems atypical of similar quality bird articles. The term is linked to a defining page anyway. Definition could be removed?

• I think the gloss helps since it allows readers to understand the jargon without having to click through to other articles.

• Fair enough.

Distribution and habitat

• (This might be an issue only because I can't verify Pigeons and Doves) does the species' vagrancy between these islands confirm they travel between New Ireland and New Britain or just suggest it?

• "Thought to be a vagrant to some small islands between New Britain and New Ireland, suggesting it moves between the two larger islands" is what P&D says. I changed the exact phrasing a bit because I didn't want to repeat "suggesting".

Behaviour and ecology

• "The only known black imperial pigeon nest was found in January" January 1994? Also reflected in the top (lead) paragraph.

• Done.

Status

• "Lack of sufficient population decline" is an awkward construction but I don't immediately see how this could be said differently. Y
• "Generally common locally in mountainous regions" Locally may be extraneous?

• It's not common throughout the mountains. from P&D: "Locally common in the mountains"

References

• Appropriate layout according to MoS. Y
• No copyright violations stemming from references. Prose is markedly different from selected phrases in the referenced documents (BoW) behind a paywall. Google search is down on the copyright-checking tool for now. I believe it passes muster Y

Checking sources

• [1] Y
• [2] Y
• [6] Y
• [7] Y
• [8] Y in most places but I don't see a confirmation on "silver-tipped imperial pigeon" here or anywhere else on the web.
• [11] Y

• P&D; I think GBooks has the page with the species account available as part of the preview.

Images

• One image that depicts the species. Quality is okay. License is appropriate. Y

Other notes/comments

• Neutral POV in writing. Y
• There isn't a lot of information on the species that I could find, but the work done in writing the article appears thorough given the scarcity of reliable research.
• No edit wars going on now or in the past. Y

• Reconrabbit, sorry for the long delay in addressing this, the page fell off my watchlist and I forgot about it afterwards. AryKun (talk) 22:00, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

  No worries, I ended up forgetting too... I'll finish up the source review now that I have the page preview. Reconrabbit 23:25, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
