editI ranked this medium importance due to it being a current event. Sabine's Sunbird talk 05:33, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
Images
editNow that we have a free image (great work Shyamal!) aren't we obliged to get rid of the fair use one? Fair use in this case is justified by the absence of a free image. Sabine's Sunbird talk 04:36, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks. I was actually quite surprised by the presence of the photograph. I do believe the author Ramana Athreya would consider contributing the image if someone sought it but until then I think it is not fair-use enough. Shyamal 05:14, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- I took it out and replaced it with yours. We should attempt to contact him for a free photograph (maybe he has others he can share, there are certainly plenty in the paper), until then we have a free one. Sabine's Sunbird talk 05:44, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Good article nomination
editMy suggestions:
lead is too shortIs there a link for Emei Shan Liocichla?"Small flocks are observed during January, whereas pairs were observed in May, with an estimated total of 14 individuals." (Source?)"The species was described in 2006..." (Source?)There aren't any external links.

- The Emei Shan Liocichla is the same thing as the Grey-faced Liocichla. Incidenatlly, the sole source is the article describing it (from 2006). I have to say I'm uncertain this is GA quality yet. Sabine's Sunbird talk 03:21, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
- My suggestions were answered, but I'll wait until Sabine's Sunbird expresses a new opinion. Anyway thanks for the work. NCurse work 05:39, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
- I am confident that the article meets the GA criteria and so am passing it as the hold has run for well over a week. Eluchil404 21:36, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
Field sketch link under External links
editI removed this link from the section External links as it was not linking to the Field sketch as claimed. I tried to look where on the OB site the sketch is but drew a naught. Hope somebody can add the correct link. Prashanthns (talk) 01:04, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
