Dusky seaside sparrow

The dusky seaside sparrow (Ammospiza maritima nigrescens) was a non-migratory subspecies of the seaside sparrow, found in Florida in the natural salt marshes of Merritt Island and along the St. Johns River. Discovered in 1872 by Charles Johnson Maynard, it was distinguished from other seaside sparrows by its dark coloration and distinct song. From the 1940s onwards, the dusky seaside sparrow population declined and eventually went extinct. This was the result of human activity in the area including pesticides and flooding applied to reduce mosquito populations, industrial expansion, and highway construction. The last definite known individual died on Discovery Island in Walt Disney World in 1987, and the subspecies was declared extinct in 1990.

"Users of Wikipedia do get to recognise which parts are shaky, but the unwise may suddenly stumble into benighted stretches, like some crinkum-crankum byway in old London, where footpads lurked and communicable diseases were offered at low prices."
-- Christopher Howse in The Daily Telegraph, how very accurate.

Editor's quiz

Question 1

  • Wikipedia is:
  • (a) a social networking site for people who like to look quite clever
  • (b) a specialist website that allows sufferers of OCD to search for missing commas and fullstops
  • (c) an encyclopedia committee that expends 90% of its energy in pointless arguments over trivia
  • (d) a paranoid fascist organisation more concerned with enforcing rules than quality of content?
  • (e) a new religion
  • (f) a prolonged endurance test for those internet addictees, with failing eyesight and few remaining letters on their first generation laptops, who are still searching for the wiki-spellchecker
  • (g) "a poorly-run bureaucracy with the group dynamics of a cult" [7]
  • (h) an incessant pansy-throwing bickering match for know-it-all, more-knowledgeable-than-thou, big-headed show-offs
  • (i) a playground for internet bullies
