:Thanks very much for your help. I'll go through this later. I'm currently working on the [[Eurasian Rock Pipit]] article. The only thing I wouldn't agree with is conversion to imperial measurements, as it's a scientific article. The science community widely uses only the metric system (e.g. in computing, biology and aquaculture at university I'm only allowed to use the metric system in assignments; many of the scientific journals I've read use exclusively metric measurements; the astronomy project on Wikipedia uses only the metric system). As well as that, it's easy to convert to imperial in your head (1 inch ≈ 2.5 centimetres; 1 foot ≈ 30 centimetres; 1 yard ≈ 90 centimetres). And this is a European species. Of course, if it's mandatory I'll update the article but I don't think it should be. Everything else you've pointed out, I'll get onto as soon as possible. --'''[[User:Teb00007|<span style="color:red">teb</span><span style="color:blue">00007</span>]]''' <sup>[[User talk:Teb00007|<span style="color:orange">Talk</span>]] • [[Special:Contributions/Teb00007|<span style="color:green">Contributions</span>]]</sup> 06:19, 5 August 2013 (UTC) |

I noticed your comment to Snowman. Why don't you enable Wiki-Ed in preferences? That highlights text, shows links and formatting. Also has useful tools, eg to convert the ndash hmtl to an actual dash in page ranges Jimfbleak - talk to me? 05:58, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks. I've just enabled it and it's much the same as the software I was using, only better. :) --teb00007 Talk • Contributions 15:02, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Woodlark
I'm not going to review this because I don't feel I'm impartial enough, but some comments
- You need to extend the lead to be a fuller summary. There are entire sections, like the subspecies and feeding that aren't mentioned
- Taxonomy. You don't say it's the only member of its genus, or say anything about the larks as a family
- How do the subspecies differ?
- You may be asked to give imperial conversions of units
- Check grammar, "lark" shouldn't be capitalised, "The Woodlark prefers... They "
- Check refs for consistency, eg, some initials have a full stop, some don't
You could put your nom on the project page, might attract a reviwer. Good luck, let me know if you need help Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:03, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
