- This move was requested in a long list of routine decapitalizations, but this seems to be a special case: ref old discussion quoted here. Some say that the Magnificent Frigatebird is not the same as any frigatebird which happens in someone's opinion to be magnificent. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 08:37, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
- ----------------------------------------
- Mav. That was an incorrect move. It's the Magnificent Frigatebird, not a magnificent frigatebird. Like the Brown Rat isn't the brown rat. Mintguy
- Ok. I'm wrong. I understand now (probably), I've always been confused about when to use capitalization. Mintguy
- Actually it's Magnificent Frigatebird and brown rat. The capitalization of common names rule only technically applies to birds. --Aranae 05:22, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)

- Support move to Magnificent frigatebird. Species names are not capitalised. See Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Archive 156#Bird common name decapitalisation and Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Animals, plants, and other organisms. Coreyemotela (talk) 20:34, 17 May 2014 (UTC).
