Edit Request

Hey, so under the "Flight Physiology" section the redundant phrase "most superlative" is used. This could be replaced with any number of superlative words such as "best", "greatest", "most skilled", etc. Furthermore, it might be a bit more friendly to normal users to use "predatory" or "birds-of-prey" over "raptorial" since raptorial is an extremely uncommon word. Thanks for the word choice consideration!

Edit Request

There seems to be a lot of ambiguous use of the term "race" (which occurs 30 times) throughout the Golden Eagle page. It is even more confusing that in certain instances it is being used as species and in others it is being used as subspecies, and it yet others it seems to be referring subspecies within regions. While it is relatively comprehensible without these changes, it is probably worth editing for clarity and scientific accuracy. I don't have the privileges to do this myself and it should probably be done by someone who knows enough about Golden Eagles that they will be able to make the proper replacements. Thanks for the consideration!

Just in case the reporting user is somehow right and nobody ever noticed, see Wikipedia:Help desk#Golden Eagle page. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:14, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Roadguy2 (talk) 19:58, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Killing permits

Section 8 which is entitled "killing permits" needs revision. First of all only one citation is accessible. This is footnote 111. Footnote 110 is a dead end; nothing comes up when you click on it. So you have only one citation on which this inflammatory heading is based. And if you actually read the accessible article (which is a blurb from the ABC network and not a science journal) no permits have been issued to kill eagles of any kind. The article states that windmill companies have been given 30 year permits to operate instead of 5 year permits because they couldn't make a go of it in only 5 years. The permit costs $36,000 and the company doesn't have to pay a large fine if eagles are killed but the article doesn't mention what that fine has been and whether the cost of the permit is large enough to cover one fine or several fines. The article goes on to say.....

"The proposal will grant access to critical data about eagles, the source said. It will also allow the administration to work with companies in where the companies place their machines -- hopefully to help avoid possible eagle populations.:

“The permitting system gives us access to eagles and eagle mortalities that we wouldn’t otherwise have,” the source said. “It’s a great mechanism for us to work proactively to prevent eagle deaths.”

However there is no explanation regarding how this permitting system works and how it would grant access to information about eagle deaths and how it would prevent eagle deaths. In other words it is a poorly written piece that gives the reader conflicting information. It should not be used as a citation here for a section of the article that's already got problems due to the inflammatory and biased nature of the title. Since renewable/non-polluting sources of energy aren't common and windmills provide both it is especially irresponsible to tack on what amounts to an uninformed pot shot at an industry that might do a lot of good.

Wikipedia has difficulty keeping biased opinion out of its articles and this is just one more example. The section needs revision or removal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.138.89.122 (talk) 02:23, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How can you change X to Y when X is based on one poorly written and researched article? I'm assuming you're talking about the "killing permits" section? It's completely wrong and needs to be removed. Completely with no substitute since it's an unfounded allegation. If the editor doesn't think it's unfounded then the editor needs to supply a lot more information and citations to back up the claim. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.252.183.253 (talk) 23:14, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
