I'm not sure what variety of English is being used (behavior/grey). As per varieties of English policy, it should be in BE, since that is the official language of the only islands in which it occurred.

I switched the greys to grays (Wikipedia has ruined me with this word; I never can remember which is AE). I don't have a problem with it being in BE, but don't feel confident in translating it without missing something and leaving it a mixture. I think it is currently all AE: is there an easy way (script perhaps) to turn it to BE? Rufous-crowned Sparrow (talk) 17:01, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

six skins- three male and three female- — hyphens should be mdashes
peoples of Choiseul called the species either "kumku-peka" or "kukuru-ni-lua," — the language being?

The source didn't specify the name of the language, and there are at least four on the island. I linked to a page on Choiseul languages. Rufous-crowned Sparrow (talk) 17:01, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'd link non-migratory, carnivorous, gizzard
was honored on a stamp — not sure that the right word for an extinct bird, "commemorated" might be better.
Rothschild ref (#5) is missing a word in title, and shouldn't be fully capped even if it was in the source.

What word? I think that the article starts with Rothschild's description of the genus, with the species name as a section of the same article. I did lower case and put a "." after gen. Rufous-crowned Sparrow (talk) 17:01, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My error, I was looking at the n sp heading on the next page

Good luck Jimfbleak - talk to me? 14:52, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review. I think I've done all of your comments above except for the ones with notes. Rufous-crowned Sparrow (talk) 17:01, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've no further comments, but I'm a bit pushed for time so I won't do the image check and formal assessment until tomorrow. Do you want me to translate to BE? Jimfbleak - talk to me? 18:30, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
