List of North Carolina birds[edit]

I've been working on this list and believe that it now meets all of the Featured List Criteria. It is comprehensive, easy to understand, illustrated with revelent and diverse pictures, and based upon the other bird FLs, especially the recently passed list for Massachusetts, which I used as the base for this article when writing it. Thanks. Rufous-crowned Sparrow (talk) 04:35, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support: meets the criteria, has a good lead, and is well-illustrated. My only question is whether there is a way to keep the images from overlapping the bar at the end of each section. Other than that, it looks great! Cheers, heyjude. 00:55, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The overlap of the images bothers me too; however, they are all thumb size per MOS and the only way to eliminate the gap is either to cut the pictures (no) or to expand the intro on each family. I may fiddle a bit with some expansion of the family descriptions to eliminate the overflow. Rufous-crowned Sparrow (talk) 01:12, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Well done. Don't worry about the overlap - the only way I've ever dealt with that is by writing more, which isn't always productive. Geraldk (talk) 03:41, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Great list! Drewcifer (talk) 17:19, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support (although IMO the image of the cardinal in the lead section is unnecessarily large). --Orlady (talk) 17:53, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I made the cardinal pic smaller- is it better now? Rufous-crowned Sparrow (talk) 00:24, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, thanks! --Orlady (talk) 22:23, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
