- Hi, I'll review this article. You might be puzzled by why you didn't have to wait for a month before getting a review, but I've written so many articles about extinct parrots lately that I thought it would be interesting to read something about an extant one...

- Hmmm, 'insanely grateful' might be a more apt description...but hey Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 14:07, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
- The video doesn't seem relevant under feeding, and doesn't really add much, compared to some of the unused photos, for example. FunkMonk (talk) 13:33, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
- Good point - will have a look and shuffle.... Cas Liber (talk · contribs)
- For a start, the article feels a little empty, sure no other images here could be added?[1] FunkMonk (talk) 13:31, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
- Any range map? I could make one, if you provide a source. FunkMonk (talk) 13:31, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
- The synonyms need dates, and not sure why Bechstein isn't spelled out? FunkMonk (talk) 13:32, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
- I just found the type illustration of Psittacus edwardsii among unidentified parrot images from Levaillant's book, perhaps useful under taxonomy? https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Levaillant_Parrot_68.jpg FunkMonk (talk) 12:20, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
- The article doesn't clarify whether the authors of the synonyms were aware that it had been described already?
- "the species name being the Medieval Latin word azureus "blue"." Needs a source.
- Invalid subspecies should be listed in the taxobox as synonyms as well.
- "The name red-shouldered parakeet was incorrectly applied to this species." What does it apply to then?
- the source doesn't say on that page,
however I will check something else.aaah paradise parrot... Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 21:46, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
- the source doesn't say on that page,
- "Its neck and upperparts are grass-green, and tail is grass-green with yellow borders" Never seen a sentence like this, is it correct English?
- "The throat and chest are pale green and belly is yellow." Same here?
- "and has been recorded as black while nesting." Any explanation why?
- "Juvenile birds of both sexes have less extensive blue faces" Blue on their faces?
- "Their eyes open by day seven, and they are covered with grey down by day seven or eight." Wouldn't this fit better under breeding or behaviour?
- "Previously it had been recorded as far north as the Suttor River and Mackay." When is previously?
- "it vanished from much of its range" Why?
- "That year, many aviary species including several species of Australian parrot and members of the genus Neophema had exhibited neurological symptoms reminiscent of Newcastle disease." Sounds weird it was only that year, what happened since?
- The lead seems a bit short for an article of this length.
- Alright, fixes look good. Only point remaining is whether a clear image if a male should be added? There's a good one of the female, but none of the male. These appear to be our best ones:[5][6][7] FunkMonk (talk) 14:07, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
