Beautiful Nuthatch edit

Illustration of Sitta formosa, by John Gould and H. C. Richter

  • ... that even though the range of the Beautiful Nuthatch (pictured) is very large, approaching 376,000 km2 (234,000 mi2), the species is nevertheless rare, being highly localized in its distribution?

5x expanded by Fuhghettaboutit (talk), Totodu74 (talk). Nominated by Fuhghettaboutit (talk) at 23:00, 29 April 2014 (UTC).

  • This is a substantial, more than five-fold expansion, article and is new enough and long enough and the image is in the public domain. The several facts in the hook are well-sourced, and I have added one extra citation to cover the necessary inline citation for "being highly localized in its distribution". By the way, I don't see much of a contribution to the article by Totodu74 (1 trivial edit). Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:10, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
  • @Cwmhiraeth: Hey Cwmhiraeth, thanks for looking! Totodu74 is the main writer of the French featured article which I translated (see the copyright attribution notes in the English article's history). My work relies substantially on his, and therefore, I think it only appropriate that he receive credit as well.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 15:54, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
Right, that's fine then. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:31, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
