Wow edit

Amazing work on the white browned nut hatch page, I'm quite impressed. You may just have a DYK coming your way... Mako001 (C)  (T) (The Alternate Mako) 03:19, 26 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thanks Mako001. My only goal is to nominate some of them into GA after going into French article. I still need help how to cite the ref 3, 5, 6, 15 and 17 thou. 2001:4455:1A9:E100:557A:CBB9:4DCF:663E (talk) 03:22, 26 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
I'll try running citation bot, that may help, if not I'll take a look at what can be done. Mako001 (C)  (T) (The Alternate Mako) 03:24, 26 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
No wonder citing biology-related is hard, lol. Oki, Thank you! 2001:4455:1A9:E100:557A:CBB9:4DCF:663E (talk) 03:26, 26 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

A cookie for you! edit

  My apologies for the reverts. It seemed like it might have been vandalism, and I can sometimes get over exuberant if it seems like someone is publishing a whole lot of vandalism at once. Have this cookie. Maybe consider creating a non-IP account too? Then all your edits wouldn't be tagged as "Likely bad faith" and that might keep away the over zealous vandalism fighters!   Th78blue (They/Them/Their • talk) 04:25, 26 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Ref fix edit

Hi, can you lend me a hand and fix ref 5 at White-browed nuthatch, thank you! 2001:4455:1A9:E100:557A:CBB9:4DCF:663E (talk) 05:29, 26 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

It's not a secure URL and my browser won't navigate it, so I haven't seen the source. Please just use a simple but readable ref format like
<ref>Souza, Jonas. "Evolution of Arboreal Birds with Long Beaks". ''Science Letters'', 2020, Vol. 23, Iss. 3, pages 123–135.</ref>

There are much more elaborate ways of formatting citations, but that'll do just fine until you get more familiar with them. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:44, 26 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Chiswick Chap I actually translated most of the content from French article. but unsure about the citation, sorry for using your time. 2001:4455:1A9:E100:983C:A642:9150:905C (talk) 10:51, 26 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

That's fine. Readability and verifiability are of the essence. When you feel strong and are seated comfortably with a nice warm drink, you can read Template:Cite journal which will tell you all you'll ever need to know. It isn't as bad as it looks, actually.
