List of tapaculos already has three supports, so here we are with our next order of birds. Cranes are definitely more interesting than tapaculos, and more importantly, had up-to-date IUCN refs on their articles instead of me having to go out and format 60 different references manually (the joys of editing, I tell you). Thanks for reviewing! AryKun (talk) 20:14, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World and HBW and BirdLife Taxonomic Checklist should be italicized
    • Done.
  • Header: Genus Grus – Brisson, 1760 – 8 species - Grus is linked to a disambig page
    • Fixed.
  • The top image should have no period at the end of its caption, since the caption isn't a complete sentence
    • Done.

AryKun, that's all, lovely work. MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 21:31, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Some quick comments, nothing too major:

  • Ref. 1 uses a different format
    • Changed to Cite journal
  • Images need alt text (the maps aren't critical, but the pictures of cranes should briefly describe appearances)
    • Added, I think maps don't need alts because the range description provides a sufficient alternative
  • If BirdLife International is going to only be linked once in references, it should be at the first occurrence (ref. 3)
    • I currently count 3 such links – either link only 1 or all of them
      • Linked all.

Another list! And of some very striking birds, too.

  • First off, I suggest you change the section heading for the list proper from "Cranes" to "Gruids" to match previous lists.
    • Done.
  • Cranes fly with their necks extended outwards instead of bent into an S-shape and their long legs outstretched. Why is this significant? Does it differentiate them from, say, storks or herons? You might want to note why this fact needs saying.
    • Added that it helps tell them apart from herons; I'd like a better reference for that, but most proper field guides assume that you know this.
  • The cladogram is a bit big; I'd say extend it horizontally so the names aren't being pushed down a line but I understand that that involves technical aspects out of your expertise.
    • Expanded.
  • Why doesn't the Siberian crane have a range map? There's one in their article.
    • Added.
  • All the sources look good, a spot check reveals no issues, and there is (unsurprisingly) no copyvio per Earwig.
