Hi Cas, I've signed up for this review. Will have comments here in a day or three. Sasata (talk) 13:56, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
- okay (actually, sort of a null edit as I was just getting this page on my watchlist....actually I suppose I could have just clicked the star above rather than typed all this needless commentary...) :)Casliber (talk · contribs) 04:19, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Comments
mention sex of individual in taxobox image caption?
what is a frons?might "nondescript" be a better adjective rather than "undistinguished" to described the female color?
citation for etymology of species name
- "Given this, Quoy and Gaimard's name was declared a nomen oblitum and Gould's a nomen protectum." Source?
"Older common names include…" next sentence "Other names include…" reword to avoid repetition
"robin redbreast" in the lead vs. "Robin Red-breast" in taxonomy
- link/gloss lore
dang, the only things i can find aren't good - there is List of terms used in bird topography (which at least has a diagram) and Bird_anatomy#Head. I will expand one and link - probably the latter.Casliber (talk · contribs) 04:06, 26 August 2010 (UTC)Linked to Bird_anatomy#Head which contains a one line description of lore. Needs to be expanded on destination page but provides raw outline as it is.Casliber (talk · contribs) 14:59, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
Cite needed tag in Dist & Habitat
"… migratory Flame Robins invaded and ecked out their territories …" ecked?
"The Flame Robin engages in a number of aggressive displays, including a breast-puffing display where it puffs its breast feathers, a white spot display where it puffs its feathers to accentuate its frontal white crown, white wing markings or white outer tail feathers." I don't think the last should be counted as an aggressive display in which the bird "engages". Might also want to reword "engage in singing" in the next sentence for less repetition.
"Unlike other robins, the female sometimes initiates selection." clarify "selection"
"Three or four dull white eggs tinted bluish, greyish or brownish and splotched with dark grey-brown measure 18 mm x 14 mm, and are laid on consecutive days." incomplete sentencen/m, looks ok now, verb is "measure" Sasata (talk) 21:18, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
Lit search: looks like there's some room for expansion. Here's what I get from a full Web of Knowledge search for "Petroica phoenicea", with "All databases" selected:

- Not done unclear - reports on many spp. and diversity in general. Says Flame Robin one of several species that "respond to coarse-scale (farm-level) features such as different farm-level management practices, rather than planting-level features." - but doesn't explain what these practices are in this case.

Thanks for all the lit-search - alot of it is hard to access and is isolated records here and there. I think I have most of the good bits now, and Higgins does a great job summarising just about everything we know - can you get any I haven't marked as done/not done above (I will double chekc the last Emu one)? Long shot I know.... Casliber (talk · contribs) 02:03, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
