  • "It is sometimes considered to be a superspecies with the scrub, yellow-crowned and purple-throated euphonias." --> for more information, could you way 'why' it is considered to be a superspecies with these others?
8This is really good! Very understandable to someone who doesn't know what these mean! :D starsandwhales (talk) 00:09, 8 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • "It is largely allopatric with latter species, though it does overlap in a narrow zone in eastern Venezuela." --> since this just seems to be a wiktionary link, also including the definition of allopatric in the sentence would make it clearer
  • I've reworded this to say "Its range is largely distinct (allopatric) from that of the latter species, overlapping only in a narrow zone in eastern Venezuela." Does that work, or do I need to change it further? MeegsC (talk) 13:34, 7 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Personally I'd do a slight rewording to "Its range is largely distinct, or allopatric, from that of the latter species, overlapping only in a narrow zone in eastern Venezuela." but that's not really necessary.
  • "Females are virtually indistinguishable from female purple-throated euphonias (which have a slight grayish tinge to the upperparts) and both they and immature birds are probably not separable in the field." --> probably according to whom? "probably" isn't a very encyclopedia-y word if you know what I mean
  • I've changed the wording to "not thought to be separable in the field". The reference at the end of the sentence says "probably", but I've made it more "encyclopedia-y". ;) MeegsC (talk) 20:59, 2 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Distribution and habitat section is good
  • Could you find an image of the eggs?
  • AGF for book sources, the other sources look good
  • Though it isn't necessary, alt text for images would help with accessibility.
  • Done.
  • "It has a circular entrance in the side and is lined with finer material." --> what's an example of finer material?
  • Do juveniles have any variation in diet compared to the adults?
  • What are the time frames when these birds mature?
  • I've added the generation length. I can find nothing about when breeding first occurs. I assume it's the summer following the bird's hatching (i.e. when more than 1 year old), but it would be OR to say so. MeegsC (talk) 14:17, 7 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Conservation status looks good


Everything looks good! I'm going to look at everything again tomorrow, but you should be alright. starsandwhales (talk) 00:09, 8 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
