  • Where does the weight go in this box? Snowman (talk) 07:28, 14 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
I'll add that now. Bob the WikipediaN (talkcontribs) 16:37, 14 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

  • I think that the male and female symbols do not need to be coloured, since uncoloured symbols are distinctive enough. Snowman (talk) 07:29, 14 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
I wondered about that myself. I'll change that. Bob the WikipediaN (talkcontribs) 16:37, 14 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

The symbols used do not show up well on my screen. Can they be emboldened? Snowman (talk) 18:19, 14 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
Better? I tried bolding the characters, which still looked ugly, but these black SVG images look like they will suffice. Bob the WikipediaN (talkcontribs) 21:16, 14 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
  • I think that the box needs to be linked to a page that explains the definition of the measurements that are provided. Snowman (talk) 07:32, 14 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
That sounds doable. Bob the WikipediaN (talkcontribs) 16:37, 14 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
  Done, but I'm not happy with the target pages. Some articles need writing, it would seem. Bob the WikipediaN (talkcontribs) 16:55, 14 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
  • Template could include the category "Bird pages with an information box for key measurements". Snowman (talk) 07:35, 14 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
Can do. Bob the WikipediaN (talkcontribs) 16:37, 14 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
  Done Bob the WikipediaN (talkcontribs) 16:55, 14 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
  • Can egg size be included? Is there a need for a separate box for egg size, shape, and colour, with a photograph of the egg. Snowman (talk) 07:42, 14 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
A separate box with those stats does sound like a good idea, but I don't know how cluttered it will make the articles look. Bob the WikipediaN (talkcontribs) 16:37, 14 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
Egg sizes and colours may not be what this new bird size box is for. Snowman (talk) 18:15, 14 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
