FA notes

[edit]

Looking at this as part of the ongoing FA sweeps. This one currently needs a bit of a tuneup - there's some uncited text and the conservation status and population estimates need checked for updates. Hog Farm Talk 14:44, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, Hog Farm. We'll have a look. Right now, we're dealing with quite a few "in review" FAs, so it may be a while before we get to this one. MeegsC (talk) 16:51, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No rush at all. Just thought I'd put some notes down for when it gets to this points. It won't be going to FAR, so there's all the time in the world. Hog Farm Talk 17:02, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@MeegsC and Hog Farm: status? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:17, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

SandyGeorgia - My comments do not appear to have been addressed. Hog Farm Talk 00:22, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Article looks good now. In terms of comprehensiveness, I think the conservation status may need to delve into the why a bit more. See for instance[1][2] Femke (talk) 18:29, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Jimfbleak: - the article is looking in good shape now, just have a few questions:

  • The lead says the Netherland birds can travel about 90,000 km, but the body supports a figure closer to 50,000
  • " however National Geographic, The University of Alberta & Massachusetts Institute of Technology, concluded in 2010 that more than 50% of this species will live past their 30th birthday. " - not clear what is the source for this, as the two references in the paragraph are from 2001 and 1957

Marking as satisfactory, with this as another note in addition to Femke's. Hog Farm Talk 15:02, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Hog Farm and Femkemilene:, I've restructured and updated the conservation section, and used the refs listed below, for which thanks. I've adjusted the lead and removed the unsourced claim too Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:10, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
