Add Thai names?

[edit]

Wouldn't it be helpful to add Thai names, in Thai script and Romanized? Very, very few of the Thais I talk to – none of the villagers – are familiar with the English names of birds. 2001:FB1:49:4021:A165:B5DC:A7AE:CD4E (talk) 03:30, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That would be nice. If you have a reliable source for their names, that would be best. SchreiberBike | ⌨  23:39, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The Thailand Biodiversity Information Facility website https://thbif.onep.go.th/ seems to be a good resource. How should the additions be approached, considering that this is a featured list and having it contain partial information while the work is still in progress wouldn't be desirable for that status? --Paul_012 (talk) 03:25, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The list was marked as featured back in 2007 when standards were much less demanding. It's had major changes since then. Still, we could copy it to Talk:List of birds of Thailand/Temp (see Wikipedia:Subpages) and work on it there. If it would help, I could do that and add the additional column to each table. SchreiberBike | ⌨  22:35, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Table width

[edit]

With the Vector 2022 skin, the table width of 72% no longer fits with the default thumbnail sizes, causing the table to stack with the images, on my screen at least. --Paul_012 (talk) 03:29, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sarus crane

[edit]

User:Pvmoutside, in this edit where you changed the sarus crane's status from "Extirpated" to "Introduced", did you mean that it was extirpated and then reintroduced, or that the bird was non-native (which doesn't quite seem right)? (It seems the edit was part of an update to follow the 2021 edition of the Clements Checklist, but the edit summary wasn't quite clear on that.) --Paul_012 (talk) 03:47, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I use Avibase as the source. They list it as introduced. They could be wrong, but that's how they have it listed....Pvmoutside (talk) 03:04, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I presume the extirpated status is from a previous edition? Maybe that could be mentioned in a footnote, to make the context a bit clearer? --Paul_012 (talk) 13:22, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The Thai population did indeed go extinct before being reintroduced into the wild - see doi:10.2108/zsj.31.95 Shyamal (talk) 06:52, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
