Propose renaming (moving) article: from Gymnophaps to Mountain-pigeon
[edit]In keeping with WP:NCCN, articles on plants and animals are usually under the common name when there is one. All these birds are called Mountain-pigeon, so it seems that would be a better article title than Gymnophaps.--Brambleshire (talk) 02:26, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

- It's published by the Oriental Bird Club, which is a respected ornithological organization and receives editorial oversight from the Club. It's mostly used for field notes and shorter articles and has had multiple significant articles published in it, like the rediscovery of the black-browed babbler. The specific article cited has also been used in over 20 other publications as a reference and is the basis on which the IOU split the two species.

- Lead:
- "The species are allopatric (having geographically isolated populations) and" oh, thank you for the parenthetical explanation to avoid jargon - nothing to fix, but figured I'd give praise for something that often is missing in scientific articles
- Heh, yeah, thanks.
- "Nests are either shallow depressions in the forest floor and short grass or a platform of sticks placed at a height of several metres in a tree." awkward here... do you mean either "shallow depression in the forest floor and short grass" OR "a platform of sticks" or "shallow depression in the forest floor" OR "short grass" OR a "platform of sticks"?
- The former, reworded to make clearer.

- Description:
- "displays slight sexual dimorphism." what are the specific dimorphism characteristics?
- Added,
- "They can be distinguished from other pigeons" They here is all mountain pigeons or just the specific Papuan mountain pigeon (which is the last thing mentioned before the "they")
- All mountain pigeons, reworded to make clearer.
- "displays slight sexual dimorphism." what are the specific dimorphism characteristics?
- Breeding:
- "Mountain pigeons nests are either shallow depressions in the forest floor and short grass or a platform of sticks placed at a height of several metres in a tree" same problem with this sentence as mentioned above about the lead.

- I randomly googled three phrases and only turned up Wikipedia mirrors. Earwig's tool shows no sign of copyright violation.
- I've put the article on hold for seven days to allow folks to address the issues I've brought up. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, or here with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.
