Hello, I'll start working on this review. I have a subscription to BoW so at the very least I can verify from there. Good work on the rewrite; I'll give specific feedback when I find it's needed. Reconrabbit 18:20, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • checkY though I made a small change to the wording on flock size. Summarizes the article's content well.
Taxonomy and systematics
[edit]
  • Defining "clade" seems atypical of similar quality bird articles. The term is linked to a defining page anyway. Definition could be removed?
  • I think the gloss helps since it allows readers to understand the jargon without having to click through to other articles.
  • Fair enough.
Distribution and habitat
[edit]
  • (This might be an issue only because I can't verify Pigeons and Doves) does the species' vagrancy between these islands confirm they travel between New Ireland and New Britain or just suggest it?
  • "Thought to be a vagrant to some small islands between New Britain and New Ireland, suggesting it moves between the two larger islands" is what P&D says. I changed the exact phrasing a bit because I didn't want to repeat "suggesting".
Behaviour and ecology
[edit]
  • "The only known black imperial pigeon nest was found in January" January 1994? Also reflected in the top (lead) paragraph.
  • Done.
Status
[edit]
  • "Lack of sufficient population decline" is an awkward construction but I don't immediately see how this could be said differently. checkY
  • "Generally common locally in mountainous regions" Locally may be extraneous?
  • It's not common throughout the mountains. from P&D: "Locally common in the mountains"

References

[edit]
  • Appropriate layout according to MoS. checkY
  • No copyright violations stemming from references. Prose is markedly different from selected phrases in the referenced documents (BoW) behind a paywall. Google search is down on the copyright-checking tool for now. I believe it passes muster checkY

Checking sources

[edit]
  • [1] checkY
  • [2] checkY
  • [6] checkY
  • [7] checkY
  • [8] checkY in most places but I don't see a confirmation on "silver-tipped imperial pigeon" here or anywhere else on the web.
  • [11] checkY

Images

[edit]
  • One image that depicts the species. Quality is okay. License is appropriate. checkY

Other notes/comments

[edit]
  • Neutral POV in writing. checkY
  • There isn't a lot of information on the species that I could find, but the work done in writing the article appears thorough given the scarcity of reliable research.
  • No edit wars going on now or in the past. checkY
