Common and Wilson's Snipe

[edit]

Common and Wilson's Snipe have been officially split for a few years now. I've split both articles. I hope it works for everyone.......Pmeleski 00:10, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sound file is wrong

[edit]

The sound file is completely wrong, there is no "scape scape" nor drumming in this sound file. The proper sound file can be heard at whatbird.com. It is a clear and very distinctive sound. Unfortunately I am unable to link due to an erroneous spam glitch--Tallard (talk) 17:32, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

– Invert the redirections as the consensus and guidelines recommend not to capitalise the common (vernacular) names of species. See Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style#Bird common name decapitalisation and Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Animals, plants, and other organisms. Coreyemotela (talk) 09:26, 4 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support, finally. If this is proceeding according to some category-walking patterns, be it taxonomic or geographical, that seems like a good idea. Anyone who's taking on the downcasing in the actual article text, please see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Birds#The conversion is challenging; there are devils in the details. There's talk elsewhere of using bots or AWB scripts to move a lot of these articles and decapitalize within them, but I suspect this will be difficult to sort out, and the work might as well get started manually while that is worked up. A deeper question is how many of these are at IOC names that are not actually the WP:COMMONNAMEs, and thus need a different kind of move, for article titling policy reasons (many IOC names are made up by IOC and are unattested outside their own materials. Sometimes the scientific name is most common, in other cases other English-language or assimilated non-English names are common and the IOC ones are neologisms. In most cases the IOC names are fine.  — SMcCandlish ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ʌ≼  19:49, 4 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong picture

[edit]

The picture of the Gallinago gallinago feroeensis actually shows a whimbrel, Numenius phaeopus. I suppressed it. Jachaus (talk) 08:08, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(Another) wrong picture

[edit]

The main photo above the taxobox is from Wales, Utah (not Wales in the UK) and is evidently of the North American Wilson’s snipe Gallinago delicata (distinct from Gallinago gallinago as of the 2007 creation of the Wilson's snipe article). Birdsage3 (talk) 20:33, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
