Markham's storm petrel
  • ... that the Markham's storm petrel (pictured), a black storm petrel that nests in Peru and northern Chile, has been described as "one of the least known seabirds in the world"? Source: Quote, Jahnckea, Jamie (1993) and Jahnckea, Jamie (1994) for Peru nesting, and for Chile

5x expanded by Therapyisgood (talk). Self-nominated at 19:35, 31 May 2020 (UTC).[reply]

  • Article expansion occurred within the past week (5x expansion began on May 30), and is well over the 1500 character minimum. It has no neutrality issues, cites reliable references appropriately, and has no CV/paraphrasing issues that I saw. The hook is interesting and of an appropriate length. The picture is adorable (look at its little face!), shows up well at a small size, and is free. Overall an easy pass. ♠PMC(talk) 12:40, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If anyone has these sources feel free to add information about them to the article.

[edit]
  • The population estimate from here based on Brooke (2004), presumably Albatrosses and Petrels across the World (Bird Families of the World) First Edition (ISBN 978-0198501251)

Thank you! Therapyisgood (talk) 22:49, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think it should be also posted in WP:Birds talk page so they'll know you need help, I copy pasted it there. This looks like GA potential Therapyisgood. 171.49.253.43 (talk) 23:12, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't need you to link it, I need you to explain what it means because it's not a widely known word   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  13:01, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Cut. Therapyisgood (talk) 05:30, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
potassium nitrate is much more recognizable word   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  13:01, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sources use saltpeter. Therapyisgood (talk) 05:42, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think that's what it's trying to say. What's the rest of the paragraph say?   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  13:01, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think I got the context right. "It has been suggested that the group of northern genera, the Hydrobatinae, may have originated as a result of colonization of the north by some southern species, and one of the best candidates is Wilson's Storm-petrel (Oceanites oceanicus), a transequatorial migrant that winters abundantly in the Northern Hemisphere. The family has alternatively been called Oceanitidae, in order to emphasize the greater antiquity of the southern group, although this has yet to be proved definitively." If you can find another source that says differently feel free to add, but I think I got the context right. Therapyisgood (talk) 18:14, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The way you juxtaposed it makes it sound like Wilson's storm petrel has been around since the Miocene, and originating means to come from, not to start   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  18:40, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Changed to "started". Therapyisgood (talk) 02:27, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I believe that is a reasonable inference from the source text. Therapyisgood (talk) 03:41, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Linking is not enough. You have to actually write down "The bird was thought by ornithologist/naturalist/French baker James L. Peters"   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  13:01, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure that is right but explained anyway. Therapyisgood (talk) 18:14, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
do it for every person mentioned   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  18:41, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Why? Therapyisgood (talk) 03:09, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I believe I've taken care of this. Therapyisgood (talk) 04:18, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"The genus Oceanodroma was found to be paraphyletic with respect to Hydrobates and all former Oceanodroma species were transferred to Hydrobates" if this happened then why is the name Hydrobates markhami not used in the article? Also, define paraphyletic   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  13:01, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
If you could define "paraphyletic" that would be great. Therapyisgood (talk) 04:36, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I've added a bit. Therapyisgood (talk) 05:14, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the review, I can get to these soon, perhaps over the next few days. Therapyisgood (talk) 22:06, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Therapyisgood: you still there?   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  13:40, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Therapyisgood: If you haven't responded by the end of the month, I will fail this for inactivity   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  15:51, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Dunkleosteus77: I've changed some things or said where I had some questions. Therapyisgood (talk) 08:25, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"Its ventral, or frontal, area, from the neck down" saying underside is less confusing   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  20:07, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Fuscous isn't an actual specific color, it's just a generic term for several grayish-brown colors   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  18:31, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Added "or brownish-gray". Therapyisgood (talk) 02:42, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"and in 2007, and Spear and Ainley"   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  16:53, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
yes   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  16:53, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Better to say "feed or rest"   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  16:11, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You shouldn't use scare quotes   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  16:11, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Outstanding issues

[edit]

We are currently preparing this article for re-nomination at WP:FAC. Since we are close to get this done, let's have a list of outstanding issues that need to be solved before nomination (please feel free to add if you spot an issue!). I start with two still outstanding issues from my old review at FAC:

  • Therapyisgood had the following issues, which I'm not sure if have been taken care of: "Wilson's storm petrel Oceanites oceanicus may have been the first storm petrel to inhabit the Northern Hemisphere, thus possibly originating the Hydrobatinae subfamily" this is saying Wilson's storm petrel is the last common ancestor between Oceanitinae and Hydrobatinae (which I very much doubt), and that's not how you use the word originating" and the saltpeter comments need reviewing by an expert because the source says saltpeter but the article links niter, and I'm not sure if that's what the source meant)". FunkMonk (talk) 16:27, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • The first issue I can't find in the text anymore. The second issue I don't really see: Saltpeter and potassium nitrate are not precisely the same. If "saltpeter" makes problems, we can also replace it with the more general "salt crust". --Jens Lallensack (talk) 17:08, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
