I've listed this article for peer review because I would like to know if could become a Good Article, and seewhat improvement it would need for this. There is very little info about this bird available, since it is very badly known. I expanded the description and created a taxonomy section, added an intro and the only known contemporary descriptions of the bird. The extinction and behaviour sections are left much as they were (apart from citations I added), since they're basically just summaries of the old accounts.

"The Rodrigues Rail or Leguat's Gelinote (Erythromachus leguati) is an extinct flightlessrail." What is a rail? Please define. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 21:13, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
What is mottling or vermiculations? ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 21:19, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Is a wikilink not enough? I'll rephrase the colour sentence. Do you think there is enough info here for a GA? Not much more in the sources, it is a very obscure bird. FunkMonk (talk) 22:57, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It would be good for the casual reader to understand what they are without looking at other articles. Yes there is plenty enough for a GA, just not an FA. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 01:48, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
