Orphaned references in Thirioux's Grey Parrot
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Thirioux's Grey Parrot's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 11:49, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

You obviously know the ropes, so just nitpicking on the assumption you'll go to FAC eventually. I made these edits, please check, but note that another editor made several edits before mine.
- ...along with other Mascarene parrots — perhaps ...other parrots from the islands to avoid a third occurrence of Mascarene
- Subfossil bones, thought to be of the Mascarene Grey Parakeet, found on Mauritius, — perhaps Subfossil bones, found on Mauritius and thought to be of the Mascarene Grey Parakeet, ,
- central one being longest. — are there one or two central feathers. Usually tail feathers are paired
- congeners in other osteological — couple of links maybe?
- belonging to the genus Coracopsis by a few authors. — e.g.?
- the "squeeze and whack" tale is told so often in the text and the quotes that I felt I was being beaten round the head too.
I'll have another read through tomorrow Jimfbleak - talk to me? 14:21, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks, I'll fix these issues soon. As for FA, I think it might be a bit on the scrawny side, or what do you think? FunkMonk (talk) 14:37, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

- Well, there's no minimum size for FAC, and in fact my current co-nominated bird FAC starts by saying how little we know about the obscure Polynesian Nauru Reed Warbler. In the end it's your call. Anyway, let's do the deed Jimfbleak - talk to me? 05:24, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
