  • You link parrot in the lead but not lore. I definitely know what a parrot is, but I definitely don't know what a lore is.
linked Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:15, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I guess "It was described by Gould" is a "thing", i.e. you don't say which "Gould", I think for the majority of our readers there's no reason to omit his first name.

  • You link Western Australia in the lead but not South Australia, any logic?
both linked at top of lead Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:15, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • " volume of Birds of Australia," the book is piped to a redirect, and should be in italics.
tweaked Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:15, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've never seen "informant" used in this context, usually only for people splitting on others... is this a commonly used biology research term?
not common usage but see. Redundant anyway so removed Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:15, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • "colonisation it was common" I would replace "it" with "the species" here.
tweaked Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:15, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • " it its current scientific name." which is...?
added Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:15, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • "One of six species of..." mildly confused by the structure of this sentence which seems like a fragment, followed by a semi-colon...
tweaked Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:15, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • "evade an explosion of" that doesn't seem particularly enyclopedic in tone.
tweaked Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:15, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • "30-20 million" dash, not hyphen.
tweaked Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:15, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • You could link "nominate subspecies" as it's a highly technical term.
linked Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:15, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Link "tarsus".
linked Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:15, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Robe, South Australia in" comma before "in" per MOS:GEOCOMMA.
added Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:15, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • "over 160 km" convert to miles.
tweaked Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:15, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Jurien Bay" is linked twice but to different targets, potentially confusing.
delinked Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:15, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • What is "pigface"?!
a succulent they eat - linked on first instance. There's a picture of the little bugger eating it in th article Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:15, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • " in favourable years" what does that actually mean?
means years when there is more food. Generally after years of higher rainfall. However, not explicitly elaborated upon in this source Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:15, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • " moving a short distance behind a tussock or rock if observers move " repeat of move is a little jarring.
tweaked Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:15, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • " jugflower (Adenanthos cuneatus), .[18]" remove space and comma.
done Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:15, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • No "the" in the full name of IUCN.
fixed Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:15, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • " Albany, Western Australia in" comma before in, and why isn't this linked?
fixed x 2 Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:15, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Like most species of parrots" no need to link "parrot" at this late stage!
fixed Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:15, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • " A Greek-English " should be an en-dash, not a hyphen.
fixed Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:15, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's all I have, the article is already good enough to pass the basic GAN requirements, so these comments would just be the icing on the cake. I'll put the review on hold while we go through them. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 08:33, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Happy with the changes and the article easily passes. Good work. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 13:24, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
