- Nominator(s): FunkMonk (talk) 16:31, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
I am nominating this for featured article because I have added practically all known info about, most PD images, and presented all controversies relating to the bird, and it has also been copyedited. FunkMonk (talk) 16:31, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
Source review - spotchecks not done
- FN5: publisher?
- FN9, 10: formatting
- Compare FNs 11 and 17. Nikkimaria (talk) 03:23, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
- I think all these issues should be fixed now. FunkMonk (talk) 10:59, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Review by SandyGeorgia
Oppose for now, expect to strike, multiple
- The Réunion Ibis (Threskiornis solitarius) is ... if the Threskiornis solitarius is an alternate name, it should be both bolded and italicized.
- This isn't done on other featured animal species articles, see for example California Condor, Lion, Bald Eagle, and Emperor Penguin. FunkMonk (talk) 22:35, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, I agree. AFAIK all the 100+ bird FAs and the thousands of bird species articles follow this practice Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:05, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
- This isn't done on other featured animal species articles, see for example California Condor, Lion, Bald Eagle, and Emperor Penguin. FunkMonk (talk) 22:35, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
- Images are facing off the page ... I believe the intent of the MOS guideline applies to both animals and people ... please juggle images so animals aren't looking off the page.
- Only one animal faces away (the image with multiple birds has at least two that face the text), but there isn't much to do about that single one, it doesn't fit anywhere else, in relation to the text. I am well aware of the guideline (which only refers to faces, by the way), which is why all other images comply to it.
FunkMonk (talk) 22:35, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
- And another guideline is not to rotate images just to get round this. And they are guidelines, not Mosaic laws Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:05, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
- In the mid 19th century, ... missing hyphen, pls review throughout.
- Fixed the single occurrence. FunkMonk (talk) 22:38, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
- An alternate name is mentioned in the second paragraph; is it not possible to get that mentioned sooner?
- Mentioned a bit sooner. FunkMonk (talk) 22:53, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
- The taxonomic history of the Réunion Ibis is very convoluted, ... is there a difference between "very convoluted" and "convoluted"? Please check for redundancy.
- Removed "very". FunkMonk (talk) 22:36, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
- It has been claimed that Bertrand-François Mahé de La Bourdonnais sent a "Solitaire" to France ... weasly ... by whom?
- It is attributed to Billiard, 1822, but I'm not sure who it is. Added the name. FunkMonk (talk) 22:49, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
Just random checks, I stopped there, the article is not in bad shape, but some additional prose review would be helpful. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 22:31, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
- Feel free to propose more changes if necessary. FunkMonk (talk) 22:40, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
