message: *"Its specific names were derived from the Latin strepera, meaning "noisy", and graculina for resembling a Jackdaw." The specific name refers to only the latter part of the binomial, strepera is the generic name (Strepera was initially a specific name and later became a generic name, but I solved the issue by calling them both binomial names and linking to Binomial nomenclature.)

message: *Is bolding ssp MoS - I've never done it, but that doesn't necessarily make it wrong (:
*Ssp list - shortened genus but not species in binomial looks odd to me. I'd be inclined to start with Strepera graculina graculina and have the rest styled as S. g. ashbyi
*Do we need refs for the status of ashbyi and crissalis?

message: As promised, here are more recent (post 2000) sources that appear (judging from the title and/or abstracts) like they would have some useful or interesting info that could be added to the article. Let me know if you want me to list the older ones as well, or if you need help finding the articles (although I probably won't have access to much of the Aussie-specific journals).

replies: text: Update - have added what I can, what is left is some which appear to be letters/correspondences only (i.e. with no abstract). Casliber (talk · contribs) 12:35, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

message: While it is true that the name currawong is of Aboriginal origin, I would say that the name was given based on the sound of its most common call.
Edit: just read that in the taxonomy section. Perhaps it could be moved to the top.

replies: text: Well, yes it is obviously onomatopoeic, but this is via an indigenous language. it is pretty far up the article as is, I'd have thought....how far up do you want it? Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 10:24, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Origin of currawong 

message: Avibase gives the taxonomic authority as "(Shaw, G 1790)", but links to White's J. Voy. N.S.W. and lists the protonym as "Corvus Graculinus". (I was reading White for other reasons, happened upon his white-vented crow, and tracked back via Wikipedia to Avibase.) Is there any scholarship which indicates that Shaw wrote the Appendix for White's book? Gould (1865) attributes White, not Shaw. And where does "Coracias streptera" come from? Our article says Shaw, but Gould ascribes the name to Latham. (See Gould's sp. 88, p. 168) ⁓ Pelagic ( messages ) 19:35, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

text: Crittenden (1981, p. 133)  quotes two contemporaneous reviews of White's Journal, that ascribe the natural history to Hunter, or to Hunter, Shaw, and Smith. ⁓ Pelagic ( messages ) 20:18, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

text: "In Mr. White's Voyage, above referred to, I have considered this bird as a species of Corvus; but am at present inclined to think it more properly a species of Gracula." – Shaw 1809.  I think that settles it. ⁓ Pelagic ( messages ) 10:32, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
