Talk:Garden warbler

message: 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 :Garden Warbler'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.
Reference named "Baker":
From Common Chiffchaff: 
From Eurasian Blackcap: Baker (1997) pp. 337–338.
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⚡ 09:22, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

message: List of Flickr images of Sylvia borin. Little seems to be distinct from what Commons currently has, but there are two pictures of flight (landing and taking off). They aren't that great, however. Chris857 (talk) 15:46, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

message: The article states that just under 3% of nests of the Garden Warbler are parasitized by the Common Cuckoo. I wanted to check how solid this figure was. I haven't access to the cited source (Shirihai et al (2001) pp. 84–88) from my armchair, so I googled to find a primary source. I found an old publication: 
David Glue & Robert Morgan (1972): Cuckoo Hosts in British Habitats, Bird Study, 19:4, 187-192
here.
In this publication Table 1 lists records collected between 1939-1971 by the British Trust for Ornithology's Nest Records Scheme. The figures in the table do not support the 3% value in the Wikipedia article. Of 637 Garden Warbler nests only 2 had Cuckoo eggs - or only 0.3% of the nests. The level of parasitism of Reed Warblers is 3%, that of the Rock Pippet is 3.6%.
On the other hand 49% of all the parasitized nests were those of the Dunnock, 14% were Reed Warbler and 14% Meadow Pipit. I'm not an ornithologists and there may be a good reason why the numbers are so different - a factor of 10. Aa77zz (talk) 17:27, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The revised text is now fine for the UK. The range of the Garden Warbler is large and the situation is likely to be slightly different elsewhere, but the data are probably not available - most countries will not have the equivalent of the British Trust for Ornithology's Nest Records Scheme. Moksnes et al (J. Orn. 134, 1993: S. 425-434) report parasitism of the nests of the Reed Warbler at 18% in one area of the Czech Republic - much higher than the value for the species in the UK. They don't give an equivalent figure for the Garden Warbler. (It appears that the Glue & Morgan article is not behind a pay wall - although the first page of the downloaded pdf records one's IP address or one's institution).

replies: text: The Cuckoo is a declining species here, and I would expect higher levels of parasitism in areas with warmer summers. The numbers of available hosts will also affect outcomes, since Reed Warblers in particular have very specific habitat requirements. I'm sure you are right about lack of an equivalent to the BTO, ornithology tends to be more academic in Europe without the amateur contributions to nest recording, ringing and atlas work that are traditional here Jimfbleak -  talk to me? 10:16, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Brood parasitism by the Common Cuckoo 

message: When I wrote the article, the Shirihai pages on Garden Warbler were visible on Google books, not now unfortunately. I have to say that I was surprised how high the warbler figured as a host, if I had had to guess, I would have picked Dunnock/Reed Warbler/Meadow Pipit, as in fact is the case. The figure is clearly suspect, so
I've made these edits which remove the percentage and the reference to "second only", and, in fact, address another of your issues by taking out one mention of the Cuckoo all together. Thanks for pursuing this, my journal access is limited to JSTOR, so your research is invaluable. Maybe I should do the Cuckoo next (: Jimfbleak -  talk to me? 06:00, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

message: I've made a small edit to the article as Pieter Boddaert did not "describe" the garden warbler, he just coined the scientific name. The details:
Edme-Louis Daubenton organised for the production of a series of hand-coloured plates to accompany Buffon's Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux. The 1008 plates were engraved by François-Nicolas Martinet and published (in batches of 12) in an apparently random order. In 1783 Boddaert produced a catalogue listing the plates and including citations to Buffon's descriptions. He also cited Brisson's Ornithologie (1760) and Linnaeus's Systema Naturae (1758).  Boddaert coined new binomial names (mihi) for those species not named by Linnaeus. In the IOC world list Boddaert is the authority for around 190 taxa. Thanks to the BHL we can read the original publications:
