Talk:Common merganser

message: Nesting habits:-
I know that Wikipedia is not about 'original research' but in early May 2011 in Highland Scotland [Kirkmichael village, Perthshire], we heard a peculiar noise inside our woodburning stove. It was an exhausted goosander - which had come down our 20cm chimney, we assume, to nest. [How else could it have possibly got there?]. Extraordinary. We took it down to the river, three-quarters dead we thought but, putting it beside the water, it suddenly recovered and flew away.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.0.196.218 (talk) 20:15, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Common murre

message: Where does the name Common Murre come from? I've only heard Common Guillemot. Is Murre maybe the American name for the bird? From what I know the Common Guillemot is closely related to the Black Guillemot, and that is not listed as "black murre" on Wikipedia. Drattli (talk) 21:03, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The Black Guillemot is in a different genus. Murre versus guillemot represents two different names used on different sides of the Atlantic. In global lists and works (like Wikipedia) sometimes the British name wins and sometimes the American one does; in this case the North American one did. Murre was used, I believe, in the past in Britain too. Sabine's Sunbird  talk 22:39, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Common poorwill

message: This article was previously written without any discrete sections and very erratic paragraph breaks. I restructured it so that it is easier to read. I also made an effort to cite all the previously uncited or improperly cited facts. However, there are several assertions made in the article I was unable to find citations for (eg, the bird hisses like a snake, the bird ejects pellets like an owl, the hibernation behavior of these animals were documented by Lewis and Clark, and a few others.)
All these assertions were presumably backed up by the prior citation list, but whoever wrote the original draft of this article did not insert inline citations, so I'm not sure where to go to verify the information. If anyone has the books that are cited, or knows of other locations to obtain the asserted information, please insert the appropriate citations. 
I also added a picture of the actual animal, as the prior image used in the taxobox was a watercolor painting containing two birds, one of which was not a common poorwill. I think the painting could add value to the article, but should not be used in the taxobox because it is unclear which bird is the common poorwill. If someone wants to add that painting back into the article body, that might be the appropriate course of action. I'm not great with formatting wiki-articles and gave up after getting frustrated. 
I think this article is in much better shape now, but if anyone has any thoughts or concerns let me know. Connorlong90 (talk) 03:58, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Alone Again (Naturally)

message: To describe Alone Again (Naturally) as 'soft rock' seems daft, it had much more in common with the singer-songwriter vogue of that time. Despite not describing the sound that term fits better as the song's genre.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.180.95.253 (talk) 16:49, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Genre

message: The song, "Alone Again (Naturally)" is attributed to Gilbert O'Sullivan, and was released in 1972.  What is interesting is that in 1980, my grandmother played an old 78 recording of this song for me.  I'm not sure how far back this recording dated, but it had to be the 1930's or 1940's.  I don't know if anyone in my family saved my grandmother's 78 records, but I will check.

replies: text: Many encyclopedia entries are also terms that are defined in dictionaries. Not all dictionary terms need corresponding encyclopedia articles. An article on the term 'light-year' makes sense as a place to describe the concept of expressing distance in terms of how far light travels in a given time interval. Substituting 'year' with other units of time measurement and making a stub on each one is unnecessary clutter.

Luxembourg came a distant second with nearly $80,000 and Singapore third with per capita income of about $61,000.The research put Qatar's GDP at $182bn in 2012 and said it had climbed to an all-time high due to soaring gas exports and high oil prices.
