Talk:Red-eared firetail

message: "Gould's Handbook (1865) defers to Zonæginthus oculeus, giving a citation to the 1853 circumscription of Cabanis."
I am not an ornithologist so this might make sense as written. It does not make sense to me. Reading the entry, what I get is that ...
Gould's Handbook of the Birds of Australia names the bird Zonæginthus oculeus with a citation to Cabanis' 1853 description under the same name.
^^^^^My interpretation is probably wrong. In any case let's work on this sentence.
Note: I expanded the title of this book in the text. I can't believe I didn't catch this before.
:This ought to be clear to anyone reading, and it currently is not, but your reading is correct … I think, I'd better double check that is what is happened and reconsider if it is important. cygnis insignis 18:28, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Before I go ahead and do it, I want to make sure it is okay with you. Handbook shouldn't be italicized unless it is the whole name of the book. I was looking at the PDF from Ian Abbott and he just refers to the handbook in lower case. I think this would follow the Wikipidea manual of style, but before I make the change, I want to make sure this is okay. If not, would you rather I expand it to Handbook of the Birds of Australia everywhere it is mentioned? Serventy and Whittell's (1948) handbook is also written as being titled Handbook. Looking at Birds of Western Australia it seems that the original title was much longer. I think the first reference should be to the full title and then use handbook after that. The citation in the article is for the longer, older book.  PopularOutcasttalk2me! 17:23, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  I don't know otherwise, not having read our MOS for years, so happy to follow what you think is best. The Serventy handbook I have at my side is the second edition, and I'll note that while this is a vintage text is still cited as one of the few reliable sources for WA avifauna; two gifted and careful ornithologists who produced a work that others strived to match. If it helps to navigate to the web of Australian ornithological literature, the major publications are Gould, then Mathews, then HANZAB. The first two were very sketchy on W.A. birds, what Hubert Whittell called "the barren years". As you might have guessed, there is an article idea brewing in the back of my mind, the short and interesting history of 'what we know about Australian birds'. Did you know, for example, the birdsong you hear in your backyard probably originated in mine? cygnis insignis 18:28, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: , I did not know that! That would be interesting. I will changed it to handbook and make sure that it is referenced as Gould's or whomever.  PopularOutcasttalk2me! 19:19, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Hannay (TV series)

message: The article claims the series was "shot on videotape rather than the more expensive (yet typical) practice of shooting TV drama location exteriors on 16mm film". It's always been my understanding that in those days shooting on videotape was more expensive due to the large amount of supporting equipment needed and the larger crew demanded by unions for VT shooting, as opposed to the ease and convenience of shooting with portable 16mm cameras. Certainly many series continued to be made either in whole or in part on 16mm, right up until the advent of HD and 4k cameras and more relaxed union regs. Lee M (talk) 23:44, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

In fiction, Superman's arch-enemy, Lex Luthor, is the "Mr. Big" of Superman comic books.  Apart from discribing status the term Mr. Big may refer to males with exceptional genital size.
