thread_title:  Redirect 

message: The following three sentences in the article as it currently exists don’t make sense to me: “Automobile repair workshops that are independently owned and operated businesses. These may also include regional or national chains and franchises including OEM car dealership sites. In the United States, these sites are commonly certified by their respective manufacturer to perform warranty and recall repairs by that manufacturer or distributor.”
How can independently-owned businesses INCLUDE regional and national chains? Isn’t “independently-owned” the exact opposite of a chain? These sentences need to be more clearly worded and I do not have enough knowledge of this field to do it. Furthermore, how can an OEM car dealership be considered “independent” if they are owned by a car brand?
One other comment: “towning services”. Was this supposed to be ‘towing services’? Perhaps someone who has knowledge of this industry can say whether this is a typo or an actual term. I'd guess it is a typo but I want to be sure first. If it is a typo, please correct it.

Talk:No. 487 Squadron RNZAF

message: This note refers not just to No. 487 Squadron but is not included in the articles for e.g. No. 485 and No. 486 Squadrons. Should it not either (a) be added to all relevant articles or (b) split off to form a separate article or note (not sure whether such an entity exists), which would be referenced by all such RNZAF Squadron articles? Thoughts, ideas anyone? --TraceyR (talk) 11:04, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  A note on New Zealand Squadrons in the RAF 

message: This was published as the penultimate chapter, five pages, in the anthology "Escape To A Firing Squad by Bob Masters and other stories" of true life first-person accounts edited by Victor Sims. Published by Sunday Pictorial Newspapers Ltd 1960. Won a £100 prize. The following summarises those pages (right or wrong - I'm just summarising what was published - may have been heavily edited for British public consumption). On May 3rd 1943 RAF 487 Squadron did Operation Ramrod to bomb a power station in Amsterdam. Four times previously the raid had been called off. The author Lawrence Neill was a gunner. The pilot was Flight-Lieutenant Arthur Duffil "a young Yorkshireman". The navigator and bomber was Flying Officer Johnnie Starkie, the wireless operator Sergeant Alan Turnbull. They flew in a Lockheed Vega Ventura, known as C-for-Charlie, taking off from Methwold Airfield, Norfolk England, three by three. Just off the Dutch coast they climbed to 12000 feet, beneath a fighter escort. They came across eighty german aircraft, some or all of which were FW190s. The gunner destroyed a German plane. He and the wireless operator were injured. The plane was on fire. A 500 pound bomb was stuck in the bomb bay and could not be released. The pilot returned home and landed despite both engines being hit and the flaps not working. Of the fifty-six places laid for the returning meal of eggs and bacon, only two men, the uninjured pilot and navigator, sat down to eat it. End of summary. If anyone wants to incorporate these dtails into an article, please do so. 78.149.162.164 (talk) 16:11, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Sedge warbler

message: in Taxbox photo is not a Sedge Warbler, but an Aquatic Warbler (see the light cap and compare with other photos in the article).--81.40.180.34 (talk) 19:25, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: The overall entry is pretty complete, with sections detailing the Sedge Warbler’s distribution and habitat, and most significantly, its behavior. Regarding the focus on mating, the article goes into a few paragraphs of detail about how male Sedge Warblers sing to attract female mates. The section also talks about the specific behavior of the male Sedge Warblers as they are singing, describing how they perform song-flights, rising to a height of several meters, circling, and making a slow descent. Overall, the tone of the article is neutral and professional, with significant references both listed at the bottom of the page as well as in footnotes at the end of sentences throughout the paragraph. Although the sexual selection and mating was covered in great detail, I would have liked to also learn about the development of the Sedge Warbler, or any social behavior besides during mating, including any interactions with other animals. I also think that the Catchpole experiment (1980; Catchpole et al., 1984), where they experimentally discovered that females were more responsive to longer repertoires, could have been included in the article as a short section because it was a significant finding in terms of the behavior of this species.

I might add in some relevant edits or a section on male-female bonding behaviours to go with your photos (or you can), but I need to find some sourses.  I do not think that they are preening in the picture, but I am sure it is part of male-female bonding too.  The current page will progress and improve over time.

message: All of the info that was deleted came from an Australian webpage describing Mirafra javanica, apparently also called the "Singing Bushlark" (in Australia). This is the apparent reason for the editor's confusion. Even the name of the page referenced was "Singing Bushlark (Mirafra javanica) Fact Sheet".
When I edited this page several hours back I didnt even notice the error until I came back to add some more info. The webpage that was used was full of excellent information on M. javanica, and other than the name mix-up would be an excellent resource.
Maybe the article's name should be changed since Australians, most of whom speak English and would therefore use en.wikipedia, could be confused.
