Talk:Old World warbler

message: Acanthizidae has been replaced by Pardalotidae now - essenialy the same family but with the pardalotes added. The pardalotes may eventually be split off again, in which case the remainer will become Acanthizidae once again. But we should mention these old families, because a lot of people are familiar with them, and they will be in textbooks for quite a few years to come. No need to change the text of this entry, this is set out in the entry it links to, just a FYI. Tannin 16:50 May 11, 2003 (UTC)

Quick note on bird names and English grammar - I've edited out a whole lot of gramatically incorrect hyphens. These were largely put in names by one or two "ivory tower" museum workers, resulting in invented group names like "Bush-Warbler": neglecting the fact that English grammar does not normally allow a hyphen before a capital letter. Many subsequent texts have also edited out these hyphens; here, I have followed MacKinnon & Phillipps A Field Guide to the Birds of China for style, thus: "Bush Warbler", though some others use the equally respectable "Bush-warbler". In the case of Leptopoecile, the name has perhaps more often been given in the form "Tit-warbler" and I've done this here too, rather than MacKinnon & Phillipps' "Tit Warbler" - in this case, because it is two bird names combined, rather than a habitat or colour etc., with a bird name.

message: For the Kigo article, I want to find the appropriate wikilink for uguisu (鶯, Japanese Bush-Warbler [sometimes translated as Japanese nightingale ], Cettia diphone). From other internet sources, the species seems to be in the Family Sylviidae (see ), so I assume this is the correct wikilink. Please correct me if I am wrong. BlankVerse ∅ 13:54, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Japanese Bush-Warbler 

message: In twenty years of active birding and reading on five continents, I have never heard "wren warbler" applied to this group. If, pace britanica it has any validity at all in can only be in the very old usage of eg willow wren as the (very) old name for Willow Warbler. jimfbleak 18:34, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Wren warblers

message: So more recent DNA analyses indicate that Sylviidae is a totally paraphyletic clusterbomb (to be polite) of morphological snafus -- and probably actually seven to eight different families, with the real irony being that Sylvia is closer to timaliid babblers than to the rest of the "warblers"!   So, how long should we give until discarding the current WP guideline of HBW and going with the results of Jonsson & Fjeldså 2006 / Alstrom et al. (2006), et cetera?  What a curse it is to live in such taxonomically "interesting times"! -- Miwa * talk * contribs ^_^ 04:39, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Everything We Know Is Wrong

message: I propose splitting this page into two articles. One, Old World warbler, will contain most all the information on this page and will treat the Old World warbler as a folk taxonomy with clear links to all the groups the birds have been split into. The second, [Sylviidae]], will be the family page for the much reduced family. At present having both articles together does the family article a diservice. Thoughts?
