Talk:Antbird

message: I think perhaps the sepcies list could get split out into its own article as per Procellariidae and List of Procellariidae. Sabine's Sunbird  talk 04:26, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, particularly since they are both now so long. Good job with this page. Rufous-crowned Sparrow (talk) 22:03, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I split it out. Makes this page more readable. Sabine's Sunbird  talk 23:03, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I've fixed most of the stuff you mentioned (I have always thought that linking to PDFs was a matter of personal taste, but who can keep up with the mandated changes of the MOS?). As for ndahses, well, I don't actually know what they are, and don't really care either. People seem to get very het-up about them when reviewing, so I guess I'll have to learn about them. How tedious. Sabine's Sunbird  talk 01:30, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The real point was not necessarily that you should link to the pdf, but that refs within refs is always going to be wrong. I've fixed the dashes. I know you don't like citation templates, but I think that it's worth using cite journal at least, because then you can run DOI bot which converts the hyphens to ndashes, adds a doi if there is one, and other maintenance stuff. jimfbleak (talk) 05:46, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Comments

message: There was a clarify me tag in the systematics section next to the line Several of these, which have always been difficult to assign, seem to form a third ... clade, asking -what are the first and second clades within Thamnophilidae?. The answer is just two lines up (Two major clades - most antshrikes and other larger, strong-billed species as well as Herpsilochmus versus the classical antwrens and other more slender, longer-billed species), so I removed the tag.

thread_title:  Clarify 

message: The map is inaccurate.  Barred Antshrike occurs as far north as central Tamaulipas, only a couple hundred miles South of Texas.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Natureguy1980 (talk • contribs) 13:42, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll take another look at the map I used to base it on.  Sabine's Sunbird  talk 22:09, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've corrected the map per a closer examination of an alternative map (that of the species in question). Sabine's Sunbird  talk 01:07, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Map 

message: :Some species may perch-glean, perching on a branch watching for prey and snatching it by reaching forward, where others may sally from a perch and snatch prey on the wing.
Does that really mean "may", or can we omit the word (if they perch-glean or sally habitually)?

replies: text: Either can be used. I don't see why one has to be consistent but I'm not bothered, so fixed. Sabine's Sunbird  talk 22:00, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

text: This one will take a bit of expansion, I'll try and deal with it tonight. Sabine's Sunbird  talk 22:00, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Done, finally. Sabine's Sunbird  talk 21:39, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

text: Why is voice under morphology? Also the section on morphology covers more than just that. Shyamal (talk) 02:22, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've been thinking about that - it is because the section is sometimes known as description and calls are descriptive. But the focus of what I wrote is more behavioural, so maybe I'll move it. Would you suggest renaming morphology, what, description? Sabine's Sunbird  talk 02:50, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought about it too and although it seems ok to us bird folks- "description" sounds rather vague, as if the whole article wasnt one. "Appearance", "Identification", "Characteristics".... not sure. Shyamal (talk) 05:59, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  more questions 

message: S's S, maybe you should make the references consistent as to whether initials are followed by full stops.
On a more important note, I have a sentence for you if you want to add it:
: In some genera, such as Myrmotherula, species are better distinguished by female plumage than by male.Rice, N. H. & A. M. Hutson (2003) "Antbirds".  Pp. 446–449 in Perrins, C. (editor). (2003). Firefly Encyclopedia of Birds. Firefly Books. ISBN 1-55297-777-3
But I don't have a source saying this is uncommon in birds. —JerryFriedman  (Talk) 05:18, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  periods, sexual dimorphism 

message: This article is missing about a dozen available DOIs for the journal cites. There are also some PMID and JSTOR index links available, as shown here. Since the article does not use citation templates I can't automatically add in these extra links. If it's not okay to add citation templates to the article then would a regular contributor to the article please add in these index links manually. Thanks Rjwilmsi 11:39, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Missing DOIs/PMIDs 

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to  on Antbird. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add  after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add  to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
