message: This article is constantly gathering information that does not cite reliable references. There are citations of casual communications with people over various forums which would be better placed on blogs. Shyamal 05:48, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I would have no trouble if you cited at least a field guide. Birds can show numerous plumage variations. Why do you think this is a named subspecies. If it named who is the trinomial author ? Where is this published ? Shyamal 16:14, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  A reply to an old discussion, but this relates to the above, too. First, this was already discussed more than a year ago (see e.g. my talk page), though in fairness much of the un-ref'ed info was added recently by another user. Regardless, seeing that many of the controversial claims still completely lack references, I am removing some of them per WP:BURDEN (likewise in a number of cases where "Baker" and "Beebe" were claimed as a ref., but no such ref. can be found in the ref. list, and the person who added them didn't even provide a year, i.e. while the latter probably is William Beebe, we have no way of knowing which of his numerous publications that ref. is supposed to refer to!). Likewise, I have removed info that belongs in the genus article rather than here (e.g. info on the earliest fossil species in the genus, and info specifically about the Indian P.). I've added a bunch of additional "reference needed" tags, and unless ref's have been provided for them, I'll remove those I consider questionable in a few months (which should be plenty of time to find a reliable ref - if one exists). Finally, I re-wrote a section under description, which was a direct copy from the indicated source (i.e. copyvio) • Rabo³ • 18:04, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Who are World Pheasant Association to create taxonomies? This needs a citation from a book or journal. innotata (Talk | Contribs) 18:14, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

message: It is fairly well known that birds will float on water when forced, but making this into a statement that they "love to" wade in water, swim etcetera is something that requires ornithology journal or HBW quality citations. Shyamal (talk) 05:28, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Threatened Birds of Asia, Collar et al. includes a stray quote from a verbal communication - this does not constitute a reliable reference. Shyamal (talk) 07:51, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
