Hi Cas, I seem to be making a lot of comments on bird articles recently, so this review will keep the avian momentum going. Shall I give it the pre-FAC nitpicker's special, or just stick to the GA criteria? :)
I took the liberty of making several changes: increasing the linking to (what I thought were) relevant & helpful terms; minor changes to grammar and prose; formatting the article according to MOS style (i.e. use of ndashes where appropriate, some non-breaking spaces, etc.). In terms of content, the article has everything I would expect to see (I compared with other bird FA's and GA's to make sure). I placed a fact-tag on one sentence I thought could use a citation ("Subsequent studies have revealed this group to be closely related to the woodswallows.". Sasata ( talk) 08:29, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
The article meets all GA criteria, so I will promote it.... good luck at FAC! Sasata ( talk) 07:07, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
P.S. Just noticed this recent paper which could be mentioned in the article if it's headed to FAC: Baker MC. (2009). "Information Content in Chorus Songs of the Group-Living Australian Magpie (Cracticus tibicen dorsalis) in Western Australia". Ethology 115(3): 227–238.
