As was discussed at the bird project [1], but not brought up here for some reason, some subspecies have been split off into an eastern barn owl species. It would seem this article needs some reworking, so pinging the FA nominator Cwmhiraeth, and Shyamal who brought it up. FunkMonk ( talk) 09:16, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
Reviewing this version: This article could use some attention:
These are only samples: I suggest this article could benefit from a GOCE visit and some tuning up of as of dates, sourcing, layout and citations. If these issues cannot be addressed, the article can be submitted to WP:FAR. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 01:23, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
SandyGeorgia, I think the major issues have been addressed. LittleJerry ( talk) 19:06, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
LittleJerry, apologies for the delay as I took an extended wikibreak and am just now catching up.
I looked in here, intending to revisit my WP:URFA/2020 review, but I see that this Featured article is the subject of Wiki Ed (student) editing. @ Ian (Wiki Ed) and Anonymouswisebird:, students are usually discouraged from editing featured articles. This addition is not at FA standard; whether anything there may need to be worked in to the article for it to maintain 1b comprehensive should be looked at, but would require higher quality sourcing and a rewrite. I see blog sourcing, and lots of prose and MOS corrections needed.
I can't keep every URFA/2020 article review watchlisted, so please ping me when I should revisit (after the university term ends). SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 18:03, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
@ LittleJerry and Jonesey95: my apologies again for taking so long to return to this.
Perhaps I'm missing it? If not, can it be added to the body, cited, and then the jargon trimmed in the lead?Phylogenetic evidence shows that there are at least three major lineages of barn owl: one in Europe, western Asia, and Africa; one in southeastern Asia and Australasia; and one in the Americas; as well as some highly divergent taxa on various islands. Accordingly, some authorities divide barn owls into the western barn owl, for the group in Europe, western Asia, and Africa; the eastern barn owl for the group in southeastern Asia and Australasia; and the American barn owl for the group in the Americas. Some taxonomic authorities classify barn owls differently, recognising up to five separate species; and further research needs to be done to resolve the disparate taxonomies.
Please ping me when I should revisit. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 00:24, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
SandyGeorgia I believe that segment in the lede is supported here in the body.
Molecular analysis of mitochondrial DNA shows a separation of the species into two clades, an Old World alba and a New World furcata, but this study did not include T. a. delicatula, which the authors seem to have accepted as a separate species. Extensive genetic variation was found between the Indonesian T. a. stertens and other members of the alba clade, leading to the separation of stertens into Tyto javanica.
