Nice work on this article, Rufous-crowned Sparrow. One thing that seems to be missing is discussion of the slight "controversy" over the crest arrangement. Hume 2012 states the arrangement is unknown, but Fuller 2001 elaborates (citing Parker 1967), and states the crest of the museum skins may have been distorted during taxidermy, resulting in the crest seen in the Keulemans image. Another (more Goura-like) interpretation is seen in the taxobox image, which is a recent derivative of the Keulemans painting. Also, there are some free PDFs of old papers near the bottom of this page that might be useful: http://extinct-website.com/extinct-website/product_info.php?cPath=22_48&products_id=465 FunkMonk ( talk) 01:49, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

GA review (see here for criteria)
Is the correct spelling "Solomons crested pigeon" or "Solomons' crested pigeon", with the plural possessive being formed by the single apostrophe? If the island group was expressed singly, would that make any difference? For example, if the pigeon had been found on one of the Shepherd Islands to the south (known locally as "the Shepherds"), would the name be "Shepherd crested pigeon" or "Shepherds crested pigeon" or "Shepherd's crested pigeon"? Are you sure that all or most of the spellings are in the form "Solomons"; that is, the vernacular of Solomon Islands? -- RoyGoldsmith ( talk) 05:20, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

In 2014, a group performed another biological expedition, Choiseul Biological Expedition, in Solomon Islands and they did not find Choiseul pigeons there. This information could be add to this article. Source here (page 9). "There was no sighting of the Choiseul ground pigeon, which is most probably extinct."
