Looking good (interests me more than house martin..)
Only other issue is to combine 1-2 sentence paragraphs, of which there are a few, as it looks odd to read. Good work and easy fixes. Can't think of anything else unless there are some cultural depictions. Ever been on any stamps etc.? cheers, Casliber ( talk · contribs) 22:59, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Well done - for FAC hmmmmm - maybe some more on etymology and what it is called in other languages (le chiffchaff?), and taxonomy, a little on where phylloscopus is in the scheme of things. Can't think of much else - did we mention brood parasites here...?cheers, Casliber ( talk · contribs) 11:39, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Tweaked a bit. Any other stuff about why exsul became extinct. Also, where do phylloscopidae relate to Sylviidae. One line should do on the latter. Still thinking. cheers, Casliber ( talk · contribs) 19:00, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
Nice choice of topic for a main page article. Congrats to all who worked on it. Cute little birdie. David WC2 ( talk) 20:27, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
"...is a common and widespread leaf warbler, named for the onomatopoeia of its distinctive song, which breeds in open woodlands throughout northern and temperate Europe and Asia." Does "the onomatopoeia of its distinctive song" breed in open woodlands? I think the last part of the sentence should be split to become "...of its distinctive song. It breeds in open woodlands..."

I feel the apposition would make sense if their were fewer parts to the sentence, but confuses the reader as it is in such a complex and multifaceted sentence. For example, "The Common Chiffchaff, named for the onomatopoeia of its distinctive song, breeds in open woodlands..."
The sentence as it stands seems to me to consist of two parts: (1) The Common Chiffchaff... is a common and widespread leaf warbler" and (2) Named for the onomatopoeia of its distinctive song, which breeds..." Maybe if the "which" is changed to "and" it will sound better
(original sentence - "The Common Chiffchaff or simply Chiffchaff, Phylloscopus collybita, is a common and widespread leaf warbler, named for the onomatopoeia of its distinctive song, which breeds in open woodlands throughout northern and temperate Europe and Asia.")
Can't believe I'm making this much fuss about this, but oh well. :P Geqo ( talk) 04:47, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
