Hey guys just forget the spoken article bit ... I was acting on the spur of the moment out of angst or something. I should probably delete the huge ogg from there anyway, ought to have gone mp3 then you could make oggs all you like. But I was just in a mood I guess. The quality is pretty embarrassing too.

A well-referenced, well-written article. Jimfbleak is making the rest of us look bad, and I wish he would cut it out. :P Some suggestions:
Very nicely done article, more than good enough to pass GA as is, though I hope these comments will still be helpful. Don't hesitate to give me a holler if you need any clarification or further input. delldot talk 06:06, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
1. Well written?: Beautifully. There are some words that are likely unfamiliar to the lay reader and should be explained, I've discussed some of them above.
2. Factually accurate?: Passes WP:V, sources cited for every paragraph but one, which isn't controversial.
3. Broad in coverage?: Fine, one instance of detail I thought was excessive, but nothing dramatic.
4. Neutral point of view?: Fine.
5. Article stability?: Fine.
6. Images?: All check out fine.
Great job, obviously the work of a seasoned GA and FA writer. Here it is:
Congratulations!

I think the wording may be wrong.
"...but eggs and chicks are vulnerable to attack by woodpeckers and mammals, including squirrels."
to
"...but eggs and chicks are vulnerable to be attacked by woodpeckers and mammals, including squirrels."
If reading quickly or breifley, it will seem to mean that the eggs and chicks attack via woodpeckers and mammals. Androo123 ( talk) 03:22, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
I thought that English vernacular names were not per se capitalized. Of course WP article titles are capitalized and a word like Eurasian would be as well. DCDuring ( talk) 18:33, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
