I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Garden Warbler's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

List of Flickr images of Sylvia borin. Little seems to be distinct from what Commons currently has, but there are two pictures of flight ( landing and taking off). They aren't that great, however. Chris857 ( talk) 15:46, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
The article states that just under 3% of nests of the Garden Warbler are parasitized by the Common Cuckoo. I wanted to check how solid this figure was. I haven't access to the cited source (Shirihai et al (2001) pp. 84–88) from my armchair, so I googled to find a primary source. I found an old publication: David Glue & Robert Morgan (1972): Cuckoo Hosts in British Habitats, Bird Study, 19:4, 187-192 here.
In this publication Table 1 lists records collected between 1939-1971 by the British Trust for Ornithology's Nest Records Scheme. The figures in the table do not support the 3% value in the Wikipedia article. Of 637 Garden Warbler nests only 2 had Cuckoo eggs - or only 0.3% of the nests. The level of parasitism of Reed Warblers is 3%, that of the Rock Pippet is 3.6%.
On the other hand 49% of all the parasitized nests were those of the Dunnock, 14% were Reed Warbler and 14% Meadow Pipit. I'm not an ornithologists and there may be a good reason why the numbers are so different - a factor of 10. Aa77zz ( talk) 17:27, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
The paper is behind a pay wall so here is a quote (may have ocr errors):
"Although the number of Cuckoo hosts noted by nest recorders totals 26, three species make up more than three-quarters of the card total- Dunnock 49 per cent, Reed Warbler 14 per cent and Meadow Pipit 14 per cent (Table I). The proportion of nests found by field workers and parasitised by a Cuckoo was high in these three species-2.2 per cent, 3.0 per cent and 3.1 per cent respectively—compared with most other species parasitised. Excluding these three major hosts, plus Rock Pipit, Tree Pipit and Marsh Warbler, the proportion of nests cuckolded was less than 1 per cent for each species, emphasising the low rate of parasitism."

When I wrote the article, the Shirihai pages on Garden Warbler were visible on Google books, not now unfortunately. I have to say that I was surprised how high the warbler figured as a host, if I had had to guess, I would have picked Dunnock/Reed Warbler/Meadow Pipit, as in fact is the case. The figure is clearly suspect, so I've made these edits which remove the percentage and the reference to "second only", and, in fact, address another of your issues by taking out one mention of the Cuckoo all together. Thanks for pursuing this, my journal access is limited to JSTOR, so your research is invaluable. Maybe I should do the Cuckoo next (: Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:00, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

I've made a small edit to the article as Pieter Boddaert did not "describe" the garden warbler, he just coined the scientific name. The details:
Edme-Louis Daubenton organised for the production of a series of hand-coloured plates to accompany Buffon's Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux. The 1008 plates were engraved by François-Nicolas Martinet and published (in batches of 12) in an apparently random order. In 1783 Boddaert produced a catalogue listing the plates and including citations to Buffon's descriptions. He also cited Brisson's Ornithologie (1760) and Linnaeus's Systema Naturae (1758). Boddaert coined new binomial names (mihi) for those species not named by Linnaeus. In the IOC world list Boddaert is the authority for around 190 taxa. Thanks to the BHL we can read the original publications:
