The photograph seems to show a Thrush Nightingale Luscinia luscinia not a Nightingale Luscinia megarhynchos on the basis of the dull colouration, mottled breast and yellow gape.
Also, the second sentence under symbols make no sense!

Agreed. On range it should be Nightingale, although it could be a migrant/vagrant I suppose, but either way it doesn't look like a Nightingale and so isn't a good choice. An encyclopedia photos should show a typical bird. Puffinbillyunst 10:23, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm afraid I don't understand why so many references to "nightingale" were removed. If these are in fact trivial then there shouldn't be any, but there shouldn't be some and not others. What makes Eliot more important than Keats, for example? -- Wspencer11 (talk to me...) 21:04, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
It seems to me that Ode to a Nightingale and the Nightingale sang in Berkeley Square song are very well known, and the uncited Turkish bit isn't. However, if it's not possible to agree on the content of this section, why not hive it off as a separate nightingale in culture article (see Peregrine Falcon and Common Raven)?

The nightingale's song is probably it's most notable aspect. This article needs a sound file. MMetro ( talk) 17:04, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
I agree, how do we obtain a sound file? The nightingale's song is probably one of the top ten most popular sounds made by birds.
Can anyone tell me if the nightingale is found in Morocco? If so, during what season? Can it be kept as a cage-bird? No, I don't want to keep one in a cage - I'm writing a story, and the plot hinges on a caged nightingale in Morocco). PiCo ( talk) 09:10, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
The Dark Ages reference should be nuanced. Medieval versions of the Ovidian tale exist. Moreover, the nightingale (rossignol, etc) can be found throughout medieval literature (Marie de France, etc) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.48.231.155 ( talk) 03:25, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
I have a problem with the following, which is the only entry in the In popular culture section:
In series 8 of the British spy drama Spooks, the spooks try to stop an organization called Nightingale which is planning to make a war break out between India and Pakistan to prevent a future where the Taliban would take control of Pakistan and its nuclear arsenal.
I know nothing at all about Spooks (I haven't even read the WP article), but this sentence gives no indication at all how it is relevant to the bird, which is the subject of this article. How does giving the name "Nightingale" to a terrorist organization enhance anyone's understanding of the bird's cultural importance? It seems to me that the authors of Spooks could just as well have picked any word at random as the name of that organization, and the fact that they happened to choose "Nightingale" does not qualify them for mention in this article. Since that section was added anonymously, I cannot ask the editor to justify its presence, so I am going to remove it.-- Jim10701 ( talk) 22:36, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
