Hello, apparently Necropsittacus rodericanus is not the original spelling for this species, and it should be Necropsittacus rodricanus (without an e). See also this on
this page: "Cheke, A & Hume, J. 2008, Fuller, 2002. Original spelling of species is rodricanus (not rodericanus). See Milne-Edwards original description (pp 151-155)."

Hi. I'm translating this amazing article to portuguese ( pt:Necropsittacus rodricanus) and I don't understand this part: "I would not have missed any game from France if this one had been commoner in Rodrigues". What "game" means on this sentence? What's the connection between bird's abundace and that "game" in France? Thanks! Dr. Lenaldo Vigo ( talk) 23:15, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi FunkMonk and other interested editors. This is to let you know that as a part of preparing this article for TFA I will be lightly running an eye over it for MoS-compliance and grammar, and possibly tweaking a little of the language to ensure that it is at it's very best for its appearance on the main page. If you have any queries about any of the edits don't hesitate to let me know. Thanks. Gog the Mild ( talk) 14:27, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
I didn't want to mess around with the text, so have added "s" in three cases. If you don't like that you may want to rearrange to avoid the possessives, or just revert and IAR. Gog the Mild ( talk) 15:08, 26 December 2019 (UTC)For the possessive of singular nouns, including proper names and words ending with an s, add s (my daughter's achievement, my niece's wedding, Cortez's men, the boss's office, Glass's books, Illinois's largest employer, Descartes's philosophy, Verreaux's eagle). If a name already ends in s or z and would be difficult to pronounce if s were added to the end, consider rearranging the phrase to avoid the difficulty: Jesus's teachings or the teachings of Jesus.
