Does the last sentence mean that the Robin is a member of Erithacus rubecula, or not? -- Zoe
Hi Zoe, do you mean the binomial classification? If so, that's just the scientific name of the bird, and in this case that's the genus (Erithacus) and species (rubecula). Take a look at the entry for WikiProject Tree of Life. -- Ramin
Does anyone know if the robin is well known to gardeners continental Europe?
Is that a commemorative stamp or a Christmas stamp?
Should there be seperate pages on wikipedia for thematics (themes on stamps) and a link from this site to the robin thematics page?
I have added the word 'unofficial' before 'national bird of Britain'. This is supported by the following information from the proceedings of the Scottish Parliament's Enterprise and Culture Committee, 31 October 2006 [1]:
"Despite some assertions to the contrary, it seems that the United Kingdom does not have an official national bird. The European Robin (erithacus rubecula) is frequently listed as Britain’s most popular bird, and is a favourite for use on items such as postage stamps, however it has never been submitted to an official process of recognition and has at no point received UK parliamentary support.
"Having said this, the European Robin has previously been promoted as the “national bird” by the British branch of the International Council for Bird Preservation (ICBP). In October 1960, responding to a resolution from the ICBP, its chairman wrote a letter to The Times asking for the views of readers on the subject of choosing of a bird for Britain. After reviewing readership response, the Robin was deemed to be overwhelmingly the most popular UK bird with all sections of the community. In accordance with the perceived public will, the British branch of the ICBP sought for the Robin to be adopted as the “Bird for Britain”, and the organisation itself began to use the Robin as its official logo. Despite initial public interest, the European Robin was never submitted for recognition as the UK’s official national bird, and no branches of government became involved in its promotion as a national symbol. After continuing to represent the British branch of the ICBP for some years, it seems that the Robin was ultimately dropped from use." Russ London 10:40, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Is Erithacus rubecula witherbyi named for Harry Witherby? If so, I'd like to mention that on his page. Andy Mabbett 18:36, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
"European Robins and similar small European species are often called chats." Are they? I've never ever heard a robin referred to as a chat; indeed, I've never heard them called anything other than 'robins'. Who calls them chats? Scientists? In what context? What's the source? This should be made clear. 86.153.216.204 13:48, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
Does anyone know the source for calling a robin a flycatcher? In Birds of the Western Palearctic (2004) it is classified with 'Thrushes, chats' and not with 'Old world flycatchers'. The Tutor ( talk) 22:28, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
I have now found that the source is Handbook of Birds of the World. Is this now accepted as the RSPB website ( http://www.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/birdguide/name/r/robin/index.asp) still gives them in the 'Thrushes, chats' group? The Tutor ( talk) 17:43, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
This article's Good Article promotion has been put on hold. During review, some issues were discovered that can be resolved without a major re-write. This is how the article, as of May 12, 2008, compares against the six good article criteria:
Please address these matters soon and then leave a note here showing how they have been resolved. After 48 hours the article should be reviewed again.

1) The article says: "As noted above, robins from the British Isles...". However robins from British Isles have not been mentioned above. (done. redundant anyway)
2) It is batter to unbold Tenerife Robin and redbreast. (done)
3) The units of length: sometimes cm are used and sometimes centimeters. It is also better to write million years istead of mya. (done and done)
4) If the citation is for the whole paragraph, it is better to place it at the end or the paragraph. Now some paragraphs has refs in the middle and it is not clear, if they are for the whole paragraph or not. (in general, a ref is placed at the end of the sentence or few sentences it qualifies, or at the end of the paragraph. I would have placed them at the end of paragraphs if possible. Parts afterwards are therefore lacking in cites. As this is GA, I thought it was only necessary to cite those things likely to be challenged, though it is always prudent if the final goal goal is FA to cite as much as possible. Please tag anything glaring which needs citing but I will try and add a few)
5) The article uses E. r. melophilus as an example. But why this subspecies? Are continental robins different from them ot the same? (the nominate subspecies is rubecula of continental europe, distinct (though very similar) from melophilus of the british isles. Given most of us editing this article are anglophone and have utilised English guidebooks, the article is biased toward the UK subspecies. I will try and see what I can find on the nominate subspecies.)

One editor seems determined to add the name "English robin" to the article. He/she has now given up trying to add it to the lead as an alternative name, but has added a sentence to the Taxonomy section. I strongly dispute the notion that the bird "is commonly called the English Robin in England". I don't have access to the source cited, but it seems very unlikely that this in any way reflects the current situation. Nobody in England (or Scotland, or Wales, or Ireland) would call it an "English robin", as there is no other robin regularly seen here. It's either a robin, or in formal contexts, a European robin. I can see the adjective "English" being applied from time to time in situations where a distinction with the American robin is necessary, but "English" does not form part of the name of the bird. I vote to delete the sentence. SNALWIBMA ( talk - contribs ) 12:34, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
I have tracked down that reference. Journeys Through Bookland was published about 100 years ago, and it includes a poem called "The English robin". See here for full text. It is quite clear that "English" is simply an adjective used for clarification, to distinguish E. rubecula from T. migratorius. It is not part of the name. I have accordingly deleted the sentence from the Taxonomy section. SNALWIBMA ( talk - contribs ) 16:48, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
(←) You say these sources could easily have used the term "European"... Sorry, no. Nobody in the English-speaking world in the late 19th century would say "European Robin": the adjective that would come to mind to distinguish the bird from the American species would be "English", because it was an iconic bird in Britain but pretty much ignored elsewhere in Europe. Otherwise I'm happy to concede that you have some more convincing evidence. I'm still not fully swayed (I still think, stubbornly, that the adjective is only loosely attached to the noun, by different authors for various reasons, not locked on as part of the name) - but you seem to have enough there to add something to the effect that the bird quite frequently appears in literature as the "English Robin". Just don't make it seem that this is still (or ever was) a valid or accepted name for the species in ornithological/scientific/natural-history contexts. SNALWIBMA ( talk - contribs ) 07:39, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Article reads: and have been observed attacking other small birds without apparent provocation. Such attacks sometimes lead to fatalities, accounting for up to 10% of adult bird deaths in some areas
Juxtaposing the concept of attacks on other species with a sentence using just the generic term 'bird' made me misinterpret this as "Robins are responsible for 10% of all adult bird deaths" (implying all species), on my first visit. I checked the cited source and the wording there is far less ambiguous about it being 10% of adult robins. I intend to edit this but will await page stability with regard to one of the above debates first.

I don't mean to fan flames, but Francis Hodgkin Burnett (a British writer) also used English robin a lot. (e.g. My Robin, and it also appears in The Secret Garden. It's probably a Victorianism now, but it doesn't seem to have been merely American. Shoemaker's Holiday ( talk) 17:55, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
Also, Frances Hodgson Burnett, although born in Britain, moved to the US when she was 16 and lived there for most of her life, becoming an American citizen too. So she may well have used 'English' to differentiate between the two types of robin with which she was no doubt familiar. In general, Americans don't know the European robin as it is not native, and vice versa for the American robin in Europe. So her stating which one it was is understandable, as she was familiar with both, and is in no way representative of the use of 'English robin' as a norm in Europe/UK when referring to the robin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.154.218.83 ( talk) 12:59, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

The map picture on the page, referring to the robin distribution I believe, should be corrected. According to it, the robin is not found across Portugal, when in fact is pretty common in the north of the country.
This source: http://www.avesdeportugal.info/erirub.html, confirms it as being abundant to the north, adding that it can be seen in the center of the country as well (this part including the already 'green painted' area).
Is there anyway to update the map picture to correct this? I don't mind doing it myself, but I'm not sure how the licensing works, and whether I'm allowed the tamper with the image in question.

I'll remove the references on "Robin" in Frisian, as I think the Oxford English Dictionary has it wrong. Evidence:
I've noticed this statement in the 'Behaviour' section for some years and am very surprised it has not been changed or redacted:
"Indeed, the robin is considered to be a gardener's friend and for various folklore reasons the robin would never be harmed. In continental Europe on the other hand, robins were hunted and killed as with most other small birds, and are more wary.[26]"
As any European-based birder will know from first-hand experience, robins behave in very much the same way in gardens here as they do in the UK and Ireland. Here in France, I've also seen references to the robin as the 'hunter's friend'. Such a bold and damning statement, made on the basis of one RSPB (i.e. British) book, seems to me to be the product of chauvinist sentiment alone. I will try to find some Wiki-suitable citation if necessary, but really, this sentence (the last of the two, above) should just be removed.
