American robin
- Nominator(s): LegalSmeagolian ( talk) 18:57, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
This article is about the American Robin, a medium-sized passerine bird of the true thrush native to the Americas. This article has been a GA for a very very long time and meets the FA criteria. LegalSmeagolian ( talk) 18:57, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
Question from Tim O'Doherty
@ LegalSmeagolian - have you ever edited this article? Tim O'Doherty ( talk) 20:44, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- No, I have watched it grow and develop over the years though as robins are my favorite bird - I think it has reached the level where it could be a FA.

I do not think that the article is as comprehensive as required by the FA criteria. For example, the "Behavior" section misses many aspects, including antagonistic behavior, territoriality, sexual behavior, roosting etc. I strongly suggest to list the article at WP:Peer Review before bringing it to FAC. Feel free to ping me for more detailed comments or sources. -- Jens Lallensack ( talk) 22:48, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
