User talk:Rufous-crowned Sparrow/Archive 3
Hello there. (Happy New Year on your new 2009 page!!!) I added a bit more in regards to the GA criteria for the nomination. There are two maps added for the location bit, a section of the first nations for the local natives, and their nation. Added a bit more on broadness, ie the before and the after. SriMesh | talk 01:31, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
- Just a bit? Thank you for doing this. I'll see if I can take a look at it tomorrow. Rufous-crowned Sparrow (talk) 06:02, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
- Added some more, and re-arranged sections in chronological order. Query about the point Who are these Icelanders in the second section?...should I briefly mention the campaign to settle the Canadian west as initiated by the Dominion Lands Act, or is it where the Icelanders came from and that they were emmigrating from Iceland for various reasons, Volcano eruption, etc.? or would both the above be pertinent....? So Icelanders coming to Canada were both push and pull, Canada was pulling them with enticements, and Iceland was pushing them with Volcanoes, and etc.SriMesh | talk 04:09, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

DYK for Djibouti Francolin
[edit]

On 4 January, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Djibouti Francolin, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Djibouti Francolin
[edit]
Have had a go at it but not very satisfied. The two source illustrations I could find were contradictory about head coloration and not enough detail visible. Shyamal (talk) 15:32, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
- I am astounded by how different the photo link you provided was from the BirdLife sketch ! Here is a version based on that one. Shyamal (talk) 03:09, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
- Reddened the stripe. Shyamal (talk) 04:12, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
- Nice work. Interesting leap in visitations ! http://stats.grok.se/en/200901/Djibouti_Francolin Shyamal (talk) 12:34, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
- Cool. I didn't know that tool existed, or that 1500 people actually followed up on the DYKs. Thanks. Rufous-crowned Sparrow (talk) 21:12, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
- The link is actually shown on the page history and sometimes one sees mysterious spikes like this one http://stats.grok.se/en/200812/Ornithology ! Shyamal (talk) 06:11, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
