[edit] List of North American birds

The people who have actually written the species accounts for this article (notably Big iron are happy with the title as defined, and the availability of dependable (ie printed) sources is important. Of course, if you are intending to write species accounts for those Mexican and central America species which are not on the ABA list, that might be a different matter.

[edit] Accipitriformes

In theory, bird taxonomy in Wikipedia follows HBW and HANZAB, simply to have a onsistent standard, with reference to alternatives where appropriate. Falconiformes is what HBW uses. However, the division of diurnal raptors into two orders is (or was) common in Europe. I have no problems with Falconiformes, but there have been a number of major revisions to raptor topics, and I think that Tannin and Big iron in particular may have an opinion on this. Jim

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

[edit] New category

Hi. I thought I would let you know that I've created a new category, Journals and magazines relating to birding and ornithology, as you've created articles which would fit that quite well. SP-KP 17:39, 14 April 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Saying hello

Hi John. Just wanted to say hello to a fellow naturalist. I've been playing around the bird articles attempting to work through the unfinished ABA species. Been here only 1 month. Interesting concept to become involved with. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanking you in advance...... pmeleski 9/21/2006
