Talk:Turtle Dove

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There may be an ambiguity problem here - I'm seeing several different scientific names for birds called "turtle doves". --mav

there are several turtle dove species, but only the European S. turtur is normally referred to unqualified. Other scientific names refer to different species where there is always a qualifie, eg Oriental turtle dovejimfbleak

Can we merge turtle-dove here? --Kaihsu 13:47 Apr 18, 2003 (UTC)

Better not to, in my view, Kaihsu. The two entries have very different puropses. They should certainly link to one another though. Tannin

We could use a horizontal line to separate the two, with the Biblical one on the bottom.... --Kaihsu 14:01 Apr 18, 2003 (UTC)

Well, put like that I can't really say I object, though I still don't see much purpose in it. Let's let it sit for a day or two, see if anyone else has a view. If there are no objections, then it's up to you. Tannin

I was going to suggest deleting turtle-dove. I certainly wouldn't want to put them on the same page, since as Tannin said they serve completely different puposes, and have a time difference of 92 years. jimfbleak 14:12 Apr 18, 2003 (UTC)
