Just a possible suggestion, considering the amount of further reading given, either some should be removed, or it should be sectioned into aspects of C. mexicanus's ecology etc. George-E 22:01, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Date of introduction into Hawaii
The date of introduction into Hawaii may not have been 1870. The source of the 1870 date appears to be Bishop Museum Occasional Papers, Volume 10(9). 1933. The exotic birds of Hawaii. Caum, E.L. I don't have a copy, but secondary sources seem indicate that the paper describes house finches as having been introduced before 1870, rather than during 1870. Smptq 20:24, 20 May 2008 (PDT)
- I tried to edit accordingly. Please check my work, if you please. Walter Siegmund (talk) 15:10, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
- The edits look good, though the best solution here would be to obtain a copy of the paper and confirm that it says what people seem to think it says.Smptq 20:55 21 May 2008 (UTC)
- My local research library lacks BMOP prior to volume 26. We'll have to wait for someone who has access to earlier volumes to confirm the content. Walter Siegmund (talk) 17:06, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
