New Zealand

Hi DuckWrangler97, just a heads-up on your otherwise excellent edit to Eastern rosella ↗ - things related to New Zealand's two main islands are always referred to as ''in'' the island, never ''on'', in the same way as you might say "in Trinidad" or "in Java". Grutness...''<small><span style="color: #008822;">wha?</span> ↗</small>'' 03:20, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

:Thanks very much for letting me know! That makes perfect sense, and I'll make sure to keep that in mind for editing NZ-related articles in the future. DuckWrangler97 (talk) 19:34, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 11

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of extinct bird species since 1500 ↗, a link pointing to the disambiguation page Otus ↗ was added.

(Opt-out instructions.) --DPL bot (talk) 10:03, 11 June 2026 (UTC)

:Fixed, thanks! DuckWrangler97 (talk) 14:14, 11 June 2026 (UTC)

Guibemantis methueni ↗

"Lumping" sounded too informal, but the link you provided explained that it is part of some fields' jargon. The link you provided built consensus. Jellysandwich0 (talk) 00:38, 26 June 2026 (UTC)

:@Jellysandwich0 Rock on, thanks for the feedback! Totally agree, if I weren't a biologist I would think it was odd word choice as well.
