Oppose for now, expect to strike, multiple
- The Réunion Ibis (Threskiornis solitarius) is ... if the Threskiornis solitarius is an alternate name, it should be both bolded and italicized.
- This isn't done on other featured animal articles, see for example California Condor and Emperor Penguin. FunkMonk (talk) 22:35, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
- Images are facing off the page ... I believe the intent of the MOS guideline applies to both animals and people ... please juggle images so animals aren't looking off the page.
- Onlæy one animal faces away (the one with multiple birds has several that face the text), but there isn't much to do about that single one, it doesn't fit anywhere else. I am well aware of the guideline. FunkMonk (talk) 22:35, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
- In the mid 19th century, ... missing hyphen, pls review throughout.
- An alternate name is mentioned in the second paragraph; is it not possible to get that mentioned sooner?
- The taxonomic history of the Réunion Ibis is very convoluted, ... is there a difference between "very convoluted" and "convoluted"? Please check for redundancy.
- It has been claimed that Bertrand-François Mahé de La Bourdonnais sent a "Solitaire" to France ... weasly ... by whom?
Just random checks, I stopped there, the article is not in bad shape, but some additional prose review would be helpful. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 22:31, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
