Madeira Firecrest

The Madeira Firecrest is a very small passerine bird that is endemic to the island of Madeira. It is a member of the kinglet family. Before it was recognised as a separate species in 2003, it was classified as a subspecies of the Common Firecrest. It differs in appearance and vocalisations from its relative, and genetic analysis suggests evolutionary separation took place roughly 4 million years ago. It is small and plump, 9–10 cm (3.5–3.9 cm) long and weighing about 5 g (0.18 oz). It has green upperparts, whitish underparts and two white wingbars, and a distinctive head pattern with a black eye stripe, short white supercilium, and a crest that is mainly orange in the male and yellow in the female. The female Madeira Firecrest builds a spherical nest from cobwebs, moss and small twigs, and she incubates the eggs and broods the chicks on her own. Both parents feed the young. This species forages for insects and other small invertebrates in tree heath, laurisilva and other woodland. It is common within its restricted range, living mainly at higher levels from 600–1,550 m (1,950–4,900 ft) in all types of forests and scrub, and is not considered to be threatened.

While I can't save every badly sourced article in the world, I'm disappointed that after spending ten minutes trying to find sources that show negative coverage of a company, it still gets supervoted as "unambiguous advertising". Ritchie333 12:04, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Just wanting to make sure — have you verified the concerns that led to the page's deletion? I was beginning to investigate when I got a "this page has been deleted" message from the system. Nyttend (talk) 14:51, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

I'm going to assume that your deletion of User talk:Till was just a button slip. U1 doesn't apply to a user's talk page.—Kww(talk) 15:52, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

I'm communicating off-line with Till to figure out what's going on.—Kww(talk) 15:57, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Having dealt with the image caption, I felt incompetent to deal with the other issues brought up by NikkiMaria. Thank you for doing so. Did you just add "PD-US" in double curly brackets to the file? And in the case of the distribution map, I can't see what you did. I have only added distribution maps to articles when I happened to find a suitable one in Commons. Having altered the colour key on the Starling one, I might try creating a map for the article Brolga on which I am working at the moment now that I see how it can be done.

Hi. I've declined your prod-BLP as I don't reckon he's around now. He captained Cardiff in 1914, and he'd have been around 20 then. I've added a ref that mentions this. Peridon (talk) 11:29, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
