European Kingfisher is included in the 2007 Wikipedia for Schools, or is a candidate for inclusion in future versions. Please maintain high quality standards, and make an extra effort to include free images, because non-free images cannot be used on the CDs. |
[edit] Change of Title
The name "Common Kingfisher" is far more widely known than "European Kingfisher". Google searches yield
- "Common Kingfisher": 138K pages
- "European Kingfisher": 552 pages
Also, IUCN as well as other web resources such as birdguides or Internet Bird Videos show Alcedo atthis as "Common Kingfisher" and do not mention the name "European Kingfisher".
Unless there are other reasons, I would feel that the page should be moved to Common Kingfisher which seems overwhelmingly the most prevalent usage. mukerjee (talk) 10:24, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
