[edit] Picture

You can find a picture of a great tit at the german wikipedia: de:Bild:Parus_major.jpg -- de:Hokanomono

Well, this "German" picture is actually taken by me and it is in wikimedia commons, but I've decided it's not so good to be attached here. If anybody thinks otherwise, be free to attach it.

Appearently the picture has been moved to Image:Parusmajorde.jpg. I had posted the top comment a long time ago, when there had not been no such thing as wikimedia commons and images were being shared between wikipedias by download and upload. – Hokanomono 21:22, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Capitalisation

Can somebody explain why "Great Tit" is capitalized like a proper noun? Craw 11:37, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

All species names should be capitalised. That way, you can tell the difference between, say, a Little Ringed Plover and a Ringed Plover which is smaller than average. Andy Mabbett 11:53, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
This guideline is documented at Wikipedia:Wikiproject Birds. (And, hey, most guys spend their time thinking about great tits. Only birders worry about Great Tits.) -- Coneslayer 21:08, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
And how would you know if it was indeed a great tit or a Great Tit that was referenced to? 80.217.188.76 22:15, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
... capitalization ... read harder. Vael Victus (talk) 14:49, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
