Hello Evo moose.
You may not realise it but the article Barn owl is currently a Featured article candidate This means that it is being reviewed to see if it is of a high enough standard to become a featured article. Adding a section on color polymorphism is not ideal at this stage of the review. The section needs some further work to bring it in line with the rest of the article. For example it uses United States English whereas the rest of the article uses British English, it needs reducing in length so as not to unbalance the article and the referencing needs to be improved before it is added to the main article. For the time being I have moved it to a subpage of your user page so that it can be worked on before returning it to the article. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. You can contact me on my talk page or reply here. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:38, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I endorse Cwmhiraeth's action here. It's a purely temporary measure while the FAC progresses. Although your addition was valid and referenced, it needs tweaking to get it in line with the very demanding standards for a featured article, and it's best not to do that in the article itself while it's under the microscope already. Let us know if you have any queries, or if you would like help with the fine tuning, cheers Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:57, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
