Brown quail

  • ... that the introduction of the brown quail into New Zealand may have contributed to the extinction of that country's native quail?

5x expanded by Cwmhiraeth (talk). Self-nominated at 09:15, 6 August 2015 (UTC).

  • : New enough (5x expansion window begins 2 August). Long enough (> 3k prose characters). Hook is fine, and cited. Images are compliant with policy and properly licensed. QPQ completed. Neutrality and citations are generally good; NZBO links to us, but doesn't strictly cite us, so I don't think there's a citogenesis risk, and as it's a partnership between New Zealand's national museum, national ornithological society, and Department of Conservation, it's unquestionably a reliable source. Most of the spotchecked text has no close paraphrasing issues; however:
Source: "...contributed to the extinction of the endemic New Zealand quail through the introduction of new diseases."
Article: "...contributed to the extinction of the native New Zealand quail, perhaps through the introduction of disease."
Especially as that's the support text for the hook, I feel it hews too closely to the original phrasing. A rewrite here should all that's required for me to give this the green check. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 15:49, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:27, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
  • : Change satisfied my concerns on paraphrasing. I think we're good to go here. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 17:31, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
