Where does the name Common Murre come from? I've only heard Common Guillemot. Is Murre maybe the American name for the bird? From what I know the Common Guillemot is closely related to the Black Guillemot, and that is not listed as "black murre" on Wikipedia. Drattli (talk) 21:03, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Black Guillemot is in a different genus. Murre versus guillemot represents two different names used on different sides of the Atlantic. In global lists and works (like Wikipedia) sometimes the British name wins and sometimes the American one does; in this case the North American one did. Murre was used, I believe, in the past in Britain too. Sabine's Sunbird talk 22:39, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Picture caption

The the picture in the box does not show a bridled bird, as mentioned in the caption and according to picture details it was taken on Helgoland, not in Norway. 134.245.146.31 (talk) 09:23, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the caption but could find nothing that identifies the bird as coming from Helgoland. Dger (talk) 01:54, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Article issues and classification

The categories list:

)- Articles with unsourced statements from January 2012
)- Articles with unsourced statements from May 2013
)- Articles with unsourced statements from January 2012
)- Articles with unsourced statements from September 2014

The WP:B-class criteria #1 states, The article is suitably referenced, with inline citations. It has reliable sources, and any important or controversial material which is likely to be challenged is cited.

Reassess article to C-class until issues are resolved. -- Otr500 (talk)

External links

There are currently nine external links.

Three seems to be an acceptable number of links and of course, everyone has their favorite to add for a forth.

The problem is that none is needed for article promotion.

ELpoints #3) states: Links in the "External links" section should be kept to a minimum. A lack of external links or a small number of external links is not a reason to add external links.
LINKFARM states: There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to the external links section of an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia. On articles about topics with many fansites, for example, including a link to one major fansite may be appropriate.
ELMIN: Minimize the number of links.
ELCITE: Not relevant. Do not use {{cite web}} or other citation templates in the External links section. Citation templates are permitted in the Further reading section.

External links This page in a nutshell: External links in an article can be helpful to the reader, but they should be kept minimal, meritable, and directly relevant to the article. With rare exceptions, external links should not be used in the body of an article.

Second paragraph, acceptable external links include those that contain further research that is accurate and on-topic, information that could not be added to the article for reasons such as copyright or amount of detail, or other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article for reasons unrelated to its accuracy.

WP:ELBURDEN: Disputed links should be excluded by default unless and until there is a consensus to include them. -- Otr500 (talk) 20:55, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Please note: There are several instances of dangling sentences. This is unsourced content added after a source. -- Otr500 (talk) 21:00, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
