Any objection to moving this article to "Short-tailed parrot"? (The abc metadata is currently empty - will leave it till a move (or not) is decided.) [[User:Anton Sweeney|Anton Sweeney]] 16:50, 22 September 2007 (CDT)
Yes, check out other articles about species, they are mostly under the scientific name, except very well know species. [[User:Kim van der Linde|Kim van der Linde]] 16:01, 23 September 2007 (CDT)
I like this as a suggestion of what the biology naming convention should be.  It places the (precise) scientific name first, which keeps biologists happy.  But it includes a user-friendly common English name of the species in the title, which increases findability.  I think this is an excellent compromise. --[[User:Larry Sanger|Larry Sanger]] 12:35, 23 October 2007 (CDT)
