If anyone is interested/amused, A several year standoff ended on Wikipedia last month regarding capitalization of bird names. Several regulars (including me) who write on birds had kept around 9000 articles with capitalized names (as per IOC), however a group of editors who are interested in guidelines and conformity pushed for lower case renditions of bird names. A poll held fell firmly in favour of lower case names and the articles are all being rapidly de-capitalised...
