TfD nomination of Template:Video

Template:Video has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment at Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion#Template:Video the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page.

The nominator Chris Cunningham/User:Thumperward removed the template from all the articles and then nominated it for deletion. This is a well-known Wikipedia:Ownership gambit by stealth removing a feature with mass edits and then claiming it's not used as a reason for deletion.
He then reverted my attempt to keep the video template on an article page at least until the deletion discussion is completed. This prevents editors from making any comparisons on the technical merits of the template, which further forces you to accept his ownership of articles presenting videos. I have requested a Speedy Keep due to his unconsensed mass edits, until there can be an informed and un-owned editorial discussion on the technical merits.
Until he again re-reverts, you can at least temporarily revert his edit to see what the video template looked like, and then consider the technical issues on their merits which are described at the template deletion discussion. Milo 02:39, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article name

The title of the page should read Green-winged macaw. This parrot is never referred to as a "Red-and-Green macaw". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.151.89.239 (talk) 04:47, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Range map shows too restricted distribution

Reading an Argentine source the historical distribution was thought to include the Argentine provinces of Formosa, Chaco, Corrientes and Misiones until the 1960s, when it was largely considered extirpated. It appears to be making a comeback both in Argentina and southern Brazil. It has been known to be present in Iguazú National Park for some years, and the population seems to be naturally spreading southward. Eh, I'll just add the info as prose, but the map is still wrong.

The red-and-green macaw (Ara chloropterus) is a species of macaw, the largest in the genus Ara. Also known as the green-winged macaw, it is widespread in the forests and woodlands of northern and central South America. This juvenile was photographed perching on a tree near the banks of the Rio Negro in the Pantanal, in southwestern Brazil.
