Talk:Alexander Wilson (ornithologist)

Images edit

Both images in this article are of poor quality. Perhaps someone familiar with the American Memory can dig out some better ones? There's better version of Wilson's birds on [1], so probably we can use it (the book itself is in the PD so probably the scan from the book is in PD too, right?). --romanm (talk) 22:05, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Re-insertion of interesting link edit

Since I noticed that there was some concern with the link to “Majesty Sublime” I had added previously, I am re-inserting it (under the more precise title "Alexander Wilson")with the assurance that it is not spam and does pertain directly to Alexander Wilson. The link provides a brief overview of Wilson’s work not only as an ornithologist, but also as a writer and poet. The link is a well-researched and reputable online exhibit from Cornell University libraries.--MannLib (talk) 12:52, 19 August 2008 (UTC)MannLibReply

Non-Wilson Illustration edit

"Oiseaux" is not from American Ornithology. See one of the reference links on the page to see all of Wilson's illustrations. [1] Isegot 01:40, 21 March 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Isegot (talkcontribs)

  • "Oiseaux" was by Jacques Barraband, in H.N. Zoologie. Updated image, and removed from Wilson's gallery.[2] Zeete (talk) 22:14, 9 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
