Okay. So, as always, it's a pretty good and comprehensive article. There are a few issues, but they're mainly a problem for it moving forwards, I'd say:

For purposes of completeness, I'm going to compare this to the featured article Microscopium, and check whether it has similar range of content. Having reviewed, it does. HOWEVER, it could really use at least one historical depiction of the constellation, to show how its stars (supposedly) fit the bird of paradise shape.

I'd suggest using http://aa.usno.navy.mil/library/rare/BayerUran1661PiscisBot.jpg (file information can be copied from File:Johann_Bayer_-_Uraniometria_-_Southern_Birds.jpg). Alternatively, a crop of File:Cellarius_southern_scenographic.jpg would work. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 20:57, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

Sourcing looks good; information a good range of material. I think it's just the lack of a historical depiction that's holding this back. Honestly, I could probably promote without, but... Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 20:36, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

ok will take a look at best one to crop or use... Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 09:19, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

That'll do, methinks. It's really obvious why the Apus name's derivation from Europeans oonly getting wingless footless specimens when you see how they depict it, I think. ✓ Pass Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 15:37, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

Oh, there's a point - it's probably worth discussing the Apus/Apis confusion caused by Musca's bee-era. Briefly, as it was, after all, Musca that changed. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 15:46, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
