Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment[edit]

19th Century?[edit]

I thought one of the Stuart kings passed a law related to the legend, which is why the government maintains the birds to this day. Ring any bells with anyone else?

New Pic[edit]

I've uploaded a new image of a common raven to Wikimedia Commons. The image shows a raven on a branch, picking at a piece of food, and I think shows the raven's hackles well. If anyone feels like it belongs in the article, feel free to add it; I wasn't sure if I should replace an existing image or add it as a new one, and didn't feel comfortable doing that for my own image. — λ (talk | contribs) 03:54, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

range map inaccurate[edit]

the range map is inaccurate, as it appears to not go far enough south or east or west in the virginia area, i spot ravens commonly in these parts. could somebody update it please? Pigeonbloodblues (talk) 12:53, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Pigeonbloodblues:. This map is based on the information provided by the IUCN. Their map is here. If you have another published source we could use (i.e. not your observations unless they're published in a reliable journal) that shows other areas of Virginia, please point us in that direction! MeegsC (talk) 19:44, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

understandable, i will begin a search for a more updated source. Pigeonbloodblues (talk) 22:54, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

they???[edit]

C. c. sinuatus "are sometimes included in C. c. sinuatus". Ooooh welll .... Someone know what info was actually intended here ? MistaPPPP (talk) 19:55, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@MistaPPPP: a subpopulation of C. c. sinuatus – those birds found in the far southwestern US and northwestern Mexico – contains the smallest common raven individuals. This subpopulation is sometimes broken out as a distinct subspecies in its own right. In that case, these birds make up the subspecies C. c. clarionensis. Otherwise they're just considered to be small examples of C. c. sinuatus. MeegsC (talk) 22:04, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
