Propose renaming (moving) article from Lamprotornis to Glossy-starling[edit]

Would it not be more in keeping with the guideline on bird article names to have this article be under the name Glossy-starling? Articles on plants and animals are usually under the common name when there is one. All these birds are called Glossy-starling.--Brambleshire (talk) 19:11, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Golden-breasted Starling[edit]

Golden-breasted Starling is not included in the list of species, but is in Lamprotornis does anyone know where it fits in taxonomic order, or shall I just add it to the end of the list?
