Further sections

Would adding a section about key papers (ie. Galapagos finch work done by the Grants) be beneficial? --AccidentalHerpetologist (talk) 16:07, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes! It would be good to add a section talking about Darwin and his work on the finches.Eminguyen2003 (talk) 07:46, 13 January 2025 (UTC) Eminguyen2003 (talk) 07:45, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Attribution missing

Greetings, all. The image of Darwin's finches in the infobox is attributed to John Gould, but although the image is indeed taken from his monograph, the image itself, as well as the others in that text, were drawn by the author's wife, illustrator Elizabeth Gould. Shouldn't the image be attributed also to her? -The Gnome (talk) 13:08, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
