Hooded Plover → Hooded Dotterel – To have consistency with IOC English names. WP Birds have a policy of using IOC names unless there is a very good reason not to. Snowman (talk) 10:51, 31 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

• Futile complaint: It should be Hooded plover or Hooded dotterel, per WP:NCCAPS. --BDD (talk) 17:34, 31 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

The result of the move request was: not moved. There was a weak consensus to keep the current title, and in any case a new move move request should nit have been opened so soon after the previous one. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:25, 21 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hooded Dotterel → Hooded Plover – The common name of Thinornis rubricollis is Hooded Plover, IOC's selected name (Hooded Dotterel) isn't yet a common name and the WP:BIRDS naming convention violates WP:LOCALCONSENSUS.

Oppose Better to have international rather than local names, leads to inconsistency with the name of the other member of the genus Jimfbleak - talk to me? 14:56, 14 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

In this case, I can go with either name. The bird is only found in Australia, so WP:LOCAL CONSENSUS is more at play, however Jimfbleak's point of having consistency in the genus should also be taken into account. As a point of reference, there are 2 names the IOC uses in the genus Charadrius. Most of the species are .... Plover, except for the Eurasian Dotterel, "Charadrius morinellus, so there is precedent should the consensus decide to change back to Hooded Plover....Pvmoutside (talk) 01:03, 15 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Oppose. I support an international standard for common bird names. Hooded Dotterel is actually a more traditional common name for the bird; it was used by Gould and many others in the 19th, and for much of the 20th, centuries. In Australia 'dotterel' has been, and is often still, used for charadriids that breed within the continent rather than migrate to the Arctic, or for those not within the genus Charadrius (such as Hooded Dotterel) - hence Inland Dotterel, Red-kneed Dotterel and Black-fronted Dotterel. See also the Hoody's New Zealand congener and closest relative, the Shore Dotterel. Maias (talk) 00:02, 17 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
