Changed "
white-bellied parrot" to "
black-legged parrot", because I don't think subspecies should be overlooked. The accidental intergradation of parrots in captivity is all too common. Subspecies especially shouldn't be overlooked in cases in which the subspecies are sometimes considered separate species, as it the case here.

Talking bird
→Starlings, rhabdornises (family Sturnidae): The page about "Hill mynahs" is specifically about the common hill myna. Also, on Wikipedia, we generally link the common name rather than the scientific name. Also changed "European starlings" to "
common starling" because that's the name used by the article. Also changed to singular because that's the usual way I've seen species referred to in this article.

Talking bird
→Parrots (order Psittaciformes): Taxonomic sequence parrots according to IOC. Merged paragraphs about the two
rose-ringed parakeet subspecies, as one species, one section. Also linked to the subspecies, as there is no reason to link to the species. Wikipedia may not have an article for those subspecies right now, but it might in the future. And changed the English names for the subspecies to those used in the species article.

Eel
I saw on the
Elopomorpha cladogram that
Notacanthiformes is the sister clade to true eels, so their similarities are unlikely to be convergent evolution. Its true that deep-sea spiny eels are closest to halosaurs, but halosaurs resemble eels too.

AC power plugs and sockets
→Comparison of standard types: changed IS 1293:2005 to IS 1293, as IS 1293:2019 is actually the current version, and I don't think we should list all the different years of IS 1293 (or other standards for that matter) because we will have too many entries in this table then.

Talking bird
→Types: Added order and family names, including both English and scientific. Taxonomy (including sequence) and English family names are based on IOC. Merged all psittacids into one section.

Warbling white-eye
the names "Japanese white-eye" and "mountain white-eye" are not synonyms of "warbling white-eye", they are different concepts.current

Swinhoe's white-eye
This species is part of ''Zosterops japonicus'' sensu lato, but not ''Zosterops japonicus'' sensu stricto. Only the latter is the whistling white-eye. The former is the Japanese white-eye.

Teleostomi
It appears to be paraphyletic, not polyphyletic. Acanthodians seem to be a paraphyletic group, so Teleostomi seems to be Eugnathostomata-Chondricthyes, which is paraphyletic. I think Teleostomi was considered a clade due to having bone, and this is apparently an ancestral trait.

Snake
amphisbaenians are lizards, so they should be talked about in the paragraph about legless lizards. they don't belong in the section about legless amphibians. i know that they are sometimes excluded from the definition of "lizard", but they are definitely squamates, so they cannot be in the section about legless amphibians.
