About the redirect from "Cacatua goffini"

[edit]

The redirect "Cacatua goffini" has recently been changed to redirect to "Ducorps' Cockatoo" having previously redirected to "Goffin's Cockatoo". ITIS (not always quoted for bird names) says that "Cacatua goffini" is synonymous with "Cacatua goffiniana", the "Goffin's Cockatoo". Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

The only thought I have on the matter is that it is making my head hurt... ;) --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 23:45, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
See: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/document/43942 :
The history and taxonomic status of the species-group names Lophochroa goffini Finsch, 1863, and Cacatua tanimberensis Roselaar & Prins, 2000, both used to name the Tanimbar Corella, are reviewed nomenclaturally. It is confirmed that Lophochroa goffini (sensu Finsch, 1863) is not applicable to the Tanimbar Corella, but represents a junior synonym of Cacatua ducorpsii Pucheran, 1853, as shown by Roselaar & Prins (2000). The substitute name Cacatua tanimberensis they proposed is an objective junior synonym of L. goffini and subjective junior synonym of C. ducorpsii. From the nomenclatural point of view, the Tanimbar Corella remains undescribed and is here named.
Goffin's Corella has only been formally described in 2004, explaining the backlog most websites have. -- Kim van der Linde at venus 23:54, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Solomons CockatooDucorps' Cockatoo — To popular name of cockatoo. The species has a very popular name of "Ducorps' Cockatoo", which has been the stable name of this article since the page was started in 2005. If there is no consensus supporting the new name, then the page move should be reverted. Snowman (talk) 12:08, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
