== Images ==
Both images in this article are of poor quality. Perhaps someone familiar with the [http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/ American Memory] can dig out some better ones? There's better version of Wilson's birds on [http://xroads.virginia.edu/~PUBLIC/wilson/10.html], so probably we can use it (the book itself is in the PD so probably the ''scan'' from the book is in PD too, right?). --[[User:Romanm|romanm]] [[User talk:romanm|(talk)]] 22:05, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 
== Re-insertion of interesting link ==
 
Since I noticed that there was some concern with the link to “Majesty Sublime” I had added previously, I am re-inserting it (under the more precise title "Alexander Wilson")with the assurance that it is not spam and does pertain directly to Alexander Wilson. The link provides a brief overview of Wilson’s work not only as an ornithologist, but also as a writer and poet. The link is a well-researched and reputable online exhibit from Cornell University libraries.--[[User:MannLib|MannLib]] ([[User talk:MannLib|talk]]) 12:52, 19 August 2008 (UTC)MannLib
 
== Non-Wilson Illustration ==
 
"Oiseaux" is not from American Ornithology. See one of the reference links on the page to see all of Wilson's illustrations. <ref>http://xroads.virginia.edu/~PUBLIC/wilson/front.html</ref>

*"Oiseaux" was by Jacques Barraband, in H.N. Zoologie. Updated image, and removed from Wilson's gallery.<ref>http://www.edition-originale.com/fr/sciences-medecine-techniques/sciences/barraband-zoologie-oiseaux-h-n-pl-7-1802-24826</ref> [[User:Zeete|Zeete]] ([[User talk:Zeete|talk]]) 22:14, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
