The purple sandpiper, in Yorkshire? Equinox ◑ 21:03, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
- As a Yorkshireman myself, never heard of it. But Yorkshire is quite big. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:23, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
RFV failed, entry deleted, regretfully. I don't think it's vandalism — it's listed in the Birds Britannica[1] entry on purple sandpiper, and it's used on various birding and wildlife web-forums and web-sites — but sadly, it doesn't seem to meet the CFI. —RuakhTALK 21:52, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
