Indian peafowl was nominated as a Natural sciences good article, but it did not meet the good article criteria at the time (January 12, 2013). There are suggestions on the review page for improving the article. If you can improve it, please do; it may then be renominated. |

I rerated this as a 'C' today as it was probably rated before we had 'C' grade anyway. Casliber (talk · contribs) 23:46, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
A note describing the Japanned peahen as being leucistic has been removed. The citation of Darwin was used which does not cover this. Additionally without evidence (other than an archaic image where a leucistic peahen is included with a "Pavo nigripennis") this would be original research and a reliable source would be a paper on the genetic inheritance of the traits. Something like doi:10.1093/jhered/82.1.64 at the very least. Shyamal (talk) 02:06, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
I just added some new information regarding Indian peafowl's sexual selection to the existing description of male ornamental plumage in the opening of Behaviour and Ecology section. The new information includes debate on female choice of male train, detailed information about train length as an indicator of physical condition and possible evolutionary explanation of peacock train. I haven't yet worked out all the citations and links to other Wikipedia pages. I would welcome any feedback on my edition! Thank you. Tianyi Cai (talk)

This entry is generally very well written. The introduction is of a reasonable length and briefly summarizes some key points about Indian peafowl, such as their most prominent ornate train. In examining the particularly article sections, the taxonomy and naming section puts a lot of emphasis on the history of the naming, but ignores the taxonomy aspect. It would be more complete if there was information about Indian Peafowl’s position on the phylogenetic tree. The description section is very detailed. The distribution and habitat section may benefit from more description about peacocks’ nests, i.e. whether they have a nest, who builds it and what it is like. In the mortality factor section, common parasites and diseases of Indian peacocks might be added to the predation factor alone. This article has been constantly updated. As a result, its content is relatively rich and comprehensive. Tianyi Cai (talk) 12:46, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Good, well-written article. I am interested here. Only some comments about this:

Sorry, but as you have been away since a fortnight almost, despite my reminders, I had no way but to fail the article. I had much hopes with this, and would love to see it re-nominated later on. This GAN must not let you down, but please take this suggestion of mine - do not be absent when you nominate any article for GA or FA. Sainsf <^>Talk all words 07:26, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
"It was only in the 1970s that this apparent contradiction was resolved based on the evolution of honest signalling and the handicap principle of Amotz Zahavi, though the actual mechanism may be less straightforward than it seems –"
This contradiction is "apparent" and yet it may be less straightforward than it seems? Excuse my language, but what the actual fuck does this mean and/or add to the article? T3hZ10n (talk) 20:11, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

Just added a link to educational article with a video about Indian Peafowls. I think would be very interesting for kids (video)Mark.barkan (talk) 09:43, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
