Yellow Billed Hornbill problems
(Currently "Y is for Yellow Billed Hornbill")



[this] page doesn't fit well with the rest of the book. It is the only example where we need the type of animal to make the connection to the letter. By this I mean why "Yellow bill horn bill", "horn bill" would seems more in line with type of names we have been using. Thenub314 (talk) 10:26, 21 February 2009 (UTC)


 * This particular page sticks out like a sore thumb. It is they only example where we need to mention the specific type of animal in order to have the letter. Something where the animals name is one word would fit much better.
 * "Y is for Yak." or something. Thenub314 (talk) 10:23, 21 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Hmm... I am going to collect some images could be edited to work...

Yellowjacket alternative
This example is pretty weak, I admit. Y is for Yellowjacket

Yak alternative
Perhaps a yak would be better? We'd need a good picture of one though; the images that come up when I search "yak" on commons are OK but not all that wonderful. --Speight (talk) 03:38, 24 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I came across the same issue. Even if we find a better picture (or animal), there is also another issue.  How do we reproduce the font of the letter (and it's shadow) that is placed over the picture? Thenub314 (talk) 10:47, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

This really should be Yak. we have nice images, such as this one, which i believe has enough space to add the Y's to.

 * I like the yak. :-)  --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 03:55, 14 June 2014 (UTC)


 * we have good images now i believe, such as this one. i have no graphics skills to reproduce the Y, but i think it would fit on this one.Mercurywoodrose (discuss • contribs) 03:08, 14 June 2014 (UTC)


 * OK I can do that:
 * Y is for Yak.jpg
 * I didn't reproduce the Y as such. I just cut it out and layered it on this different photo
 * Want to swap that onto the page?

 * Done. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 06:33, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Cool. There it is. Of course the video gets out of sync when we make such changes, which is a shame -- Harry Wood (discuss • contribs) 01:16, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
