Dear 66.203.231.239,
Some of your edits on the page October 17 have been undone by PseudoBot, a robot built to keep the date pages tidy. The problems are:

No Wikipedia page has been linked to.

If a Wikipedia page for the person already exists, add a link to it (by putting it in doubled square brackets [[Like this]]) and try again. If it doesn't yet exist, read this page carefully before creating it. In particular, you shouldn't create a page about yourself or anyone you know personally. If this bot has got it wrong (as can unfortunately happen), please accept its author's apologies, and (if you would like) leave a message on this talk page with the details, so it can be improved. Please see this page for help. PseudoBot (talk) 17:56, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

-'''Scimitarbills''' (also spelt '''Scimitar-bills''') are three species of [[Africa]]n [[bird]] belonging to the [[genus]] '''''Rhinopomastus'''''. They are often classified in the [[woodhoopoe]] family Phoeniculidae; however, genetic studies show that they diverged from the true woodhoopoes about 10 million years ago and so they are sometimes placed in a family of their own, the '''Rhinopomastidae'''.
+== October 2008 ==
-They are smaller than most woodhoopoes and their bills are strongly curved like a [[scimitar]], giving them their name. They are mostly glossy black in colour with a few white markings on the wings. While other woodhoopoes are gregarious birds which gather in flocks, the scimitarbills are usually seen alone or in pairs.
+===Your edits to [[October 17]]===
-They feed mainly on [[insect]]s and other [[invertebrate]]s, which they find by using their bills to probe into holes and crevices. They are acrobatic birds, well-adapted for clambering through trees. The eggs are laid in a tree cavity.
