    • If you check the article, it is in fact an alternate spelling. If you would like me to correct it, however, I can. NauticaShades 15:33, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • "Widgeon" may be an alternate spelling for "Wigeon", but "American Widgeon" is not an alternate spelling for "Gadwall". -- Coneslayer (talk) 15:47, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
