Hello. I'm TheMadBaron. I've been away. I'm back. With a vengeance.
Slash and burn....
I'm an unashamed deletionist. I'd be an inclusionist if there weren't already far too many of the feckers going completely overboard. You'll often find me on AfD advocating the deletion of absolutely everything. Having said that, I'm not above attempting the occasional Cleanup.
Rock and WHAT????!!!!
I'm engaged in an ongoing project to replace inappropriate links to rock and roll with links to Rock (music). The way I see it, people who think that all music written after 1959 is "rock 'n' roll" probably shouldn't be writing about music at all....

The common blackbird (Turdus merula) is a species of true thrush. It breeds in Europe, Asia, and North Africa, and has been introduced to Canada, the United States, Mexico, Peru, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, the Falkland Islands, Chile, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. It has several subspecies across its large range; a few of the Asian subspecies are sometimes considered to be full species. Depending on latitude, the common blackbird may be resident, partially migratory, or fully migratory. The male of the nominate subspecies, which is found throughout most of Europe, is all black except for a yellow eye-ring and bill and has a rich, melodious song; the adult female and juvenile have mainly dark brown plumage. The species breeds in woods and gardens, building a neat, mud-lined, cup-shaped nest. It is omnivorous, eating a wide range of insects, earthworms, berries, and fruits. This common and conspicuous bird has given rise to many literary and cultural references, frequently related to its song. This female common blackbird, of the subspecies T. m. mauritanicus, was photographed in the Souss-Massa National Park, Morocco.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp
