== Plural? ==
== Orphaned references in [[:Canada goose]] ==


Would the plural of Canada Goose not be Canadian Geese? My roommate who studies ornithology says it’s not but the grammar is confusing me. Help? [[Special:Contributions/4.18.201.154|4.18.201.154]] ([[User talk:4.18.201.154|talk]]) 06:49, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
I check pages listed in [[:Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting]] to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for [[User:AnomieBOT/docs/OrphanReferenceFixer|orphaned references]] in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of [[:Canada goose]]'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for ''this'' article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I think this should be expanded that commercial farmed geese are not as 'gamey' tasting, and may be slightly fattier meat. I can eat Canada goose, but it is not a favorite. Even farmed geese have lost out in a major way to turkey just about everywhere. Maybe a bit about what is usual in the preparation of wild geese of the species would be an expansion of information for the article?

Plural?

Would the plural of Canada Goose not be Canadian Geese? My roommate who studies ornithology says it’s not but the grammar is confusing me. Help? 4.18.201.154 (talk) 06:49, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There's no reason why the plural would be "Canadian". The plural of Canada Goose is Canada Geese. Aythya affinis (talk) 14:43, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
