Talk:Neophema

"common" name of parrots

From the article on Neophema there is a statement that birds of the Neophema genus ' ... are commonly known as grass parakeets.' Elsewhere, in the wikipedia parakeet article, it is noted that the term 'parakeet' is North American. The point I am trying to make is that us Australians 'never' use the term parakeet to describe our local parrots. An index search through 'The Field Guide To The Birds of Australia' (Pizzey and Knight, 2001) shows no listings for parakeets, and so I wish to ask who gets to define 'commonly known'?
