Talk:Greater Swiss Mountain Dog

message: "Swissy" is a common nickname for the breed. Apart from noting this fact in the article, there is no way one can refer to a breed by its (diminutive) nickname when using encyclopedic style. Therefore, please refrain from calling the breed a "Swissy" in this article - it simply does not fit the formal quality of writing that one expects from an encyclopedia article. --128.95.61.22 (talk) 19:46, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Do not use "SWISSY"

message: There is a proposal that Temperament sections be eliminated as they usually contain very similar vague and unreferenced platitudes. Please comment on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Dogs#Temperament sections.--Hafwyn (talk) 05:00, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

message: Hello, I'm a student editor working on the Bernese page.  I changed the "Breeds of Sennenhund Dogs" section to look like the other Sennenhund dog pages, which just list their name and common English name.  I don't think it needs to say the sizes of other breeds of dog on the GSMD dog.  Any feedback is appreciated. SoldBuyChristina (talk) 20:27, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

message: I’m not sure about the average age. for us our female greater Swiss  is coming up on 14 years old, over double the average, maybe we are an outlier but just curious if that’s the case or not. 75.72.237.110 (talk) 16:25, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

message: It seems that the majority of appearance has been plagiarised, I'm in the process of confirming which parts are and aren't and removing them.
A lot of the article is the same as https://books.google.co.nz/books?id=2O45BgAAQBAJ&pg=PA79&lpg=PA79&dq=%22the+dog+is+agile+enough+to+perform+the%22&source=bl&ots=K21vDLrshM&sig=ACfU3U25vLdJjB7PcokxkYBC0vSRp_G4bA&hl=en#v=onepage&q=%22the%20dog%20is%20agile%20enough%20to%20perform%20the%22&f=false but it appears that these insertions are older than this book, which means either this book copied from Wikipedia or there is an older version of it and it was republished.
@Justlettersandnumbers I've seen you deal with copyright violation before. Traumnovelle (talk) 09:42, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: https://web.archive.org/web/20130307144226/http://www.gsmdca.org/breed-information/history This site may potentially have either taken content from Wikipedia or content from it was used on the article. Hard to tell given I cannot find a publication date for the website/url. Traumnovelle (talk) 10:13, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Happy to look at this, , but would need to see some examples – GBooks isn't letting me see the pages on this dog in that book. The book is self-published via lulu.com, so there's at least a possibility that it has copied from us. Thanks, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:18, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, so there's definitely a problem here,  – this page predates the creation of our article and is dated 1996. There's enough overlap to be cause for concern. Unless you plan to work on it immediately I'll blank some or all of it and list it at WP:CP. In case you do want to deal with it: it won't be enough to remove just the overlapping material, we'll also need to get rid of any that was copied but then copy-edited such that it no longer rings any bells. Anyway, looking further now ... Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:31, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Better off just blanking it and reworking on the article a later date I'd say, I don't have time today to work on it which is why I simply removed the plagiarised AKC standard. Traumnovelle (talk) 10:36, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

text: For the book here's a screenshot. https://0x0.st/H5Ep.png, but given it's self published it may just plagiarise Wikipedia instead. Traumnovelle (talk) 10:34, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, , will do. I've identified the insertion of content copied from this page with this edit in 2010, and from here with this one by the same editor. At this point I don't think we need worry about the lulu book. Oh, and good catch, by the way! Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:18, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I've gone through practically every source and removed what I found, as well as a lot of "sourced" content that was in reality just OR that someone had stuck random sources onto. I can't find anything else, but if you do find any issues please feel free to remove it as appropriate. As mentioned, the above book is a backwardscopy. Thanks!  – Isochrone (talk) 23:21, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
