Talk:Fox Terrier

message: Are they called terriers because they're used to terrorize the fox out of its hole? Kent Wang 11:00, 13 May 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: No the Terrier part comes from the latin terra meaning earth. Steven jones 11:12, 13 May 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the explanation. Do you think this warrants mention in the article? I'm not so sure of how to put it eloquently. Kent Wang 18:07, 28 May 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: It's already in the Terrier article. I don't see a need to repeat it in each of the dozens of individual terrier breeds. Elf | Talk 18:57, 28 May 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Why called terriers?

message: Nice edit Quill. I changed the headings from being bold text to an actual heading. You can do this by placing "==" arround the text, the benifit in actual headings is that the arcticle will have a table of contents.
I also removed the stub message as the article seems to have reached actual article status. What is still outstanding is that it doesn't match the project standards. I'm not sure if it really should though as it has become an article about the various foxies and not one specific breed. I'm not sure how we should do this from a format point of view?

replies: text: Thanks, Steven.  Yes, I agree with Elf.  These decisions are difficult and we should probably let them evolve.  Elf, thanks for fixing the formatting error on my Jack Russell stub page.  I realized to late what I'd done, thought I'd tackle it this morning, and voila, it's been corrected!  Wikipedia is amazing! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Quill (talk • contribs) .

thread_title: Edit notes

message: I notice with mortification that the Quillster forgot to sign his name again.  I'll get, it, folks--sorry!
This is a nice full article now, but one glaring omission is the lack of breed articles on the Smooth and Wire-haired Foxies (yes, I know that's not how the breed name is written, but I just can't help myself).
If any Standard Fox Terrier owners read this, they're likely to take offence.  I haven't written an article because I'm not an expert on Standard Foxies.  Can we at least have a stub?
Did I just volunteer? Everybody say "no"....  Quill 05:19, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Need to add the Standard Foxies 

message: Can someone please add "wire" to the caption of  the photo of the foxy in the snow?  Also, this photo should be copied into fox terrier (wire) wire fox terrier or whatever we've called that article; I've forgotten.  Quill 22:59, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: p.s. I see that there should be another photo as well, but I can't view it because my uploader isn't uploading.  I look forward to seeing it eventually....Quill 23:22, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Uh, my failure. Sorry. I reverted to the last version. It's called Fox Terrier (Wire) :-). --Avatar-en 01:40, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  It's a wire-haired 

message: I see we're having a little conflict with a standard foxy breeder or enthusiast (anon).  Look, we know that photo is not of a smooth fox terrier.  It is a generic type.  The point was that it had mixed characteristics of the descendent FT breeds.  I'm sorry to see it go, as it was a good illustration in the right context.  People who want to write only about one particular breed, please see the proper specific article, i.e. Fox Terrier Smooth, Toy Fox Terrier and so on. Quill 23:56, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Image of a generic fox terrier 

message: "However, they have an irrational hatred of winged creatures." I'm just really skeptical of this line. It seems to have been added as part of a legitimate edit, but it strikes me as being dubious. 70.225.161.251 (talk) 03:37, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed, i have removed it. It should be cited if it is that questionable/contentious. Mfield (Oi!) 04:15, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Irrational hatred?

message: Thought I should pop a note on the talk page regarding the recent overhaul of the page. I'd been working on this version for a couple of months and had it sitting in userspace. Theres still some improvements that could be done. The two main flaws I see at the moment is that the health section isn't very complete and that the Smooth Fox Terrier related sections talk about the Westminster Show a little too much. Some of those westminstery bits could be combined.  But I'll get around to it. Miyagawa (talk) 09:57, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
