Talk:Pigeon racing

message: What on earth is this bizzare little stub doing in Wikipedia? Is there really such a sport as pigeon racing? Is it popular? What is it? Tintenammae 09:42, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

message: It was a while ago now that I rewrote this article, in the hope of guiding it toward a GA. I would like to thank all the contribtors who improved this article after me.
However, There is still more work to be done to get this article the recognition it needs. Reading through it I have noticed that it needs to be wikified, and the tone of the article needs to be made more formal.
So please, lets bring on constructive edits and get this article some status! Abbott75 ღ 07:26, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds like a good idea. I'll help as I can. Mostly seems to be wikified now? Tag belongs at top of article anyhow. You can nominate it at Wikipedia:Good article nominations under Natural sciences - biology and medicine. Once someone gets around to doing the review they will come and give a list of what needs doing.--Sting au Buzz Me... 07:49, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I'm pretty happy with the wikification and have worked a little on the tone. One major improvement that is requred (IMHO) is a good lead section, and that is most certainly not my specialty. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Abbott75 ღ 09:20, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Also, shouldn't "one-loft racing" be somewhere near "racing", rather than after "regions"? Jimfbleak (talk) 14:27, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Not a GA issue, but why not have a picture of a Peregrine Falcon, a known pigeon-fancier (: under "hazards"? Jimfbleak (talk) 14:29, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd be inclined to remove (web article) from the web refs - not needed. Also last ext link, squab or chick, but ;please not baby! Jimfbleak (talk) 09:32, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I had never even noticed that before. Squab and chick don't seem to 'fit', how about "young pigeon"? Abbott75 ღ 12:09, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Squab or squeaker are common names used.--Sting au Buzz Me... 22:53, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I misstated the reason for undoing the last change which was made to this page.  I said I thought the links were "cogent" when in fact I meant to say that they were correct in terms of the subject.--Onorio (talk) 02:00, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

message: First, I can't find instructions on how to post to Talk so I'm copying what I see others doing above.
On the "Pigeon racing" page, search for "unique ses" (it's in the first sentence of the "Traditional timing method" section).  The word "ses" is linked to the Se page which is a disambiguation page (I think that's what you call it).  There is no relevant entry on that page for ses or se (in other words, no link for the timing).  I looked for a good link in places like clock mechanisms but couldn't find one.  Can somebody correct this link?  Thanks.

thread_title:  Incorrect disambiguation page link 

message: There seems to be two reference sections - one in the middle of the article?
Also, I think it would be beneficial to try to find some more "professional" pictures for the article, a lot of the current pics look very amateur and give the sport a bad look in my opinion. The small release at the start of the article could be replaced with a picture of a race birds being released from a truck. The scabby pigeons walking on the ground could be replaced with pictures of well trained, healthy birds in race form in a loft. 220.245.57.250 (talk) 01:23, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
