Talk:Dog park

message: I'd have preferred a discussion before you removed the sentence, IP user. I will be finding sources and "correcting" what you deem to be an opinion instead of fact, since much of what is listed in that sentence not only makes common sense, but happens to be promoted by dog park etiquette experts.

thread_title: Normative Sentence

message: Removed new "benefits" section as it was a direct copy of []. If we can get permission from that site to use the text under GFDL, it can go back in.  Elf | Talk 21:34, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, I put it back. Thanks! I think the references are fine. Elf | Talk 17:25, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Benefits Section

message: PLEASE NOTE: I've made extensive changes to this entry between March and April of 2009, adding citations and working on the neutrality of the tone. It's been two years since the last comments were made. I believe that some of my changes address the issues you had with the original writing, however I kept the original outlines where I could.

replies: text: "My dog Darby and I visit the Minnehaha Regional Park off-leash area almost every day that I'm not at work," enthused Robert Coffman, St. Paul. "It's good exercise for the two of us. It's a pleasant way for me to get some fresh air, and Darby couldn't be happier!"

thread_title: Major Changes Made

message: I just moved the page... why on Earth was this at "Dog park (dogs)"? Do you suppose there would be "Dog park (cats)"? "Dog park (orangutans)"? - furrykef (Talk at me) 20:42, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Just found there's a Dog Park (movie) Great. Why'd the disambiguation have to be at Dog Park with nothing at Dog park? OK, so should we move the page back to Dog park (dogs), or have two articles, Dog park and Dog Park? - furrykef (Talk at me) 20:48, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

text: Here's what happened:  I wrote the original dog park article, but found that an article for the movie already existed.  Therefore, I created a dog park (dogs) article and then created a disambiguation page. This was back in June of 2004. At that time, I didn't really know what else to do.The Dogfather 20:20, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article title 

message: I took out this: "Off-leash dog areas are places of camaraderie and friendship. They are wonderful places used by caring and responsible people."
This was just too hokey and opinionated.  I personally love dog parks, but there are plenty of irresponsible people that use them.  It just sounded too much like a plug- not very fitting for a dictionary.
: I agree to the change.  They're just dog parks, not a religion.  And as much as I like visiting the dog park, it is from time to time visited by ignorant oafish people and their aggressive, dangerous mutts.
I've added citations that address this issue. By the way, I did not write the above observations. Vsanborn (talk) 21:42, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  I edited benefits page 

message: User talk:24.124.29.130 anonymously nominated this article for a neutrality check.  I discovered this page after linking to it.  Boy, this article really really really sucks!  I was hoping for information about various parks around the country, world, etc., how they are managed, etc.  Instead there are unsourced diatribes for and against dogs.  Quite frankly this article would be best served by nuking everything except the lead graf and the links.  Unless the sections are rewritten or you can give compelling reasons why they should stay I will probably do that. Americasroof 03:05, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In looking at the history the part that is most offensive is the anonymous unsourced rant added by User talk:69.47.228.118 in December 2005.  If I nuke sections of the article it will be the unsourced data and that section will have to go.  Unfortunately, I have a horrible feeling this will turn into flamebait.  The only way to keep things cool is to put sources on everything.Americasroof 03:14, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Personally I think the original article that I wrote was sufficient.  As usual a lot of other helpful "editors" came along and added a load of opinionated crap to an otherwise neutral, simple page. The Dogfather 20:58, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Neutrality Check Nomination

message: I've been an activist for off-leash hours and off-leash park area for dogs for several years. I was hoping that Wikipedia had some good material. I am very disappointed in what this article contains and especially what it lacks: cited sources for the claims made. DCDuring 00:01, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Unreferenced Assertions

message: Reference 32, regarding Cesar Milan's suggestions on pre-park walks seems to be missing, and a search of the site it sends me to is utterly unhelpful in regards to finding it. I'd say this needs to be re-sourced. 
Also, feel free to use this for any other out-of-date reference finds.

thread_title:  References missing? 

message: Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.
Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
*http://www.articlesbase.com/pets-articles/puppy-socialization-dont-neglect-this-important-part-of-training-your-dog-724036.html
*:Triggered by \barticles(?:base|vana)\.com\b on the global blacklist
