message: Request received to merge articles: Spiculosis into Kerry Blue Terrier; dated: 1/24. Proposer's Rationale: {not stated}. I'm proposing to merge spiculosis with Kerry Blue Terrier under the health section, as this is a rare and obscure condition only known in the breed. Current article doesn't meet notability and the information that is good (some of it is simply incorrect such as calling the breed a 'species') would benefit the article.

thread_title:  Sourcing 

message: Don't understand why the quotes. In English usage at least, a hare and a rabbit are not the same animal, and rabbit-hunting isn't a sport the way hare-hunting is. English rabbits go to ground in burrows. Hares dwell in "forms", above-ground lairs, and so can be chased with harriers. Rabbits, when hunted for sport (or the working-class table, traditionally), are hunted with terriers or ferrets, to either dig them out or catch them underground.

Also, if the sentence claims that a synonyme for "large-sized breed of dog" is Mastiff, that's not true either!

Talk:Cesky Terrier

message: I have noticed an ongoing edit conflict on the Cesky Terrier article over recent months; the page was protected for a short while but fairly promptly after the protection expired, the amendments to the article and external links re-started.
As someone who is not involved in the breed at all, I have tried to re-word the section that seems to be causing the problem in a neutral way and providing what I hope are correct references. As the breed clubs have now been treated as reliable sources within the article, it is not necessary for them to also appear as 'External links'.
I have copied this post on the User Talk pages of the editors/IPs I think are involved in the conflict, in the hope you will all discuss this matter here until consensus can be reached.

Talk:American Water Spaniel

message: I included a photo of the entire dog, head to tail from the side. Also, I think there is an inaccuracy in the history. According to Paul Morrison (source at the bottom of the page--I don't know how to do footnotes), Doc Pfeiffer believed the AWS was the product of Curley Coated retrievers mixed with Field Spaniels. Pfeiffer did not deny the presence of Irish Water Spaniel blood, but he thought it had been added during the 1920s--looking at one of the surviving lines would seem to confirm this.

Talk:Tonkinese cat

message: ----
== Photos ==
I added a couple of my Tonks, but they aren't the best shots to show body coloration and such.  I hope others will feel free to add and/or edit the photos!  My 3 are CFA registered, 2 of which are grand premiers in CFA.  So they are good representations of the breed, at least in America.  Tonks outside the US look a bit different.
The pile photo is a great one to show the classic Tonkpile though.  The world over Tonks do this!  These cats are always piled up with each other, especially in cooler weather.

::There is no such thing as a "flame point" tonkinese.  The cat pictured is a tabby of some undetermined origin. Mooshimanx 22:21, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I researched this statement on the Tonkinese cat page.
"Some claim that the appearance of the breed is closer to the original appearance of the Siamese, before Siamese breeders developed today's triangular head and very leggy body. The name is not related to the Tonkin region of Indochina. When the breed was first established in Canada, the breed name was actually spelled "Tonkanese," which was a reference to the island in the musical South Pacific where "half-breeds" suffered no discrimination. The mistaken idea that the name was a geographical reference paralleling the Siamese and Burmese breed names resulted in a gradual switch to the current spelling, under which the breed was recognized by the US registering associations."
I find some factual errors after having read the South Pacific musical script, watched the movie version, and read the book "Tales of the South Pacific" on which the musical is based.
There is no island called Tonkanese in the musical or book.  The two main islands in the musical are Espiritu Santo which is the island the navy station was on and most of the action and the second island is Bali Ha'i. I could not find any reference to either island being described as where "half-breeds" suffered no discrimination.  There are two characters in South Pacific called Bloody Mary and Liat. Both come from the country of Tonkin and were called Tonkinese. Tonkin was in the French area of China which we call today Viet Nam. They came on 3-5 year contracts to work on the plantations. Although the musical does not describe this in such detail as the book, the characters looked and dressed like Chinese and clearly were not local Polynesians. The word Tonkinese is only used to describe non-Polynesians Chinese looking people. So if a person first heard of Tonkinese from the musical, it was not a reference to an island and was a reference to people from Tonkin.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Martino2000 (talk • contribs) 10:46, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Certainly correct here. Perhaps a misspelling (deliberate or accidental) by the Canadian folks involved? Or a misunderstanding about just what Tonkin was and how it might be used, slightly modified, in English? Or just confusion about just how factually based the book (and to a lesser etent, the musical and movie) were? ww (talk) 11:19, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  question 

message: In Europe the classification as Javanese (or Mandarin) implies no points. Therefore the more (or less) correct name of the breed here is Oriental Longhair as TICA names it. The reason for naming Javanese as "pointed" cats is solely the fact, that CFA only accepts "Siamese" in four colours: seal, chocolate, blue and lilac. All other pointed oriental cats are according to CFA "Oriental". To me, it doesn't make sense, to call a pointed cat Javanese, only to obey the rules of CFA.

Talk:Havana Brown

message: I'm a little intrigued by some of the statements in this page, in particular that the Havana is a British breed.  The GCCF and FIFe both don't recognize Havana as a separate breed; it's an Oriental Short Hair.  Yes, possibly there was a very similar cat in the 1890s (Brown Siamese?  There are people who believe that might have been a Burmese), but what does that have to do with the current US breed?
This is also the first I've heard of Havanas being endangered.  Certainly internationally they can be born in any Oriental Short Hair litter.  
Can somebody update this page to show the international picture?  Groogle 07:18, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Chestnut Oriental Shorthairs and Havana Browns are not the same cat. As you note, GCCF doesn't recognize them as a seperate breed, this is because there aren't any in the UK.

I have owned and showed Bombays for over 20 years and this is my description of an American Bombay's personality.
American Bombays are single people cats, they tend to have one person who is the center of their world.  Unlike most cats, Bombays are very demonstrative and demanding when it comes to attention.  Bombay's will often times follow you around the house and leap to your sholder when you stop moving.  They are great pets for someone who wants a constant companion.    —Preceding unsigned comment added by Susangusfo (talk • contribs) 20:26, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Personality Section 

message: This has got to be one of the most poorly written pages on Wikipedia. Contributors need to consider that this is an encyclopedic entry and not a forum for talking about your own pet. Also being the owner of one Bombay Cat does not qualify you to write a Wikipedia page, especially if not using references. The reference that I find particularly poor is "5" http://mybombaycat.com/bombay-cat-characteristics-and-personality/ Not only does this website contradict itself several times, but it totally contradicts the rest of what people have written in the Wikipedia page. For example, the Wikipedia page currently states that Bombay cats are medium sized heavy cats, whereas this reference states that they are small cats. So which is it? I would suggest that all sentences linking to this reference are deleted. Many of these made-up "facts" are in the personality section and seem to be one person's view of their particular cat and in my experience could be associated with just about any breed of cat.

Talk:American Curl

message: This reader came to the American Curl article merely for information. As a non-expert, I can only comment on the clarity of the article.
It is mentioned that the origin of the breed was "the result of a spontaneous mutation.[1]" The referenced .pdf [1] requires subscription to the "Journal of Heredity" without which it cannot be viewed, leaving the visitor ultimately with no explanation.
The article mentions that "two stray kittens were found", that one ran away, leaving the sole remaining cat as the "the foundation female of the American Curl breed" but it is unclear why that is significant or how that might be different if the other cat had not ran away. There is a gap in logic here.
The subject heading "History" contains little or no history. Consider changing the heading.
