:As it says at the top of the page when you edit it, See: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Dog_breeds#Infobox_Dogbreed_template for full explanation of the syntax used in this template. In wikipedia, templates have a predefined list of items that you can include. The dog breeds project has a very specific list of what it considers to be the major English-language kennel clubs, which are represented in the template.  If you'd like to open this dicussion again (not sure it ever entirely closed) about how to choose what to list in the breed box, feel free to do so on the talk page for the WikiProject.  And note that the breed standard is already listed in the external links.  If you have any questions, you can contact me on my user talk page, although I sometimes don't check back for a couple of days.  Elf | Talk 20:58, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Info Box 

message: It says "These types are not "land races" as dictated by the Africanis Society, but rather unique types developed for certain specific conditions, and that do exhibit differences in type one from the other."  But the article landrace says that "A landrace is a local variety of a domesticated animal or plant species which has developed over time, by adaptation to the natural and cultural environment in which it lives".  So the sentence makes no sense. Chrisrus (talk) 06:55, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Definitely a landrace (or perhaps several, depending on definition).  The efforts by one, possibly two, groups to establish standardized breeds from Africanis foundation stock doesn't change that, it simply introduces new subtopics. We cover all landrace-into-breed efforts the same way: write about the landrace, cover the breed as a subtopic (see, e.g., Aegean cat), unless and until the breed becomes fully recognized by international registries, in which case write about them the other way around (see, e.g., Manx cat, and any of a zillion dog breeds developed from local landraces such as the Samoyed). If the breed is firmly established, it is the main topic, as many people will have heard of it through breed books and such; if the breed[s] is/are not established, then treating them as anything but provisional attempts would violate WP:NOT#CRYSTALBALL policy.  Most attempts to establish new breeds , and WP is not in a position to declare success until the world declares success.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  19:05, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: , everything we include here on Wikipedia should be cited to WP:Reliable sources, which has been the case on this page. As has been explained to you, your edits contradict those sources and you have not introduced any new sources to verify what you claim, without doing so your claims are WP:Original research, something that is prohibited here on Wikipedia. You may find Wikipedia’s standards frustrating or arbitrary, but they are applied across the encyclopedia. Cavalryman (talk) 20:28, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

text: Cadae9265, you are refusing to respond to legitimate concerns about your edits to this page, further accusations of sock puppetry without evidence is considered a personal attack, something that is taken seriously here on Wikipedia. As already said, can you provide any reliable sources that corroborate your amendments to the page and justify the removal of other content? Cavalryman (talk) 01:22, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Apart from bordering on the paranoid, obfuscation of the topic is not helpful. William Harris (talk) 06:29, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
