It may be that this article needs renaming/etc. I have posted the relevant book/journal excerpt on talk, but I am not really familiar with pigeons/etc. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 15:59, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Writing about breeds[edit]

After two new-ish editors ended up at WP:ANI in the same week for breeds-related disruptive editing (and one topic-ban was issued), I've expanded a bullet-point list of advice for them into an essay: Wikipedia:Writing about breeds.

It provides a crash course in how to write about breeds the Wikipedia way. It's mostly for new editors, but might be of use to some more experienced ones who have not written about breeds before or thought much about how our WP:P&G apply to the topic area.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  07:52, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Capitalization of names of standardized breeds[edit]

 – Pointer to relevant discussion elsewhere.

Please see Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#RfC on capitalization of the names of standardized breeds.

This is a neutral RfC on a question left unanswered by MOS:LIFE (on purpose in 2012–2014, pending "later discussion"). It is now later, and lack of resolution of the question has held up MOS:ORGANISMS in draft proposal state for 6 years.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  22:03, 9 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

First annual Tree of Life Decemberween contest[edit]

After all the fun with the Spooky Species Contest last month, there's a new contest for the (Northern hemisphere's) Winter holidays at Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life/Contest. It's not just Christmas, but anything festive from December-ish. Feel free to add some ideas to the Festive taxa list and enter early and often. --Nessie (talk) 18:26, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Domestic Pigeon and Feral Pigeon[edit]

As i have talked about in their respective pages, i feel like feral pigeon has many bits of information that should be in the wild pigeon page (rock dove) as the domesticated birds still share many of their wild behaviors. Furthermore, as feral pigeons are merely escaped/abandoned performers, i suggest splitting the content on the feral page and moving some sections to the rock dove page, and some of it to the domestic pigeon page, and redirecting the feral page to the domestic page. Alternatively, the feral pigeon page should be altered to the street dog or street cat standards. Anthropophoca (talk) 13:55, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've copied this comment to Talk:Feral pigeon. In general, it helps to give your rationale all in one place and just tell other editors to go look at the proposal. This way discussion stays together and participants can see the line of reasoning all in one place. — Wug·a·po·des​ 22:30, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I see. So i just provide them a link? Anthropophoca (talk) 03:36, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
