- I will take this one too, I like the topic. --FunkMonk (talk) 15:01, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
- As in the other article, there could be a characteristics section.
- The intro seems a bit skimpy, could be expanded.
- The linguistics section seems like it could be a subsection of the history section.
I appreciate this. I am a little busy right now but I can get to this in a few days from now. Thanks.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 07:30, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
- I have added some further comments below, will add more later. --FunkMonk (talk) 10:21, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
- "They were thought to be fairly rare and "never numerous in the islands" even before the arrival of Europeans." What is the rationale for thinking they were rare?
- "Many of petroglyphs" Seems of should be removed.
- "by University of California, Berkeley" Do we need to know the university affiliations of one person in the article?
- "or a Spanish loanword from perro" Which means what?
- "but may have some connection to wanuhe" Likewise.
- Zoomorphism could be explained in parenthesis.
- Since bones have been found, there must be some sort of estimate of their size and proportions?
- You know that is a question that I've ask as well especially at the Tahitian Dog article, but the scholarship in that field seems to be lacking. In her paper at the end, Millerstrom mentions that a study of bone morphology is something future scholar needs to look at. I think each of the archaeologists must have recorded measurements but no one has taken the time to study those results and I am not sure how to access those measurements given that I have no idea which papers they published it in plus some are not even in English.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 04:09, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
- Did the islanders recognise the European dogs as being the same kind of animal as those they had once kept themselves?
- Alright, looks fine to me now, so will pass. It is annoying that some info about the dog remains unpublished, but let's just hope someone adds it here once it is. FunkMonk (talk) 20:09, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
