Health Issues[edit]

If anyone can find any sources on health with regards to the Blue Picardy then please let me know. I've literally only been able to find two sources and those only had one line each. Miyagawa (talk) 19:43, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:Blue Picardy Spaniel/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: Axl ¤ [Talk] 21:56, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am in the process of reviewing this "Good article" candidacy. Axl ¤ [Talk] 21:56, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As well as the GA criteria, I am also comparing the article with similar ones. Axl ¤ [Talk] 22:49, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Cavalier King Charles Spaniel" & "English Cocker Spaniel" have "History" sections towards the end of the articles. "Labrador Retriever" & "German Shepherd Dog" have "History" at the start. Shouldn't this be standardized? Axl ¤ [Talk] 22:55, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The details on the recommended article structure for dog breeds is located at: Wikipedia:WikiProject Dogs/Dog breeds task force#Recommended article structure. Miyagawa (talk) 23:11, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, it's a guideline so that's fine. Axl ¤ [Talk] 23:14, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The "Health" section is too brief. Axl ¤ [Talk] 23:02, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This will be the main issue with this article as there simply isn't that much information available. The breed is recognised by neither the UK Kennel Club nor the American Kennel Club so there just hasn't been any research made. Miyagawa (talk) 23:34, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

From "Appearance", paragraph 2: "Its chest is of medium depth with well sprung ribs that descend down to the same level as the elbows." What is the meaning of "medium depth" in this context? Axl ¤ [Talk] 23:12, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just re-edited that line, on double checking it I found that I had managed to copy edit the information from the Sarah's Dogs website back to much nearer the original line that was stated on the breed standard. Removed well sprung as that sort of thing is more aspirational in the standard that a common description of the breed. As for the medium depth, it literally means the circumference of the chest cavity of the dog compared to the size of the dog. Miyagawa (talk) 23:34, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for fixing that. Axl ¤ [Talk] 23:36, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Should the word "spaniel" (unqualified) be capitalized? The lead has lowercase while the "History" section has uppercase. Axl ¤ [Talk] 23:35, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just checked Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Animals, plants, and other organisms and it should be capitalised. Will go correct this now. Miyagawa (talk) 23:38, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Summary[edit]

This article is nicely written. I have made a few adjustments to grammar & syntax. The text is accurate and well-referenced. It is neutral, stable and appropriately illustrated.

However I am concerned by the relative lack of detailed information. It does not compare favourably with the analogous articles that I mentioned above. On the other hand, our guideline states "This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles; it allows short articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail."

The article (as it stands) just about makes it to this minimum standard. Therefore I am awarding "GA" status. Nonetheless, I hope that editors, especially Miyagawa who has already worked hard on this article, continue to increase and improve the content. Axl ¤ [Talk] 16:23, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Blue Picardy Spaniel/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

A good start. All sections will benefit from expansion. Care, history and health sections should be added. More images would be helpful. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) (The Game) 22:58, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article was never up to GA standards, multiple unreliable sources were used which I've now removed (or replaced in appearance section). Traumnovelle (talk) 22:50, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
