Improving British Berrichon sheep

It's good enough to publish as a start, but it could use more citations other than to the Society, ideally from serious scholarly books or articles about animal husbandry. Also, if you attend events where such sheep are shown, taking your own photo and uploading it (must be your own photo for copyright reasons) to illustrate the article would be a big help. Nice work!

Hi Synopticus. I noticed your query at MatthewVanitas' talk regarding this article, and have answered there. Haploidavey (talk) 14:03, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again, and thanks for the message at my talk. I shouldn't really try to answer a question that's best aimed at the editor who did the redirect... but I shall do so anyway. My inexpert guess is that the Berrichon is categorised as the same beast on both sides of the channel, and that DEFRA doesn't recognise a distinctively British Berricon. Additionally, WP's policy on naming might apply here; in which case you can always add your material to the redirect's target article. Haploidavey (talk) 14:23, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

PS: Seems to me that the Society is British but "British" is not part of the breed name. It's just a Berricon du Cher that's been bred in Britain. Of course, I might well be wrong. Haploidavey (talk) 14:30, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Double wikilink

Is it okay that Peter Harkness has a wikilink for Hoylake in both the infobox and the in the text of the article? I'm not sure what is standard practice. Thanks for clarifying.Trilotat (talk) 23:47, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Model aircraft

I rolled back your recent edits to Model aircraft since they're inappropriate in the article lede. Please consider adding new sections to the article itself. -- Jmc (talk) 19:40, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for April 18

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Lt Col A.N.Lee, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Edward, Prince of Wales and Western Front. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
