Cats of dogs by breed and colour

edit

I see you added some categories that sort dogs by both breed and colour (such as Category:Great Dane (brindle) and its buddies). This should not be done: for most purposes, the distinction between a blue Dane and a black one is meaningless as is, genetics-wise, the difference between a fawn Dane and a fawn Boxer. Now, there are two exceptions.

1) Non-standard and/or contested colours -- these are a meaningful distinction since it helps separate standard conforming dogs from those that are not. It's also useful for colour genetics in terms of crop-outs and possible yet non-admissible genotypes when combining admissible genotypes. Additionally, in some cases a non-standard coat hints of non-pure breeding.

2) Recessive black. Since German Shepherd Dog does not have the gene for dominant black, all black GSDs must be recessive black. Only a few other breeds (all much rarer) have the same situation. It's practically our only source of guaranteed recessive blacks until we get photos of tested dogs.

Bottom line: please do not create more dogs by breed and colour cats unless it's a case of non-standard colours or guaranteed recessive blacks. I'm deleting the Great Dane cats and moving their contents back to their original cats, in case you know more such cats feel free to tip me off. --Pitke (talk) 23:11, 5 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Oh, before I forget. 3) Recessive yellow in breeds where the gene for sable does not exist (for example, the Labrador Retriever). Sable can be told conclusively (any eumelanin on the yellow dog -> sable) but recessive yellow cannot. Even if a dog has cream whiskers on the other side of his head, the other side can have black ones! So it's risky to say, especially from just a photo, if a yellow dog with seemingly no eumelanin is a recessive yellow or not. In the end, it's a similar situation to the recessive/dominant black thing. --Pitke (talk) 23:42, 5 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hello! Thank you for your interest in my photos! I think I solved it by adding pictures to the specific category! I greet you! --Nicholas Gemini (talk) 01:32, 12 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Extra, specific categories

edit

Thank you for adding all those categories of the specific dogs, in the Category:World Dog Show Amsterdam 2018! That wasn't my speciality when I uploaded them :-) Ymnes (talk) 06:21, 30 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Glad that my modifications have helped! :) My pleasure, I have always liked recognizing breeds and I've tried to develop recognition skills further during the last 15 years. Canarian (talk) 22:26, 30 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

If you created this category, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for discussion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution.

We need your feedback!

edit

Hello. Apologies if this message is not in your native language: please feel free to respond in the language of your choice. Thank you!

I am writing to you because we are looking for feedback for a new Wikimedia Foundation project, Structured Data Across Wikimedia (SDAW). SDAW is a grant-funded programme that will explore ways to structure content on wikitext pages in a way that will be machine-recognizable and -relatable, in order to make reading, editing, and searching easier and more accessible across projects and on the Internet. We are now focusing on designing and building image suggestion features for experienced users.

We have some questions to ask you about your experience with uploading images here on Wikimedia Commons and then adding them to Wikipedia. You can answer these questions on a specific feedback page on Mediawiki, where we will gather feedback. As I said, these questions are in English, but your answers do not need to be in English! You can also answer in your own language, if you feel more comfortable.

Once the collecting of feedback will be over, we will sum it up and share with you a summary, along with updated mocks that will incorporate your inputs.

Also, if you want to keep in touch with us or you want to know more about the project, you can subscribe to our newsletter.

Hope to hear from you soon! -- Sannita (WMF) (talk to me!) 09:56, 2 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
