Peer Review

The subject of your article is very interesting, I have never thought about the origin of domesticated cats and how extensive it dates back. I recommend adding titles for each section to help provide direction for the reader prior to diving into the section. I recommend revising some of your sentences to help improve flow, and I noticed your subject and verb tense is not consistent. You need to maintain the same tense through each sentence as well as through each section. This will make it easier to read and greatly improve the overall flow of the article. For your citations you can utilize wikipedia's program that manually cites an article for you and formats it. Also, try to relate to the articles you are using when referencing a specific study.

Domestication doubts

I found this article from a few years ago comparing studies about whether cats have been fully domesticated: https://www.newyorker.com/tech/annals-of-technology/are-cats-domesticated (October 23, 2015) Mapsax (talk) 01:06, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"History of cats" listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect History of cats and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 February 6#History of cats until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Evolution of the domesticated cat → Domestication of cats – This title makes more sense, as similar articles (domestication of the horse, domestication of the dog, domestication of the Syrian hamster, etc.) are titled this way.

Comment Looks like "domestication of the dog" is a redirect to Origin of the domestic dog. There is also Evolution of domestic goats and History of the domestic sheep. I'm not sure commonality applies here. See also Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 February 15#History of cats. PaleAqua (talk) 18:53, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Fair enough. Despite this, I still stand by my original suggestion, and think moving the others might be best as well. It's less wordy and it's more clear as to what the article is actually about. --An anonymous username, not my real name (talk) 19:13, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've bundled this into a proposal to make all these articles consistent at Talk:Origin_of_the_domestic_dog#Requested_move_24_March_2022, so procedurally closing this. – Joe (talk) 07:56, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
