date?

[edit]

article has to include a date, doesn't it? a date of the actual milking activity. --Suleyman Habeeb 10:42, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Stub

[edit]

To prevent war, the stub is on the article's belt. I'm readding the stub status of this article per WP:STUB's quote: To qualify as a stub it must at least define the meaning of the article's title. Often that means three to ten short sentences, but less text may be sufficient to qualify as a stub for articles on narrow topics and complicated topics with more than ten sentences may still be stubs. endquote. The article is (as of now) exactly ten sentences long and it could use some expansion like pictures or more details on the resulting opera to say a few.Feureau 17:05, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Headings

[edit]

Hey @AirshipJungleman29:, thanks for helping improve the article. I'm thrilled that it's gone from Stub to C in such a short time thanks to the work being done on it.

I wonder if removing all the headings was a bit of an overcorrection to whatever issue you perceived in the article. Now it's just one long article without splitting up stand-alone sections. I read through the Oversection page you included in your edit description, and the example there showed sections with two sentences max, while these were full paragraphs. Looking at some of the articles you've got listed on your own talk page, like Mongol_Empire, some of the sections there are also shorter than what was here. I'm not suggesting that how it was is correct, but I'd appreciate some more insight into your thought process, and also wonder if there are better ways it could be structured that don't involve either no headings or too many. For example, would subheadings be more appropriate than full? Etc. Thanks for your help and suggestions! Sevey13 (talk) 17:43, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sevey13, and thanks for your work improving the article. MOS:NOLEAD recommends that if an article is shorter than a well-written lead, it doesn't have to have a separate one. I personally feel that the current four paragraphs is more readable than the previous version. However, my view is just that, and not a particularly strongly-held one; many people might disagree with me and you are perfectly able to revert my edit. Best of luck with the article! (and incidentally, referring to what other articles do is not a very strong argument unless they have gone through the good article or featured article reviewing processes) ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 18:46, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
