Copyvio

The welsh spriner spaniel article has been dubbed copyvio so i took the liberty of re-creating the article using the old info and a bit more on the welsh springer spaniel temp page here as instructed on the copyvio tag. Tekana (O.o) Talk 09:40, 27 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Cool. I did a light copyedit--didn't need much--and added some links, which I didn't double-check and am now rushing off for a morning of agility training. Elf | Talk 16:36, 27 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

New Pics Needed

Just one picture?It could at least be a good one.3 is understandable,2 is pushing it,but one?-Pitiful.§70.165.71.229 01:11, 6 February 2007 (UTC)§[reply]

See commons:Welsh Springer Spaniel for the only remaining alternative. BTW whats wrong with the current image? /Lokal _Profil 01:13, 7 February 2007 (UTC) (Admittedly biased)[reply]

Current edits

Apologies for the frequent editing of this article over the next few days, trying to bring it up to GA standard in line with the English Springer Spaniel article. Miyagawa (talk) 23:50, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're doing a good job. Don't apologise. --Simple Bob (talk) 07:41, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well I think I'm pretty much done. Let me know if there's any errors or gaping holes, and I'll nominate this one for a GA in a couple of days if not. :) Miyagawa (talk) 10:37, 27 February 2010 (UTC) Figured on second thought, might as well nominate it now and fix any arising issues en route to a GA evaluation. Miyagawa (talk) 10:49, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just had to adjust the images a little as I read on the GA criteria that text shouldn't be sandwiched between two images. Moved an image from history to health, which actually allows for a good comparison between the modern breed and the dogs of 1915.Miyagawa (talk) 09:50, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Spaniels

I will ask the people who is responsible about checking information in this issue (Spaniels) to check up about some info for Welsh springer and Clumber and Field spaniels. I advice to contact the president for the bread in question

If there was a type called land-spaniel in relaition to Welsh springer - most people with Welsh spaniels will be supprised as the breed first was acnolligest 1902 with a lot af problem from the English Spaniels. Clumber was the result of speciel breeding af a spaniel type to be heavy enough and strong enough to go thro heavy area. The Weksh Cocker was not essuísting as a seperate breed, bur only a way to seperate bigger dogs from smaller. If the dog was under avarage sice - it was a cocker type, ore sles it was a springer.

King Who (welsh-king) is known to say thei: "take care of our red and white spaniels - it dosn´t say that this is the original ansister for the Welsh Springer, but it was registret that a breader back in approcimate 1850 was able to shoe a large amount of dogs very alike and to reach such many dogs clearly alike will demand a continue breeding in same pool for at least 1oo yers to have so many dogs wery alike in look. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.181.49.18 (talk) 02:30, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So what exactly is the point that you are trying to make with regards to the article? --Simple Bob^{a.k.a. The Spaminator} (Talk) 08:44, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
