Transportation of animals
[edit]... that singing to anxious goats whilst transporting them is recommended?
Created by Seal Boxer (talk). Self nominated at 13:38, 27 June 2013 (UTC).
- There's no article. If there were, and the DYK hook was adequately sourced in the article, I think it would be a keeper, except I'd change the archaic "whilst" to "while" in accordance with style guidelines on both sides of the Atlantic. ~Amatulić (talk) 15:05, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
- The article was at Animal Transportation. I moved it to Animal transportation, and added a bold link to it in the hook. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 19:16, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
There are a few completely unsourced or inadequately sourced paragraphs. The style should certainly be improved. I am not sure if the hook source qualifies as reliable, being self-published. The hook, however, would be excellent. Surtsicna (talk) 12:04, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
- While anecdotal, number 3 in this CNN Travel piece does lend support for the hook. 24.151.116.25 (talk) 23:47, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
There have been significant changes to the article over the past week and a half. Can a reviewer see whether the issues raised by Surtsicna remain while doing a full review of the article as it currently stands, notably the hook sourcing? Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:36, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
- Re the hook - I don't see anything in the article about goats or singing.
- "History" section is only sourced in the first paragraph
- "Seals" section has "citation needed" at the end. — Maile (talk) 21:53, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
- As goats count as livestock, the relevant article would be livestock transportation (which also doesn't contain anything specifically about goats or singing). Also, a side note, Animal transportation is in a move discussion, with current consensus being to move to Transportation of animals and to create a disambig page at the current location.

- Thanks for letting us know about move discussion. If the article does move, please let us know here so we can fix the template. (Please do not attempt to move this template; DYK templates are designed to retain their original name even if the article changes names one or more times.)

- The AfD has closed as keep and I have moved the srticle. I hope now that the article has stabilized, someone can find an appropriate hook. Thanks. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 15:30, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for letting us know; the template is being fixed with this edit; will be waiting for nominator to return from wikibreak and come up with a new hook. (I've struck the old one, as it is unsupported by the article.) BlueMoonset (talk) 17:03, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
- And I've now turned this title into a disambig. Stalwart111 13:37, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
The article moved two and a half weeks ago, and no hook has been proposed. Furthermore, Seal Boxer, the nominator, has not edited on Wikipedia since July 9. Under the circumstances, I think we have to consider the nomination abandoned, and close it. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:20, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
