Please Note: I like to see conversation all in one place, so will usually respond here.
And I HATE beligerant junk on my page so I delete it. Yeah, I know, people might think I'm trying to hide negative comments but I don't care what people think. I'll reply and leave it for a while and when I get tired of the negative vibes I remove it.
Fortunately, most people leave nice stuff <VBG>
I also remove old stuff just because.
Way too long and I'm getting messages about it. Gone. Feel free to start again.
But PLEASE add notes to the BOTTOM of the list! Thanks.
Well, haven't been as active here as often, and see there are some changes at WP. Hmm...maybe I'll research some bots that clean pages and I love some of those wikiuser info boxes...Quill 04:40, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Reverting
Just a heads up--reverting the Ratonero Bodeguero Andaluz page because the photo didn't look good also reverted all the perfectly fine other edits made at the same time. Tsk tsk! Also since the photo is mislabeled apparently I think I'll go ahead and put a note to that effect on the photo; that'll help (i hope) in the future. Elf | Talk 21:07, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, I was coming to that. I didn't know how to take out the image so I just reverted and was going to put back the cats. You're too fast for me Elf.Quill 21:11, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
OK, sorry, I just saw that your talk page was blank and had to rush to put something on it.
OK, not really. Sorry I didn't think to wait to see what would happen next; when it's in front of me I just fix it and sometimes I'm too quick about that. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, to get rid of the image you just remove the image name from where it says "image". :-) Elf | Talk 22:52, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
- Hardy har har. You can defile the blank canvas of my talk page anytime. I have no objection to your jumping in and fixing stuff--just didn't want you to think I was a complete idiot! Quill 21:51, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

I can't believe I did that! I'm just about dying of laughter over here after reading your edit summary. Elf | Talk 23:03, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Suggestion to Merge!
- Hello
Been a while, it has all been quiet on the western front. I fully appreciate Wikipedia's position regarding the proposed merge of the Koolie and Coolie page. You know the history of these two factions, there were more but they have closed up shop. The arguments that the Coolie group first presented for them still exist. 1. The Koolie is bred from pound dogs, untrue, there have been one recorded case by one individual breeder back in 2000 when the gene pool was small and breeders few. 2. The Koolie name, SA breeders put it in simple terms, they don’t write it, they just say it. The name as it has been explained in the Koolie section, has been totally accepted by registered Koolie breeders and the ANKC, simply for legal functions. The Koolie club in no way dictates to the general public or their members as to how the word should be spelt. 3. The American group do see their breed as an unrelated breed to the Koolie, while we continue to follow leads and learn more about the present and past of the Koolie in the only place you can learn more, in Australia. So please consider as I’m sure you are, of letting this slide for a while yet, the resulting information will be worthy of the standard the Wikipedia has set.Tjukurpa 23:57, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
I noted that you were one of the founding members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Cat breeds. That project has seemed to go dormant lately, although my recent joining has reactivated it. I was wondering if you would think it might be a good idea to merge the two projects together. I acknowledge that the scope of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Cats is a lot broader than that of the cat breeds project, but it does at least seem to have gotten a fair amount of new members lately. Also, given its breadth, it could easily take on the duties of the Cat breeds project now that it has become dormant. I would be very interested in hearing from you on either project page whether you think the two projects should merge or not. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 19:13, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- I think people just burn out over fighting with idiots. But I'll take a look. Quill 05:31, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not sure who the "idiots" you're referring to there are. Anyway, I hope I don't prove myself to number among them. Anyway, Here is a copy of the first newsletter of the Cats WikiProject, mentioning the proposed merger. I'm sending it out to all of the members of the Cat Breeds Project so that they can know a little about the group with which there is an existing merger proposal. We would welcome any and all comments about the project, and the newsletter, from members of both groups. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 16:23, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Long time--
Hey, howtheheckareya? Elf | Talk 00:24, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
- Hola, Chica! I was just thinking it was about time I dropped you a line. I haven't been active in ages--other projects, need to earn a living, family life, blah, blah--but things are good!
- How 'bout you--you back??
No way! Need to earn a living, dog life, blah, blah--but I'm here, looking things up, all the time, and way too often there are edits on a page I'm reading that just CRY OUT to be edited and then I have to log in, and, well, we know where that goes. I'm gearing up for another stab at the USDAA agility national championships at the beginning of November, and then a couple months off wherein I *vow* I'll retrain those contact obstacles that are such a problem... Sure... in my copious spare time. Elf | Talk 01:42, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
You sure Danielle Spencer (actress) is notable?
I was just wondering, because I was tempted to {{prod}}
it (despite my slight inclusionist leanings). I only see one source, and that's IMDb.
(P.S. Can you drop a note on my talk page alerting me if/when you respond? Thanks again)
- Ch* Almighty! Why on earth would you consider deleting an actress who played an iconic character from a hit "black" show? Notable? Compared to what, mon ami, Quark (Star Trek)? Okay, scratch Quark, I rather like him! Consider Guy Carpenter, any of about 5 billion Harry Potter universe articles, every friggin' soap opera character ever known, every 15 minute of fame Hollywood starlet...really, must I go on?? :) Quill 00:27, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Koolie merge mistake
Hi, I am not here to create problems but rather just to seek advice. I have not been regularly monitoring the Koolie page as I travel around Australia, collecting Koolie DNA, registering and recording them for the Koolie Club of Australia. I was quite disturb by the changes when I looked in tonight and hope you can help me. Wikipedia contacted me for the original information on the koolie and I was happy to contribute all information on the breed that was available at the time, I see very little if any has survived.
There is no mention of the original parent group nor do their continued efforts regarding the koolie breed. I apologies for not logging in but it seems that my registered name is no longer valid nor my password. I am Kerrie Challenger of the Koolie Club of Australia, known as Tjukurpa. My email is tjukurpa@pacific.net.au if any one wishes to confirm my identity.
This merge is a mistake and with the new breed Specifity test provided by Genetic Service Australia to the Koolie Club of Australia members new information will challenge everything that has been displayed. Proof of what is a true Koolie is now possible.
We have never argued the there were two breeds but have maintained that the German Coolie (which for the records is historically recorded as a German Collie) and the Australian Koolie are one breed. As explained in the original article on the Australian Koolie, an Australian wide consensus of the name Australian Koolie was adopted for the general legal functions of the parent club,(we do not dictate to people how to spell it.) We suggested that a second page be created for the German Coolie to stop vandalism and augments on the original information, we were not conceding that there were 2 breeds, we just wanted to get them off that page. When the merge was suggested we strongly advocated against it as their information was base on fabrications and misinformation, contribute by breeders for profit and puppy farmers.(notice I say this to you not blurb it all over in public.) as is there preference.
Once all testing has been completed by the Koolie club of Australia the test will be offered to the other groups, it has already been offered to their Coolie group and turned down, (now if they were so honest why turn down the opportunity to prove their case).
I know you can think this is a lot of bull, but Wikipedia is a strong face out there known for doing your best to present the facts. Just consider what I have said, all information on the net comes from me the original author, even most of that which comes through the club, even the stuff the German Coolie group try to sprout is from my original research and collecting.
I hope you can assist me and not just remove this as someone trying to create problems, I am very seriously trying to avoid them.

- Hi Kerrie, of course I know who you are.
- I've not been keeping up lately; just too darned busy and too darned tired of the arguments.
- I don't know how much (if any) of this has been resolved, but I will read up on it this week if I can and do my best to help sort things out, to the extent that it is sortable.
- I understand that you are frustrated and I also understand that it discouraging to see all one's work undone.
- My only interest at Project Dogs has been to build a reliable, accurate, unbiased information source.

Breed standards
G'day Quill. I don't know if you've been watching the Breed standards page or not, but I have proposed a more general use of the page so that all domesticated animal breed pages can reference it, not just dog pages. This is necessary as all articles on domesticated animal breeds need to refer to a breed standard. I've proposed that the article pertaining directly to the breed standards for dogs be changed to Breed standard (Dogs). Sting_au | Talk 22:36, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Sting_au. No, I haven't been visiting very much, but I'll certainly take a look. Just on the surface of it, what you are proposing sounds right to me. Quill (talk) 21:59, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Native American Indian Dog
I've just noticed this page up at AfD. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Native American Indian Dog. I figured it might be a good idea for some of the Dog breed editors to take a look. The article looks pretty spammy at present, but if a legitimate breed might warrant a cleanup rather than deletion? What do you think? Sting au Buzz Me... 01:43, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
