List of dog breeds

Copied from my talk page GB fan (talk) 00:33, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

I saw you put List of dog breeds up for peer review. I was just wondering what you thought of the idea of linking the individual breed standards to the individual kennel club classifications for each breed? eg:

Breed	Origin	Fédération Cynologique Internationale	American Kennel Club	Australian National Kennel Council	Canadian Kennel Club	The Kennel Club	New Zealand Kennel Club	United Kennel Club	Image
Afghan Hound	Afghanistan	Group 10 Section 01 #228	Hound Group	Group 04 (Hounds)	Group 02 - (Hounds)	Hound	Hound	Sighthound and Pariah

If you like the idea, I am more than willing to help out with the additions of links. Cheers, Keetanii (talk) 02:54, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

I like the idea. We are going to have to ignore a guideline if we do this. WP:EL says that external links "should not normally be used in the body of an article." If we put everyone of those as a reference, we would have an unmanageable number of references at the bottom of the page. I pulled the table into Excel and had it count up the number of citations we would need to properly reference all the cells. There are 501 breeds on the list.

Cells needing referencing

Countries of origin - 501

Extinct - 27

FCI - 328

AKC - 233

ANKC - 179

CKC - 186

KC - 186

NZKC - 194

UKC - 315

That gives us 2149 cells to reference, minus the few that already have references. Some of these would be able to be duplicated but we are still talking over 1500 individual references on this list. I think that is justification enough to use inline external links to the different breed standards. We could probably reference the country of origin column, but that would still be 501 references on the list. GB fan (talk) 16:51, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Yes I see what you mean about WP:EL. I certainly think that the inline external links would be well worth it. Perhaps it would also be a good idea to put a note on the page discussion outlining why the WP:EL wasn't followed to the letter. I get on to putting the references in :) Keetanii (talk) 23:51, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
