Too many images

There are just too many image on this page. Some of which I feel are unencyclopedic and/or poor quality and/or redundant of each other. I am removing this one, and this one. The only reason that I'm keeping this one is because it shows the breed in what looks like a show coat (though if any better photos of Poms in show coats are found I will remove it). --Pharaoh Hound 18:18, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

agreed.....too many photos. I am a pomeranian exhibitor and we need something better. I will upload a photo of one of the dogs which I show sometime. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.57.100.58 (talk • contribs) .

celebs

I removed the celebs who own pomeranians section - the list was getting too long, and these items belong on the celeb's article - not the dog article - Trysha ^(talk) 03:51, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The list of Pom appearences in general is getting out of control. I almost want to mention the yapping little Pomeranian that Ahhnold walks by in The Terminator on his way to kill a Sarah Connor. Should we trim this list back to dogs that were somehow important to the plot? CSZero 17:50, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pomerania

R9tgokunks has re-made changes he had made earlier to this article, stressing Pomerania as a lost German province. While this appears to have a strong POV and his talk page shows that he is clearly (excessively even) Pro-German, given the history of the breed and when the name would've originated (When Pomerania was part of Prussia/Germany), are his edits really unwarranted? Note this article is part of WikiProject Germany, not Poland... CSZero 01:24, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not an expert in this area, but the following statement in the history portion does not make sense to me, "but they were still 2 pounds or more when they reached England." Perhaps someone can correct the size? ascholer

Too many adult pomeranians

I took off one of the adult pomeranian because there are no puppies on this page. --X.claire 00:56, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ridiculous picture re-added

71.110.249.100 put the picture removed several months ago by Pharaoh Hound back on the page. As a terrible (blurry) picture of not the greatest pom, it serves no purpose on the page. If nobody disagrees, I would be more than glad to remove it once again.....any opinions?Tingalex 23:14, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

3 days, no responses...removed yet again. Tingalex 19:59, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Art and Media

I removed this section because, at an encyclopedic level, almost none of these dogs are central to the plot, and even fewer of them are important as Pomeranians versus another dog. Wikipedia has a policy against collection of facts, see Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. Therefore, keeping this section trimmed, readable, and relevant is becomming impossible. In addition, the number of times I've had to revert the censorship of the Big Lebowski quote is getting quite tiresome. Refer to the Not Censored clause in my above link. I know this article draws in a lot of kids looking for a cute cuddly dog, but we shouldn't Bowlderize. If you disagree, please feel free to add it back in, but can it be trimmed to something a bit more relevant instead of just a stream of pomeranian tails flashing onscreen?
