Untitled[edit]

Future plans include expanding the appearnce section and adding sections about breed variety, breed temperament, and breed living needs Trio32 (talk) 00:13, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This page still needs pictures, so if you have any pictures of an English Spot you are willing to share, please help. I'm also looking for feed back on what else should be included on this page, so if you have any ideas, please let me know. Trio32 (talk) 22:17, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This page still needs pictures and feedback on what else to include. I have added categories, so that problem should be fixed. Trio32 (talk) 20:55, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Feedback[edit]

I've left comments in the Talk banner above, but I was wondering if the image used really belongs to Trio32, or if it was taken off an organization's website. If the latter, than it needs to be moved to Wikipedia's image hosting, the copyright changed, and a fair-use rationale added - if otherwise, i apologize, but there are many people who mistakenly upload images they've found as public domain. -ΖαππερΝαππερ ^Babel_Alexandria 17:00, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

*Reference relation to English Butterfly - any number of organizations are sure to have written an article on this theory.

Remove quote in lead as unencyclopedic, there are thousands of random opinions on the internet about breeds of pets, barring a quote from someone notable for having English Spots, it's not a good idea to include quoted descriptions (however true they may be).
History section is interesting, informative, and encyclopedic - again, find a ref for "is thought to have come from the English Butterfly."
In Description you mention "herringbone" and "hearingbone" is this a typo or are these intentionally two different things? It would be helpful to find/create a free image that labels key points on a rabbit that are used in form and marking judgement (this image can also be used in other breed articles, see Image:Anatomy dog.png)
The Lifestyle section, i assume, is not really specific to English Spots (i.e. all/most rabbits need daily excercise, are crepescular and nocturnal). As such it's completely unneeded in this article.
Likewise, the second paragraph of the Breeding section should be removed, it is not only unspecific to English Spots, but it's instructional. The first paragraph also seems unspecific to this breed (gestation, litter size, and the ease of fostering young are generally the same for the whole species, am i wrong?), except for the part about "charlies," and litter %, which is mildly useful. If those are really the only sentences that can be kept, then they should be reworked into Description.
minor tweak it might be nice to have the lead image put into some kind of infobox, but the other problems should be addressed first.

Most external links dead[edit]

Maybe they can be found in the wayback machine? --RichardAlexanderHall (talk) 18:45, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
