I have reviewed this article according to the GA criteria and have unfortunately decided to fail this article. The article, although very comprehensive, needs more referencing. None of the information has inline citations, which should be added after any statement that a reader may question about its verifiability. There are plenty of images in the first half of the article, but there are only two for the rest of the article, so maybe consider spacing some of them out a bit. I know that some of the images correspond with the specific event, but they should also be reduced a little in size. The article is also very long, maybe consider extending parts of the articles off into another article and just have a short summary of the section left on this article. Consider getting a peer review for other editors to take a look over the article and see if there are other recommendations that they may have to improve it. Please do consider renominating again once you have addressed these issues. If you believe this review is in error, see Wikipedia:Good article review. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. -- Nehrams2020 00:07, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
User:Alvis added "citation needed" notes to 2 places in the article, and I'm not quite sure how to fix them:
User:snowmman Might be useful to add info on typical "qualifying rate" (percentage of teams that run clean) and typical time differences between placements. I guess that varies a lot. But note that judges design courses to match skill of expected teams, such that "clean runs" average around 50% in the long run? agree/disagree? so it's not just a matter of "who's got the fastest dog". Dogs that always run clean, tend to not be so fast. So the combination of judges designing for a desired <100% clean run rate, and fast typically meaning a larger likelihood of not clean...you get the unpredictablity. If it was predictable, it wouldn't be fun. So there is always a chance you can win, not just run clean. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.74.213.62 ( talk) 04:59, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Does the "Agility in Nintendogs" section really belong here? It just seems so trivial. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.151.39.252 ( talk) 09:24, August 26, 2007 (UTC)
I have proposed to split this article because it has become large and ungainly. I was trying to find some way to split of the "agility in [name of country]" sections, but couldn't think of any way to neatly unify them. Any objections or suggestions? -- Pharaoh Hound (talk) (The Game) 12:39, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

This article has a TON of vandalism. It should be reverted to the last edit by D'ohBot to get rid of it all.
This article is a mess. I cleaned up here and there and added references until I ran out of time to work on this. I propose changing the Agility Worldwide section to Sanctioning Bodies, and outlining on that page the different organizations which sanction agility around the world (right now there are only two). IMO that would make more sense and could be better organized than the page is now. As an idea, one could make a table of the different governing bodies and highlight major rule differences between them (such as jump heights, use of obstacles, etc). Finally, there are a lot of pictures on this page compared to the text those pictures are related to. Furiizaa ( talk) 06:31, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
Did some more work, it's still pretty messy. The obstacle section should probably have its own page. There are a lot of pictures; I hope people aren't just coming along and putting pictures of their own dogs on here for the hell of it. Furiizaa ( talk) 06:31, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
I've kept it at C because it still needs more references -- there are many unsupported statements that could be questioned. – anna 08:22, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
How do others feel about including a video clip in place of one of the many photos? There are several already on Commons (I'm sure there are some on Flickr as well, but I haven't checked there yet). – anna 07:41, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

It has been requested that this list be converted to footnotes and footnotes applied to the end of each equipment paragraph for all of the organizations. In this case, leaving the list as is makes much more sense to me, in terms of what people will be looking for and to reduce frustration (if I saw footnotes on all of the paragraphs, I'd expect the footnotes to be to different places for each paragraph, but no, they'd all be to the same places for all the paragraphs).

I have started preparing the Geography of Dog agility article for merging, adding sources where possible and deleting everything else. Could more experienced users suggest how to move the relevant information from that article here? All in section under the same name, or maybe several separate sections on Titles, National Championships and International Events? What would be the best option? -- LoraxJr 11:38, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
Hello LoraxJr, apologies for my tardiness I haven’t been very active on Wikipedia over Christmas. For future reference WP:Merging#How to merge gives a comprehensive explanation of the process of performing a merger. I have had a look at what you have merged, still it is pretty poorly sourced and may require future work. Regards, Cavalryman ( talk) 19:48, 27 December 2020 (UTC).
