This is the page we are creating for the polled dorset. Proper source material and pictures may take a few days to get on here.-- SJRick ( talk) 00:19, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
We have done some editing on the intro to make it fit the good introductory style. Is this good or what should we change to make it better?-- SJRick ( talk) 02:51, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
Wherever you have numerical values it would be worth quoting where that statistic came from. -- MartellRedViper ( talk) 15:52, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
Specify the kind of classification (e.g., scientific, shorthand) that "NCSU 402" is.-- Information-01152001 ( talk) 15:52, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
In my opinion the introduction is too long and is too dense with information that could easily be moved into other sections, such as the NCSU 402 section. But come to think of it I'm unsure whether "NCSU 402" is as informative of a section title as it could be; a suggestion would be to change it to "origins," "history," or something like that. -- Katerwaul ( talk) 15:56, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
Spruce up the References Section. Write "Monument dedicated to sheep, scientists." | The Magazine of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences instead of only listing the URL. -- Information-01152001 ( talk) 15:57, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
Consider adding a table of breed statistics -- MartellRedViper ( talk) 16:04, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
If the picture ends up having to be removed, maybe there are polled dorsets at NCSU's Vet School that you can take a picture of. -- Katerwaul ( talk) 16:07, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
Seems like this article is an Orphan, I vaguely recall you guys saying something about making a main article a sub article to this one? But I think one thing you could do is add this to the list of sheep breeds: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sheep_breeds#P -- MangoDango ( talk) 16:44, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
The "Polled versus Horned Dorsets" section seems out of place and rather short. It might work better if it were incorporated into another section or significantly expanded on. The lead is too long and the "History" section is too short. Moving the information around the article and expanding the "History" section would help the coverage of the article to be broad and deep enough.-- Jeflicki ( talk) 18:20, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
