I seen your edit summary and checked out your statements/questions. My bad about Owen as it was Owego (just above) that is in Woodbury co. , but thanks for the alert as I added Woodbury co. to Owego. BTW I moved the county from the class column to the county column for Boyer and Casino Beach. (minor corrections easy to do, just saying we all make mistakes)
If in the future you run across errors and have the time would you please fix them, although adding to the edit summary at least leaves a good record. I checked out Bradford with the
The Geographic Names Information System (GNIS for short} and seen there are 2 as you stated so I will add that into the list. As an explanation I used the
List of unincorporated communities in Iowa already in Wikipedia as the base but I have found some flaws. The definitive authority to follow is GNIS . I also was glad to read that you had finished with the counties starting with C. To inform you, as I get time, I am working backwards from Z (I know there is no counties starting with Z) and have completed through the T's (Tama). Between you and I there is a county listed for approximately 50% of the Unincorporated Communities.
A non Communities member started a stub for
California Junction, Iowa which I did not anticipate but have designated it as NEW. Just as a reminder - in the future when you add new stubs or improve the classification of an article or make any improvements to the table remember to update any relevent stats at the top of the table. For example I increased the # of unincorporated communities by three today because of the addition of the 2nd Bradford and also a 2nd Pittsburg as I fixed the disambigeous page redirects in the table and I found the Mesquakie Indian Settlement that was not listed. I also increased the # of stubs by one to 135 started because of California Junction. Previously I had increased the stub count by 2 when you had added those two communities before. Just to inform you that I do not plan on changing/fixing the redirects until someone makes an article for that community (or is ready to). One last thing I will try to update the Clayton County template soon, it has been on my to do list (just not a priority) as I communicated with the original template editor and he gave me the how to and why he did not do complete template listings. It is a lot of work and he is not willing to do it so I will on a county by county basis as they are needed.

Here's the latest addition to the religion section of Portal:Contents/Outlines. Wikipedia has rich coverage on this subject. Very interesting, especially from sociological and historical perspectives.
This is a call to all members of the Outline WikiProject and outline aficionados to help refine this outline. It needs annotations, missing topics added, and the entries in the general concepts section placed in more specific sections. It needs your editing skills. Let's turn it into a beehive!
Come join in on the fun and get acquainted with members of the Outline WikiProject.

P.S.: I had no idea this religion was so extensive or that it had so many followers. Hope to see you on the outline!

Hi there,
Just thought I'd better drop you a message regarding my edits at Old Hemp. Apologies for dumping a shed load of edits on your new article, but I think the article has potential at being worked up to a Good Article. I've previously managed to get Old Jock promoted, and am quite happy to work on it. I just figure if I get the article into a pretty good state in the next couple of days, it'll still qualify for a Did You Know as it's within five days of creation. Miyagawa (talk) 23:58, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
![]() | On 22 March 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Old Hemp, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that not only is Old Hemp considered the father of the modern Border Collie, but he originated the working style of herding sheep commonly seen among the breed today? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Hi. When you recently edited Livestock guardian dog, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Predators ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi, CReep,
Brilliant, thank you so much for doing that. I do see what you mean about the references and will have another go at sorting them later. As the setter article is really an overview, it was difficult to try to ensure I wasn't including information which is more readily available within the article for the breed. I will try to add some more bits and pieces to it as I think/find them.
Do you mind if I ask you a question? Do you do a lot of work on dog articles/dog breeds? I have a few queries and don't know where is best to ask.
For instance, I'm sure I read links to breed clubs should not appear as 'external links' on breed pages, yet I've seen quite a number that do - here for instance? Are breed club web sites considered WP:RS? I know self published books should not be cited, yet many 'breed bibles' of long standing were self pub or published by national breed clubs; would any of these be acceptable as WP:RS as it's not always possible to find other decent references?
I'm hoping to spend sometime over the next few months attempting to work on the individual setter breed articles - I feel the Gordon Setter one especially needs work. Someone obviously did a lot on it at one time but it hardly has any sources. The Irish Red and White could, I feel, also benefit greatly by some extra work.
Another question, if an illustration appears in an old book (late 1800, early 1900s) can it be scanned/uploaded to articles, especially if the book is out of copyright?
I apologise if I shouldn't be bothering you with all these questions - I won't be offended if you ignore them!

Morning CReep, I hope you don't mind but I've removed the photo request tag you added to Hungargunn Bear Itn Mind - the Crufts best in show winning Vizsla. I know the owners/handlers so obtained a pic from them and added it to the article this morning (I think I've done it correctly). Well done on trying to get the Collaboration going as well - I'm pretty busy over the next few days but will try to give more help next week! Did you notice I'd re-vamped the Irish Red and White setter article? It looks as if it might get a DYK as well, so I'm really, really chuffed! SagaciousPhil - Chat 10:38, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I've just added List of dog breeds by country to the outline of dogs. I've put it under 'breeds of dog' but I'm not sure if it's the correct place to list it? It's a list that may need some looking at for correction as I think an IP was making some odd alterations to it recently which is when I noticed the list existed!

Hi cReep,
If you get the chance, have a look at Small Munsterlander and Anatolian Shepherd. Both articles seem to be getting some very constructive edits by a couple of fairly new editors. I've tried to help a little bit but thought if between the three of us (me, you and Tikuko) we could keep an eye on them and discreetly help - or at least offer to help as (or when) needed, it would encourage new dog related editors? Maybe leave them to it for a little while to see how they get on at the moment though? What do you guys think? I've posted this on both of your talk pages.
I added an info box to Anatolian Shepherd but info boxes are far more cReep's forte than mine!!

While you are reading or browsing Wikipedia articles, please...
...keep a lookout for outlines embedded in articles.
I've run across a number of these over the years. One example is the Outline of fencing, which used to be part of the fencing article.
If you know about or spot any structured general topics lists in articles, please let me know (on my talk page).
Another thing you might find are articles that are comprised mostly of lists (without "Outline of" or "List of" being in the article's title). If you come across any of these, please report them to me on my talk page. I'd sure like to take a look at them.
Happy hunting.
