What is a historical dog ? Dogs that are no more and moved into history ? How are George Bush's dogs "historical" dogs ? Verizon ringtones Jay/Jay 06:52, 14 Nov 2003

:It's noticeable that most of the dogs on this list are simply the pets of various American presidents. I think we could do better. Squirting 101 Deb/Deb 21:21, 27 Nov 2003

Please have a look at the title-change discussion at Nextel ringtones Talk:List_of_historical_animals#Historical or Historic ?. Not many seem to have that page in their watchlist. Mr Biggz Jay/Jay 21:08, 14 Jan 2004

I think I like the subdivisions that were just created. I'm going to add "Famous" to the subheads, though, because there's a distinction between famous dogs of presidents and merely dogs that presidents owned. E.g., Checkers is way for sure howzah famous. And lots of people have heard of Roosevelt's Fala (I don't know why, that was a long time ago). But it seems useful to keep this list distinguished from Polyphonic ringtones List of U.S. Presidential pets which doesn't imply that all of the animals on that list are famous.

:I saw that discussion and I'm not sure that I agree with it unless we replace the adjective with another one, such as "List of famous dogs". "List of dogs" is just wayyyy too general, and loses focus. Screaming O Elf/Elf / Cingular Ringtones User talk:Elf/Talk 14:52, 12 Mar 2004

::quarter statements Lists_(stand-alone_lists)#Naming_conventions says no adjectives like "famous", "noted", "important", etc are to be used. The page also uses this page as an example citing the word "historic", but I plan to remove that and thats what this discussion is about. passports stolen Jay/Jay 15:37, 12 Mar 2004

:::It also says "Lists that are too general or too broad in scope have little value." So once this becomes "list of dogs", what's to stop it from containing fictional dogs, mythical dogs, dog names that are popular but don't apply to any particular dog, and so on? Somehow we need to distinguish this as *real* dogs with some fame to them. I guess we could put a paragraph at the top that says "this is a list of dogs who actually existed and are well-known for some reason" but it seems that the title should reflect that as well, no? If there's a to galvanize list of fictional dogs, seems there ought to be its counterpart. I could ake this discussion back over to that list if you think I really ought to lawyer steven Elf/Elf / necessarily all User talk:Elf/Talk 16:14, 12 Mar 2004

::::It is good that you're open to this discussion. Firstly, to clarify, I'm ok with the while beating list of fictional dogs list because its a specific category, and I'm not talking of merging that with this page. Secondly I'm ok with not one, but plenty of counterparts for kate keller list of fictional dogs. My point of discussion is that "historical" is not a valid category. "mythical dogs", "dog names that are popular but don't apply to any particular dog" are ok. Please continue this discussion at outdoor cooking Talk:List of fictional animals if applicable. smile endures Jay/Jay 16:42, 12 Mar 2004

:::::No, no, I want an edit war and then get a bunch of people pissed off! ... Oh, all right, I'll go quietly to the other discussion. And I thought I was just quietly hiding in the random-dog-pages area where no one else ever went so I didn't *have* to discuss anything. ;-) ... lakes that Elf/Elf / democrat clinton User talk:Elf/Talk 16:45, 12 Mar 2004

:Cool! Looks pretty good. I'm not familiar with "filaria", though; possible there's another spelling? condo people Elf/Elf / continued she User talk:Elf/Talk 17:49, 6 Jul 2004
::Well, filaria is a word in my English dictionary, and it's what my J-E dictionary gave for the word used in the source. On closer reading, "filaria" is the name of the parasite, and "filariasis" is the name of the affliction with same. There may be a more colloquial term, but I haven't found it. dead dozens Adamrice/adamrice 19:15, 6 Jul 2004
