| :::I saw the original posting--I do keep a watch on the Birds Project talk page. I just haven't had time to look at the photos beyond a cursory look. It can be just as hard to identify the breed of a domesticated pigeon from a picture as it is to identify the species of any other bird but I'm sure that either Sting or I will get a good look at them and see if there's anything we can use.

| == Infoboxes == | |||
| Would you like me to put an infobox on every pigeon page that has an image, such as the infobox on the page for "Jacobin (pigeon)"? For most it would mean putting the page heading and the image in the infobox. At least they would have infoboxes and so details can be added later. ] (]) 15:06, 9 December 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :The only concern I would have about that is the distinction between breeds of domesticated pigeons and other species of pigeons. For example, it wouldn't be appropriate to put the Domesticated Pigeon Breeds infobox on a page like ] because that's not a breed of domesticated pigeon. I think you could simply follow links from the ] article and you shouldn't go astray. And this would be a big help. I'd like to hear ]'s thoughts on this as well because I think Sting has quite a bit more time invested in the domesticated pigeons articles on WP than I do.--] (]) 15:54, 9 December 2008 (UTC) | |||

Writing about breeds
After two new-ish editors ended up at WP:ANI in the same week for breeds-related disruptive editing (and one topic-ban was issued), I've expanded a bullet-point list of advice for them into an essay: Misplaced Pages:Writing about breeds.
It provides a crash course in how to write about breeds the Misplaced Pages way. It's mostly for new editors, but might be of use to some more experienced ones who have not written about breeds before or thought much about how our WP:P&G apply to the topic area. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 07:52, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
Capitalization of names of standardized breeds
FYI – Pointer to relevant discussion elsewhere.
Please see Misplaced Pages:Village pump (policy)#RfC on capitalization of the names of standardized breeds.
This is a neutral RfC on a question left unanswered by MOS:LIFE (on purpose in 2012–2014, pending "later discussion"). It is now later, and lack of resolution of the question has held up MOS:ORGANISMS in draft proposal state for 6 years. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 22:03, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
First annual Tree of Life Decemberween contest
After all the fun with the Spooky Species Contest last month, there's a new contest for the (Northern hemisphere's) Winter holidays at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Tree of Life/Contest. It's not just Christmas, but anything festive from December-ish. Feel free to add some ideas to the Festive taxa list and enter early and often. --Nessie (talk) 18:26, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
Merge Domestic Pigeon and Feral Pigeon
As i have talked about in their respective pages, i feel like feral pigeon has many bits of information that should be in the wild pigeon page (rock dove) as the domesticated birds still share many of their wild behaviors. Furthermore, as feral pigeons are merely escaped/abandoned performers, i suggest splitting the content on the feral page and moving some sections to the rock dove page, and some of it to the domestic pigeon page, and redirecting the feral page to the domestic page. Alternatively, the feral pigeon page should be altered to the street dog or street cat standards. Anthropophoca (talk) 13:55, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
