[edit] G'day!
G'day there, Abbott75, and welcome to Wikipedia! Good authors are always welcome on the project, and I hope you like the place and decide to stick around!
Sometimes new editors find it useful to review our "five pillars", all you need to know about editing in "wiki markup", or this detailed tutorial. The stuff we all really need to know is best summed up here: write from a neutral point of view, play nice with others, and don't let the rules get you down. If you have any questions or need any help, my talkpage is always open for business, or you can see Wikipedia:Newcomers help page. Here's a tip to start you off: if you type four tildes (~~~~) at the end of any messages you leave on talkpages (like this one) Wikipedia will automatically insert your name and the current date and time after your message. Cool, eh?
By the way, I'm going to take a punt in the dark and say you're Australian. If so, excellent! Aussies make good Wikipedians (yes, oh yes, we do). You may be interested in Wikipedia:Australian Wikipedians' notice board, where Australian Wikipedians occasionally meet to try to help coordinate our efforts. Again, welcome to the project, and happy editing! fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 15:03, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of breeds of cattle
Hello Abbott75,
I'm french, so excuse my bad english. I've looked your work on list of breeds of cattle. I'm trying to look for all european breeds. You can see my work in the article / other languages / français. Good luck for your work. If you need any informations about french breeds, ask for me. Try to use simple words, it's better if you want my understanding. I'm not logged in in english. If you want to speak me, make it on french wiki. Friendly, PANDA 81.15:43, 7 June 2007 (UTC)~
- Hi Abbott,
I can give you some information about cattle "aure et St Girons". This catlle come from south of France, in ce middle part of Pyrénées. It cames from antics breeds neighbours of Bos taurus primigenius. It was two ancient populations: St Girons who was a dairy breed. The milk was used to elaborate french cheese "fourme de bethmale". The second breed, Aure valley was known by strongs oxen whitch were used in mountains to bring down trees. Since a few years, the two breeds made one.
The cow is a good mother. She gives one calf by year during more than 15 years. She's able to spend 5 months in mountain during summer. She's able to walk in mountain area looking for his food. The cow gives 3000 kg of milk. A park near Bordeaux, use this cattle to clean a humid area where no other cow can live whitout legs diseases. This breed has only 179 cows ans 19 bulls because breeders prefer cattles more efficient. (holstein, blonde d'Aquitaine, Gasconne...) A little group of breeders and politic direction of "Midi-Pyrénées" country believe it's important to save old breeds. So, they try to grow the number of cows. If the number of animals was so great, it would be a very good breed for mothers crossed with bulls from Blonde d'Aquitaine or limousine breed.
I've spend one hour to write this message, so it's too difficult for me to translate in English. Try to found a translater for my articles and I'll be glad to read and eventually to correct you. If you have phtographies about cattles, (english, australians breeds, cross breeds with zebu...) enregistrate them in "commons" and tell me. PANDA 81 15:10, 11 June 2007 (UTC)~

[edit] Eddy Brown typo correction
Hi, regarding your typo correction in the Eddy Brown article of goalscorer to goal scorer. That isn't a typo, that's standard British-English usage which you'll find in hundreds of football-related Wikipedia pages. Also, the second one you changed was in the middle of a citation reference. Thanks for checking the article - if those were my only typos then I did OK. Cheers, Struway2 | Talk 08:20, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

On french article "list of breeds of cattle", my work go ahead. The number of breeds is more than 250. The way of presentation is different than yours. It's made by country. Friendly,--PANDA 81 08:14, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nontrinitarianism
Hello, I hope this works, I thought it would be the quickest way to contact you. I am currently involved in a "discussion" on the talk page of Nontrinitarianism and would appreciate some support from people who believe in the article as I am encountering interferance from a (obvously biased) Trinitarian. If you have the time, and/or know anyone with input, please help. GabrielVelasquez (talk) 19:43, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Pigeons
G'day Abbott75. I see from the article history you have done a lot of edits to the Pigeon racing article. I was wondering if you are a pigeon fancier? I made a userbox for pigeon fanciers (on my userpage) if you're interested. I keep pigeons myself and still only new here but editing away and learning as I go. I recently helped get the Rock Pigeon article up to GA. I'm planning to do the same with other pigeon articles as I find the time. Cheers, Sting au Buzz Me... 23:20, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
- Nice looking bird. I used to race pigeons many years ago. It was a lot of fun. Might do it again one day? I currently keep highfliers and fancy pigeons. One of mine is pictured at Australian Performing Tumbler. Getting an article to FA would be a hard task. There are not many get to that level. Getting one to GA was hard enough for my limited skills at editing. Great work with the pigeon racing article. I'll add to it as I find time. Sting au Buzz Me... 05:48, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pigeon racing
I think it's a great idea. Thanks for putting the Turkey info into the right section. I'm usually good with geography. I'm getting called to dinner now so I'll be back online later. Cheers,--Sting au Buzz Me... 07:57, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks, I'll look in detail later, but obvious first thoughts are
- intro does not summarise article as per Wikipedia:Lead section
- much of the text lacks in-line citations
- needs a good copy edit, eg first sentence has the oddly capitalised "Racing pigeon" and the refs are mostly inadequately formatted, eg no retrieval dates for web refs
- First ref should follow citejournal rather than citeweb format, with full details, but no retrieval date
- Jimfbleak (talk) 11:09, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
-
- Better in terms of content, but need 3/4 paragraphs, each with a minimum of three sentences to conform with policy. Don't need to reference again if the item is referenced in the body of the article. Not sure about the last sentence, is this a record distance? If so, make it clear, if not, it looks very parochial Jimfbleak (talk) 12:06, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Domesticated pigeons task force
