[edit] Panther

In case anyone wonders, I have removed panthers from the list used in the Middle Ages in England. A panther (by different uses) can be a leopard, jaguar, puma, lion, or tiger. Leopards, tigers, and lions are already listed, and pumas and jaguars would've been unavailable to England at the time - they are New World species. - Slow Graffiti 17:48, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Move

The article was orginally created at "Bait (dogs)". Later it was moved without discussion to "Baiting (sport)", which can mean different things, including "Shark-baiting" etc. This article pertains solely to the baiting of animals with dogs. Therefore, the article has been moved back to "Bait (dogs)", which is the most appropriate name for the article. See definition at article. Cordially SirIsaacBrock 01:52, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Opening paragraph

Could I suggest a discussion here, instead of a revert war? MikeHobday (talk) 09:39, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

to User:MisterSheik...Your writing style is in the context of Simple English Wikipedia. At Wikipedia we are allowed to use full English to describe and add context to articles. Please stop posting to my talk page, I will no longer respond to you. Chessy999 (talk) 11:59, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Chessy: If you aren't up for engaging in civil discussion about the content of an article, why are you editing this encyclopedia? I am not talking about using simple english; I am talking about using plain English. "Removing redundancy will not damage the meaning [of an article], and in most cases will strengthen it. Crisp, elegant writing demands the elimination of redundancy." The phrase "with endeavor" is clearly redundant once you have stated the motives of the dogs. Obstinately reinserting superfluous words belies an ignorance about the meaning of those words. Please don't edit the article until you're ready to discuss your changes.

I just checked this editors history, the only thing he is doing is changing articles to simple English, nothing else. Seems to go along with the theme stated on his User homepage. It seems we have a simple English radical on our hands -:) Chessy999 (talk) 02:44, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Animal-baiting

I have moved the article back to Bait (dogs) from Animal-baiting as it is the baiting of animals using dogs only. Chessy999 (talk) 21:53, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
