• You should probably wikilink all the island names and native groups (like Marquesas and Maori)   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  02:08, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

• Didn’t I already do that. Which links are you thinking should be there but are not.KAVEBEAR (talk) 02:27, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

• You wikilink Kurī twice   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  02:08, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

• Removed second link.KAVEBEAR (talk) 02:23, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

• Do you wanna add some photos from the Commons?   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  02:08, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

• The images are all mostly problematic. They are artist depictions of the dogs which are not particular scientifically accurate. I added the kurī museum specimen though. KAVEBEAR (talk) 02:27, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

• Who described the dogs as Canis pacificus and why isn't it a taxon anymore?   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  02:08, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

• I think it is because the scientific community recognize that all domestic dogs are Canis lupus familiaris.KAVEBEAR (talk) 02:20, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

I think there should be some discussion on it (like who came up with the name first and who synonymized it with Canis lupus familiaris)   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  02:26, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

Included a line on it. The history of its use after 1839 does not exist in the sources. All I found were requotes of Smith’s book.KAVEBEAR (talk) 02:41, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

• Wikilink haplotype and Wairau Bar   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  02:08, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

• Done.KAVEBEAR (talk) 02:23, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

• Alright, it'll pass. Also you might wanna move the page from Polynesian Dog to Polynesian dog at WP:RM as an uncontroversial technical request   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  15:24, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
