Okay, I'll post queries below. Let's get to it :) Casliber (talk · contribs) 20:09, 16 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

  • I'd add a brief description to the lead (i.e. what it looks like in one or two sentences)
  • Breeding preference goes to "button" Pugs - what is a button pug?
  • Note on foo dog could do with a reference, I'll leave a tag
  • Try and mimimise switching bwtween singular and plural "pug/pugs" if possible. I was going to do the one in temperament section but I have to get off the computer for a bit. Back later.

Right, where was I? Some more....Casliber (talk · contribs) 11:29, 17 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

  • The breed has appeared several times as footnotes to history. - vague sentence the meaning of which I am unsure.
  • They were painted by Goya in Spain, dressed in matching jackets and pantaloons sat by the coachmen of the rich in Italy, and in Germany and France. - in Germany and France...what? There should be a verb here I think.
  • I'm curious on how the dimensions and attributes of the pug have changed over the centuries. so some discussion would be good in the Description or History sections, if possible.
  • Also, some info on closely related ancestral or descendant breeds.


1. Well written?:

Prose quality:  
Manual of Style compliance:  

2. Factually accurate and verifiable?:

References to sources:  
Citations to reliable sources, where required:  
No original research:  

3. Broad in coverage?:

Major aspects:  
Focused:  

4. Reflects a neutral point of view?:

Fair representation without bias:  

5. Reasonably stable?

No edit wars, etc. (Vandalism does not count against GA):  

6. Illustrated by images, when possible and appropriate?:

Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:  
Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:  
  • infobox image needs WP:ALT text, but not a deal-breaker...

Overall:

Pass or Fail:   I suspect that given the breed's history, it could be fleshed out more for an atempt at FAC, but it's fine for GA. Casliber (talk · contribs) 05:27, 18 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
  • The breed history is wrong as shown. If the breed has been known since the Shang dynasty then the date given for that Dynasty is wrong. The Shang Dynasty was from between 1766 BC - 1046 BC,(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shang_dynasty) depending on which scholar's method you use. This puts the Pug as a considerably older breed than the article states.

As I could be considered "biased" if I made the changes, would someone else check this and make the changes if appropriate please?Essengee12 (talk) 19:40, 30 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
