Talk:Canadian Eskimo Dog

Use of motorized vehicles
Hey, I just wanted to point out a discrepancy in captions in this article and the article for the polar bear (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_bear). In the polar bear's page, it says in the section "Contemporary Regulations", subsection "Canada and the United States, there is a picture of the CED that states "Dogsleds are used for recreational hunting of polar bears in Canada. Use of motorized vehicles is forbidden." This is where the discrepancy occurs, as on the CED page it says "They are sometimes used for recreational hunting of polar bears in Canada. Use of motorized vehicles, such as snow machines, is more common."

I don't know which one is correct, and the information was not in the sources cited on the wikipedia page. I will look into this more later, I just wanted to know if anyone knew the information directly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Musiclover3444 (talk • contribs) 18:04, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

The 2nd picture shows a group of Huskies, not Canadian Eskimo Dogs. I changed the caption to read "This is a picture of Huskies", since I don't know how to upload a pic of the correct breed. Someone reverted my change. Better to delet the photo than to have it show the wrong breed of dog. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.143.201.77 (talk) 01:17, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
 * The image was merely incorrectly labelled, but if you read Ansgar Walk's photo description correctly, it says English: "Canadian Inuit Dog" (Canis familiaris borealis), official Animal of Nunavut. In addition to this, you also have to realize that the term 'Husky' or 'Exquimaux Husky' has also been used to refer to this specific breed of dog in the past (it's a general term, which doesn't refer to any specific species. See Husky for more information and comparison to other breeds). - Io Katai (talk) 02:30, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Repeated Adjectives
Not a huge thing, but the paragraph temperament talks about loyalty twice. I'm a newer editor, is this ok? Techdude 42 (talk) 03:15, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Citation Link Broken
This citation link gives an error on the website it links to. I'm guessing this should be fixed. Techdude 42 (talk) 03:34, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Spelling
I tried to change "color' to the correct spelling of "colour" in the sidebar, but when I do so, the entire colour section disapears. Anyone know how to fix this? this is the bit between "Coat" and "Classifications ...".Kurtdriver (talk) 22:52, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

New Section - "Controversies"
Before my edits, the article's introduction and history sections presented the RCMP dog killings in a misleading and inflammatory manner. I've attempted to improve this by adding a new section called "controversies". The new section covers both sides of the killings debate using neutral language and without drawing any conclusion. This content doesn't belong in the history section while the history itself is controversial. Also, two very different and distinct controversies exist, which further warrants a unique section.

Regarding the decline and "resurgence" of the breed:
 * I removed the claim that the decline was potentially due to the RCMP killings because none of the cited sources make this claim. While the purpose and extent of the killings remains controversial, no source claims that the killings caused the decline.
 * The RCMP killings is now covered in the controversies section because it has nothing to do with the breed's decline.
 * The sources indicate that the introduction of the snowmobile was a contributing factor in the decline, however, I removed language saying that this factor is "often stated" as the primary factor. "Often stated" is vague language and unsupported by the references.
 * I removed the "decline" subsection header because there's now only one paragraph about the breed's decline
 * I removed the "resurgence" subsection header because the sources indicate that the breed has not resurged - it is still under threat of extinction. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmattthew (talk • contribs) 08:38, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
