Talk:Doyle Owl/Archive 1

Myth?
I think that several elements of this article are rumor, mythology, and conjecture -- unsupported by documentation. I consider the likelihood that the Doyle Owl made it to Paris as about equal to that of ghosts in the steam tunnels -- Gnetwerker -- Dec 6, 2004

The date on the link to the doyle owl video is certainly incorrect. i am certain that it is from before my time at reed, and i entered fall 2005

-- The owl's recent history (the final two paragraphs) is essential to a complete understanding of the owl's current place in Reed society. It gives an in-depth look at the age-old tradition of the owl's passing hands, as well as up-to-date information on its current location. Furthermore, this page has been all too often edited by people who have probably never touched or even seen the owl, much less understand it. Grendel2110 21:01, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

I added reference links to the Reed Office of Admissions site that describes the owl, as well as to an article in the 2006-2007 Reed Student Body Handbook, and to the thesis by Angel Dawson regarding the owl. I also added to the paragraph about the owl's origins, describing the two most popular theories, both of which are described in the Student Body Handbook article. Finally, I added a link to the "Owl Riders" video on YouTube.Truncatedcone 09:45, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

I cleaned up the text a little, capitalised "Owl" throughout, described the pictorial tradition and cited a couple of owl pictures known to me, added a link to an article I wrote in 1996 about the Owl whilst in possession, and added a picture I took of the Owl (with some paint that seems to have been thankfully cleaned off in later years) Douglas Squirrel, 22 April 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.70.190.65 (talk) 22:53, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
