Talk:Goat tower

blakstad
Hey, ! How can I recognize such a problem in future? --valereee (talk) 15:46, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
 * a translation It's no big deal! I guess one way would be to run the non-English Wikipedia article quickly through

Otherwise, someone else may catch it, such as in this case. Blakstad is a deputy mayor and failed parliamentary candidate, so maybe the page should be deleted over at the no:wp should be deleted. Geschichte (talk) 16:00, 23 November 2019 (UTC)


 * I did translate it, but it didn't jump out at me as a problem. You're saying he is likely not notable, and that's why we shouldn't use an interlanguage link? --valereee (talk) 16:25, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

images
Hey,, not sure what the image changes accomplished? Edit summaries weren't clear on that. --valereee (talk) 23:04, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I was trying to place the images next to the relevant text. I wasn't sure of the justification for the first image being on the left. In my edit summary "can teeny-weeny size be adjusted" I was suggesting they were too small. Can they be enlarged? I could not manage it. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 08:46, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

Aveleda
Seems to be Aveleda (Lousada) at pt.wiki. Tripadvisor calls it "Quinta da Aveleda", which translates as Aveleda Estate. Note it's not just a winery: "Aside from its important architectural heritage, marked by the perfect harmony between functional and natural elements, the Quinta da Aveleda estate is also famous for its parks and gardens, where rare species of trees flourish, some of which have been around for over a hundred years."

 * Nice, thanks! —valereee (talk) 14:51, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

Motive for building them
The article doesn't say who builds them or why. Are goats fond of towers? If so, why? Are they built by farmers for their own goats or by landowners for goats that live in the wild? Jim Michael (talk) 04:01, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Hey, ! Hm...I don't think any of the sources said exactly why they built them. I assume because once they saw one they were so delighted by the idea that they had to have one of their own. Or because they realized it would attract tourists? But it wasn't in the sources. Only one of the sources detailed who did the actual construction work to build the one tower, the one in Illinois, it was a local builder. The others didn't mention that detail. Yes, goats like to climb and like heights, just like cats; I could maybe find some non-related source for that, but does that feel a little OR? Not sure, hm, we could think about adding a small subsection about that, I guess? The article does contain a quote from one guy about goats not belonging to the plains so they built a mountain for them. —valereee (talk) 11:01, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
 * There needs to be some info in the article about why they're built & by who. The article is otherwise well-written & referenced, but these are major omissions in a GA. Yes, some animals - including goats & cats - prefer to be up high, but I've never heard of cat towers! It says in the article that some goat towers have become tourist attractions, but doesn't give it as a motive for building them. The fact that a great deal of time, money & effort has been made to create towers that aren't for people needs to be explained. Jim Michael (talk) 14:31, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
