Talk:Racing Homer

Redirect needed
I have noticed that a page with a similar name to this one (Racing pigeon) redirects to Homing pigeon. My problem with that is that although all Racing Pigeons are of necessity "homing" pigeons. Not all homing pigeons are racing pigeons. So I feel that eventually the two pages will run as two different topics. I'd prefer to change the redirect so people searching for Racing pigeons are directed here. I could have just gone ahead and done the redirect but thought I should post here first for comments? Also, this page if it is going to be anything like a proper Encyclopedic reference for racing homers needs plenty more work being done to it. Any takers? Sting au 11:32, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

I've done the redirect. Two months without any objections seemed to say that no one had any problems with a redirect? Sting au 05:48, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Article move
Why is this article named "Racing Homer"? In order to conform to Wikpedia article naming convention, should it not be named "Racing homer"? &mdash;QuicksilverT @ 23:33, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Proposed Merge
I am proposing a merge of this artice with the article named Homing pigeon. Since there are numerous "homing pigeon" type birds, with little or no difference in actual breeding or information. I suggest that all homing and racing pigeon articles are merged, while the main article would state the different names and characteristics of the different 'varieties' of this breed. Show type homers would still be kept separate. If anyone has any opinions, I would love to hear them. Otherwise I will be merging the pages within the week. payxystaxna (talk) 15:55, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
