Talk:Tri Coloured Dutch

Merge
Fellow editors … I noticed that these two articles are virtually identical:

I'm not sure which of the two should be kept, so I'll leave that to someone more knowledgeable on the subject of naming … note that they were both created by the same WP:SPA editor only one day apart … Happy Editing! &mdash;  15:59, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, in the absence of dissent, I'll Be Bold and do the redirect to this article. :-) &mdash; 138.88.7.48 (talk) 00:41, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Aticle title should be Tri-Colour Dutch not Tri [without the hyphen] Colour ed Dutch ?
Tri-Colour Dutch&mdash;not Tri [without the hyphen] Colour ed Dutch&mdash;is the formal name of this rabbit breed, per the British Rabbit Council &mdash;which is the only national standards-setting organization that currently recognizes this as a distinct breed. Therefore, I propose that the title of this Wikipedia article should be changed to Tri-Colour Dutch and a redirect should be established from the commonly-mistaken terms. (Currently, typing "Tri Colour Dutch" takes you to the "Tri Coloured Dutch" article.)

In addition, I propose establishing redirects from each of the equally-common (though incorrect) terms seen in the rabbit literature and on the internet in general. These forms of the name: Specifically, I propose:
 * exclude/include the hyphen,
 * exclude/include the past-tense,
 * exclude/include the parentheses, and/or
 * use the adjective-noun vs. noun-adjective form of the name.


 * 1) The main article's title should be: Tri-Colour Dutch, and
 * 2) Redirects should exist from each of the following 23 alernate terms:


 * Tri-Color Dutch
 * Tri-Colored Dutch
 * Tri-Coloured Dutch


 * Tri Color Dutch
 * Tri Colour Dutch
 * Tri Colored Dutch
 * Tri Coloured Dutch


 * Dutch Tri Color
 * Dutch Tri Colour
 * Dutch Tri Colored
 * Dutch Tri Coloured


 * Dutch Tri-Color
 * Dutch Tri-Colour
 * Dutch Tri-Colored
 * Dutch Tri-Coloured


 * Dutch (Tri Color)
 * Dutch (Tri Colour)
 * Dutch (Tri Colored)
 * Dutch (Tri Coloured)


 * Dutch (Tri-Color)
 * Dutch (Tri-Colour)
 * Dutch (Tri-Colored)
 * Dutch (Tri-Coloured)

I appreciate your giving thought to this terminology issue. Should a consensus be reached, I would be grateful for a volunteer to effect these improvements (since I, alas, am not yet an experienced Wikipedian). Any feedback or assistance on all this would be much appreciated. Timbuk-2 (talk) 22:40, 26 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Additionally, if/when the article title is corrected, "(rabbit)" should probably be appended to it (as is customary for disambiguation). Yes?  Timbuk-2 (talk) 22:03, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
