Collage
I removed the image that you added to the article please refrain from re-adding it. Because it is out of place in the context of international figures like Picasso, Braque, Gris and Cecil Touchon. The artist is unreferenced and largely unknown. The image is badly cropped, and barely visible. Perhaps adding her name and a link to her article on the list of collage artists might be a better way to include her. Thank you for your efforts...Modernist (talk) 04:31, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your note. I would appreciate your cropping and fixing the image. As to my owning the article, I make no claim, no one owns wikipedia articles, although I have put in considerable time and effort in building that article. I am simply interested in maintaining accuracy and both quality and credibility - which is also why I am asking you to add references to the artists article. As to my credentials I can only point out the work that I have already done in several years editing and working in wikipedia editing many articles most of which were about the visual arts...Modernist (talk) 02:03, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Shetland Sheepdog Photo
Please stop changing the Infobox photo to the photo of the dog with obvious breed faults. Please see the discussion on the breed discussion page if you wish to discuss the issue. Just because a dog has been in a dog show does NOT mean that it has no breed faults. It is not even of the style of the 1900's, as shown in the photograph from 1915. (also on the shetland sheepdog page.). What do you find so terrible about the replacement image (The blue merle). I have alrady discussed on the article discussion page what is wrong with the image that you continually keep replacing it with. I am trying to work the article up to GA, and that photo just won't cut it! It is getting very frustrating. Cheers, - Keetanii (talk) 03:08, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry I didn't realise until now that it was your dog/photo. Given that it is your photo, don't you think it is a conflict of intrests for you to continue reverting to it? Cheers, Keetanii (talk) 03:18, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi,
 * There were actually many types of Toonie dogs --- not just the style of the 1915 Sheltie shown on the Wikipedia page. We found that the dog in the photo you took down very much resembles some of the Champions of the early 1900s. Is the 1915 dog a Champion? If you are interested, we'd be happy to show you the different styles of Toonie dogs.


 * The blue merle is not a Conformation dog, just an Agility dog. Is it your dog? As for the conflict of interest issue, Toonie dogs, especially nice ones, are hard to come by. We happen to own one who has shown rather successfully in the Conformation ring despite being a Toonie dog. No Sheltie breeder or judge has detected “obvious breed faults” in him. In fact, he very much resembles the 2nd English CH Woodvold. crescentmoonshelties.webs.com has photos documenting this. The blue merle is certainly not a conformational representative of the breed. The photo I changed it to has perhaps too much of the puff-ball look, but it is conformationally correct. At least we should compromise that another photo should be in the beginning of the article, but I think the article will be enhanced by a good photo of a living example of a 1920s Toonie dog. I agree that the photo of him is a little windblown and doesn’t show him properly. I can produce another one that makes his Toonie dog connections obvious.


 * Are you a Sheltie breeder or handler?


 * Thanks,
 * Peccarbread (talk) 13:32, 27 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Nope it is not my dog. It is not my photo, unlike the one you were suggesting is a good photo (with prick ears). If you have references that dogs with prick ears were common in that era that perhaps there could be a place for your photo. However the info box picture should clearly represent what the breed looks like today, not 100 years ago. And no, I have no conflict of interest in editing this page, I am neither a Shetland Sheepdog handler or dog breeder. Simply reverting to your picture over and over again without even putting a reason in the edit summary nor participating in the discussion in the article discussion page is a good way to get in trouble from the admins for edit warring. I understand that many dog breeders like to add information to the breed articles, but all content MUST be adequately referenced. The fact is, today, the breed standards say that prick ears are a fault. I would like to leave the blue merle in the article somewhere to show readers what a blue merle shelty looks like. If you have a better blue merle photo, please upload it! As for the current info box picture, I have no qualms with it. Cheers, Keetanii (talk) 01:39, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Hello, I see you've recently been making photo changes to Shetland Sheepdog, but I just want to point out that there's no need to change the photo with a different one each time, as all the photos can be seen through the WikiCommons (at the bottom of the page under External links).

Need a good photo of a Blue Merle Sheltie
Hi Peccarbread, I know you don't like the photo of the Blue Merle available on Wikipedia, so I was wondering if you had a better one of a blue merle for the Sheltie page? It would be nice to have an example of each colour on the page, for people who are new to the breed. It is really difficult finding good quality photos that can be used on Wikipedia, as most good quality photos of good quality dogs are fully copyrighted and therefore cannot be used on Wikipedia. Hope you can help. Cheers, Keetanii (talk) 03:11, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
