Oh man, I cannot believe some one actually spent so much time putting this together! BoNoMoJo 22:03 Dec 4, 2002 (UTC)

Isn't this merely a copy of "The Complete Guide To Cows", gathered over a course of years in the 90s? i'm not saying these people are not mad. -- 193.65.41.34 07:17, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Yes, these were going around Usenet and BBSes for ages. It's not like someone sat in front of Wikipedia and created all this, it's just a quick cut-and-paste from an old text file. [1] is from 1993 and is the oldest post I could Google, but it claims to be the 1989 version of the file. Rob T Firefly 04:58, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Could anyone wikify some of the cows, e.g. Picasso, Dali, etc. ;^)

No, this is a ASCII-art page that will not be wikify'd --zzo38 13:29, 2004 May 4 (UTC)

Was this ever posted on a page? Vancouverguy 01:01, 27 Sep 2003 (UTC)

At least some modifications were done later, not posted on an "article" page. -- 202.141.24.2 15:48, 23 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Aren't these copyrighted? These ar all free-filed.

[edit] Wikisource?

Should this all be moved to Wikisource? (and tidied up in the process?) --Phil | Talk 08:29, Nov 18, 2004 (UTC)

You have to be kidding me! __earth 00:56, Dec 17, 2004 (UTC)
  • Definetly needs tidying up - too many duplicate cows in between 1 m and 10,000 m! Maybe s.o. spots out a better organized cow site and we could put a cross link here. MFH 21:43, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
No, no, no, we should keep everything "as is". This nonsense is pure gold :P . A.K.R. 10:31, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Protected?

I just edited this page despite a protect notice. Is this vandalism? 69.220.61.68 01:19, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

This would be because the {{vprotect}} notice was added by a user who does not appear to have actually protected the page; indeed said user does not appear to be an administrator. HTH HAND —Phil | Talk 09:43, July 18, 2005 (UTC)

Who has this much time? This page just goes on forever.--God of War 06:43, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
