Talk:Puggle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It has been my experience as a Puggle owner that they are a very mild mannered and loyal breed - great with children. Their coat is short and soft and easy to care for. Their snouts are not as short as the Pug which makes them less susceptible to breathing and eye troubles. --63.144.103.106 16:47, 17 May 2005 (UTC)Melissa S., Michigan City, IN

[edit] This page as a disambiguation page

The correct format for a disambiguation page is as it currently is; puggle isn't enough of a breed to warrant its own article, as there's not a lot that can be said except that it's a cross between a pug and a beagle. Generally we've concurred that we don't need a separate page for every dorgi, borgi, porgi, morgi, puggle, puggi, pugese, etc. etc. Link and photo and sparse info from this page have been moved to the crossbreed page where it fits quite nicely.

Please vote:

Should this be a disambiguation page or a breed page for Puggles? And should Puggle have its own page of some kind anyway?

• Disambig. And no puggle breed page. See my comments above. Elf | Talk 16:30, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
• Disambig and No puggle page for now - unless it gains a large following and enough info is acquirable for it to have its own page Tekana (O.o) Talk 18:20, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

• Disambig and No puggle breed page. There are something like 16,000 different possible dog hybrids. It's infeasible to have a page for each. I'd say the criteria for adding a page is when the text in the crossbreed pages becomes so extensive that it needs to be removed from that page. Dsurber 22:05, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
• Disambig. And no puggle breed page. Billions of crosses, no need for a page for each cross type. - Trysha ^(talk) 07:00, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

• Puggle breed page. You obviously don't know how popular they are.

Can you provide some information to that effect? Meanwhile please wait for the outcome of the vote before editing the page again. Elf | Talk 03:51, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

I thought anyone can edit this page. How is adding an external link to puggle information vandalism. Are you saying I can't edit this page?

Remember that Wikipedia is also a collaborative effort, not a collection of individual user's pages. So one editor can be overridden if other editors agree. Continuing to insist on one's own preferences for a page in the face of a larger contingent with a different idea of what the page should be, and particularly without bothering to log in so that's easier to communicate, and without even attempting to communicate in any manner with or without logging in, really looks like willful vandalism.

I'm sorry, I'm new to wikipedia and just thought because I know quite a bit about puggles I'd share with others the info I do have. I added external links early on to www.puggle.org because I didn't want to change what other people had written, but when the page was totally wiped out it sort of made me mad. Anyways, if puggle is not a page that wikipedia needs any additional info about I'll leave it alone.

As I said in the page's history, I moved the appropriate links & text (there wasn't much there) to Dog hybrids and crossbreeds. It didn't vanish completely. I'm sorry that as a new user this started out badly for you, but I tried communicating via comments in the history and on the talk page and on an anonymous user page and finally by embedded comments in the article, which is not a normal way to communicate with users, but the anonymous user page seldom works because most anonymous users have a different ID each time they connect (not under your control, it's just that way). It wasn't until you had ignored all of those things and changed the page back 4 times that it started looking like just vandalism. All of us have been new users at some time or other and it's not always easy to understand how Wikipedia works. We're all willing to answer questions on our talk pages, too.

[edit] Puggle as mythic creature

As a young man, I heard tales of a gloomy homonculus that was often abandoned by its parents. Anyone else heard the Puggle stories? Is this folklore peculiar to the Midwest?
