[edit] images

I think the images should be in gallery form, so I have reverted. If anyone feels differently, please let me know. - Ta bu shi da yu 22:46, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

  • As per comments on Ta bu shi da yu's talk page, I do feel differently, hence my previous edit that Ta bu shi da yu reverted. The article is about the dog collar and should be illustrated prominently with a picture of a dog collar. A picture fo QE1 is a useful reference but should not be the most prominent illustration. Gallery images are too small. If two images mean one is redundant, then Otto's picture should stay as his was there first and "he" wrote the article.--A Y Arktos 23:43, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
    • He does not own the article, I think you need to get this straight first of all. Secondly, if you wish to revert, I don't have an issue with it. I do have an issue with the page layout now, however. - Ta bu shi da yu 01:30, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Three animal pictures are enough, hence I have reverted the latest addition to the gallery - did not add anything--A Y Arktos\talk 09:52, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Otto: love yr work. Steev 13:17, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gallery images

When you use a gallery you are welcoming people to add to it. Do not try to stop its growing, after all, galleries are used just for that. It's not the same case as inline images on articles, which should never become too numerous or the readability of the article will suffer. Placing galleries on the end of articles will let them grow without affecting the article itself as I have done in the Boxer article. Now users can upload pictures and the article itself remain clean and readable. Loudenvier 16:36, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

I would suggest the addtion of at least one image of a soft elizabethian collar (which is semi-rigid). I have been using them with my cats for a few years now and they very good for younger animals and for those who become severely stressed when wearing a rigid collar. It's an option that readers should be able to view.LiPollis 10:16, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Alternatives to the Elizabethan Collar

There are a lot of alternatives to the Elizabethan Collar out there. I encourage submission of such to expand the useful nature of the web-site for pet owners. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.168.7.143 (talk) 06:26, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
