There are too many photos in this article. Could we delete a couple of redundant ones? --Sivaraj 16:19, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
I'm not sure of wikipedia guidelines on number of photos, but personally I enjoy them... --Dvyost 1:20, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Mrs Kellog
The sources say that Fala's donor was Mrs Kellog. If her first name can be found, I have no objection to putting it in - although she would probably not have used it. Simply to remove Mrs. is to distort the record; and has the curious effect, for a burst of feminist enthusiasm, of asserting that Fala, her property, belonged to her husband.

[edit] Language vs dog
Is a language, even if its spoken by only a few thousand people, really less relevant than FDRs dog? Wouldn't a neutral disambiguation be in order?

- Each has its own article, with an idiomatic name. What's the problem? Why this tiff with "language"? Septentrionalis PMAnderson 23:00, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

- This has nothing to do with the title of Fala language. I was asking whether this should be a dabpage or not.

- I'm glad to see that this is a not a general objection to "language", despite Talk:Chinese written language. But, really, with only two articles, who would be served by a dabpage? That would mean that everyone would have to click to get where they want to be; this way only some readers do. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 19:32, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
- I can say that I was startled to see this here rather than the language. (Also have a passionate hatred of the familiar cannine species, but that's another story.)
- Linguistics is one of the few things that Wikipedia does relatively well, which indicates I'm not the only one into linguistics who uses it. And Romance languages especially, have a lot of enthusiasts. (I'm more into Amerindian languages, which are, alas, much less well covered here than IE languages.)
- I'd say that if there's going to be a default page it should be the language, which is older than the dog, unlike the mutt, still and around. Even going by what rouses more interest, I'd suspect the language is still more likely to generate hits. Unless there's a way to count hits, in which case there could be a disambig for a or two, to see which gets more. (I can see serveral reasons why the default page would get more, not the least of which is one needs to go there to access the talk page, so it would have to be a disambig to work.) I swear there used to be a little hit counter on the bottom of the page, but I don't see it now. --71.192.117.127 00:04, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
