[edit] Bullfighting

Promoted 18:37, 8 May 2004

Happened upon this using Random page, and was suprised to find that it wasn't a featured article yet. Well written with good pictures. The subject is also one of those neat things that you always wanted to know more about beyond the generic bullfight. Also features criticism near the bottom. --Gregb 22:11, 30 Apr 2004 (UTC)

• Support. Article is very well done. RADICALBENDER★ 15:59, 1 May 2004 (UTC)
• I expanded the section on the Portuguese bullfights and add my support for the article, although (for the record) i find the whole thing disgusting. Muriel 17:26, 1 May 2004 (UTC)
• (Not an objection.) The article mentions that bullfighters recieve ears and tails of the bull on certain occasions; perhaps it could mention who decides whether they should be awarded or not? Also, I believe (but am not sure) that one might recieve one ear, two ears or two ears and a tail - if this is accurate, then the article could mention it. -- Emsworth 22:09, May 1, 2004 (UTC)
• Support. Well done article; comfortably neutral on a contentious topic. --Andrew 22:20, May 3, 2004 (UTC)
• Support. But is too centred on Spain. Makes people believe that is a Spanish tradition, we are already full of pre-thinking, Wikipedia should give (true)knowladge. Doesnt talk about South American Bullfighting. Doesnt talk about the Ancient minoans and celts. People is led to think that's Spanish. Altought a stupid tradition, it is culture. I support it because of the style of the article, not content. Pedro 01:23, 8 May 2004 (UTC)
