[edit] Feral goats in Australia

User:Ahtsisab has just added a long section on feral goats in Australia. It is excellent material: well-researched, well-referenced and full of useful encyclopaedic information. However, it seems to me that it makes the goat article very unbalanced, and I think it would be better in a separate article.

It is well meaty enough to make a reasonable article on its own. However, feral goats also occur in many other places in the world, often with similar issues, and so I think it would be best in an article about feral goats more generally (which surprisingly does not exist yet, apart from a short section in Wild goat). I therefore suggest that this material is moved to a new Feral goat article, leaving a "main article" tag and summary here. The summary for this important subject ought to go earlier in the article – I suggest inserting it before "Goat breeds". --Richard New Forest (talk) 16:25, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

No comments for a couple of weeks, so I have broken out this section into a new Feral goat article, with a "main article" tag. --Richard New Forest (talk) 21:39, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
