[edit] Vandalism

There was a bizarre bit of vandalism under the Flemish Giant section of this article. I'm honestly not sure what kind of vendetta anybody could hold against a breed of rabbit, but it's been removed. --Krishva 08:24, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)

I removed "Conner is very good looking too" from the American Fuzzy Lop section because it makes absolutely no sense in the context of that article. I have no idea what Conner is in the context of American Fuzzy lops (nor why such a useless subjective statement is in there), but this was reported as "vandalism" and the change was reverted.

Found and removed the phrase "My vajj is messed up!!" in the Lop section, where a link to Charles Darwin's observations on the Lop was. The link is no longer available either. If anyone knows of it, please fix it. - Random reader of Wikipedia, Feb 20, 2007

Vandalism is common on Wikipedia. Good job cleaning it up. You can always revert vandalism if you like instead of simply removing the offending text. --Charlene 23:45, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

I have also deleted the latest: "Josh and Ryan are so hot!!" under the Palomino section. To all readers out there - please do fix all vandalism that you see. It would be greatly appreciated by other readers. Thank you. - Random reader of Wikipedia, May 31, 2007

[edit] This is not a list!

This page is not a list, its a miniature encyclopedia in itself!

I propose it be split so that each breed has its own page, that way it will actually be possible to expand the info on each breed. Remember WP:NOT paper! Tekana (O.o) [[User talk:Tekana|Talk]] 13:04, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Sounds reasonable. Perhaps this page should be a list linking to individual pages for each breed. I would suggest that name of the articles contains the word rabbit somehow though to differentiate the rabbit breeds that have the same name as other animals such as chinchilla's.

I agree, however this would take some time, and i suggest making the articles first, before deleting, or changing, this article, that way no one gets confused and such Buckshot307 20:40, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

It would be cool if people could add pictures of the different breeds. Maybe people who own them could upload pictures. --spiralhighway 17:30, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] German Giant

Anyone have any info about the German Giant breed? http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/newsid_4670000/newsid_4676900/4676904.stm Suppafly 18:12, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Also requesting this information. Another link for y'all: http://www.spiegel.de/international/0,1518,458863,00.html

I heard that Szmolinsky has exited the North Korean contract, as he suspects that the first shipment was eaten by the party heads at a birthday celebration for Kim Jung Il (as though I didn't have enough reasons to hate that guy; how could you possibly eat something that cute?) instead of being sent to the rabbit breading program. Again, this is only something I heard, so I was wondering if this is true. If it is, the page is obsolete and needs an Update. ELV

[edit] Lionheads?

The Lionhead tort COD was recently recognized by The American_Rabbit_Breeders'_Association. Should the Lionhead section of this article be changed? RouJoumis 09:43, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ARBA vs. European Breed Descriptions

I noticed that the "Silver Fox" rabbit on the list describes the European Silver Fox rabbit, which the ARBA in the US calls the "Silver Marten." In the US, the ARBA definition of "Silver Fox" describes a larger meat rabbit with fur similar to the Artic Silver Fox. The ARBA's Silver Fox rabbit is listed as critical by the American Livestock Breed Conservancy and should be represented in this list. National Silver Fox Rabbit Club

Perhaps a notation indicating region or group that recognises a given rabbit name/description should be included?

[edit] Belgium Dwarf Rabbit

The Lionhead rabbit mentions the Belgium Dwarf but there is no information on it. Could someone post something about it, I can get a picture of mine for the article
