I've listed this article for peer review because it has recently undergone an overhaul and I want to see what could be improved to get it to Featured List status. ~ Ameliorate _{U T C} @ 08:48, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wouldn't this list be more interesting if the breeds were organized by their most common function? I.e. guard dogs, herding dogs, toy dogs, and so forth. It would also be more functional if there were more information beside each breed, such as geography point of origin, typical size, &c. Perhaps even a table of information? Anyway, just some thoughts for consideration.—RJH (talk) 23:04, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I might take up your idea of turning the page into a table. As soon as I have time! Thanks ~ Ameliorate _{U T C} @ 10:14, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ruhrfisch comments: Very briefly, here are some suggestions for improvement. If you want more comments, please ask here.

Since there are no breeds that start with numbers and none for several letters (Q, X, Z) why not use {{CompactTOC8}} which has no numbers and lets you turn off unused letters?

Done using a custom TOC as CompactTOC8 has a background that didn't look right.

If you are going for FL, this will need many more references - for example what is the source of the list - on what basis are these breeds included here?

Working will take a bit of time to verify each one

The lead needs to be expanded per WP:LEAD and there should be an image in the top right corner (and fewer images in the P section)

Working will do soon

Per WP:MOS#Images do not use pixel widths, just thumb to allow reader preferences to take over.

Done

If the list were a table and sortable, then common function could be an entry in the table for each do and the list could be sorted that way. Other possibilities to include in the table as separate columns come to mind - by size or by country of origin.

Working on making it a table.

Hope this helps. If my comments are useful, please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog (which is how I found this article). Yours, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 00:29, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
