Photo trouble

edit

Hi there. My mother took a picture of this cattle wich i uploaded to commons named withe the ugly name Attachent.jpg. When put it into this article by 280px|thumb|Harzkuh string it show anything else but not my cattle. In the german wiki, it shows the right picture. Maybe anyone can correct this please.

The cattle photo is surely not named "Attachment.jpg".  — SMcCandlish ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ʌ≼  10:42, 15 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Harz Red mountain cattleHarz cattle – Name of article appears to be novel synthesis, and article is addressing multiple topics, the Harz cattle, and the "Mountain" breeding type of Red cattle (which could be compressed to a title of Mountain Red cattle probably), a hybrid of Harz cattle and Danish Red cattle. I have no objections to the article covering both the Harz breed, and the hybrid in a subsection, but the title can't be a made-up mishmash. It doesn't appear in any of the four cited sources, of which only one checks out anyway. PS: Even if this name were kept, it would need to be Harz Red Mountain cattle per pretty much every other domestic animal breed name on the system (capitalize the unique part of the breed name, but not the species).  — SMcCandlish ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ʌ≼  10:55, 15 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

The Harzer Rotvieh was a regional breed/ is a sub-breed of the Rotes Höhenvieh (DAD-IS). The Vogelsberger Rotvieh, the Waldecker Rotvieh, the Sauer- und Siegerländer Rotvieh, the Schlesier Rotvieh, the Odenwälder Rotvieh, the Bayrisches Rotvieh, the Sächsisches Rotvieh/the Vogtländer Rotvieh (GEH, Free State of Saxony: [1] pdf) are others. With industrialisation of agriculture and favouritism of "modern high-performance breeds" they lost their importance in the Central German Uplands (~1850s/1950s). With only view individuals left, breeders combined their resources to preserve the last descendants of the ancient cattle of the Celts as "Rotes Höhenvieh" (VIEH, GEH). "Harzer Rotes Höhenvieh" (~ Harz Red Mountain Cattle) is an alias of the Harzer Rotvieh (~ Harz Red Cattle ).
The dog breed de:Harzer Fuchs is a herding dog, bred to herd the Harzer Rotvieh (later also used to herd sheep). That may be an indicator, that this breed is of some (historic and/or cultural) significance. --PigeonIP (talk) 19:47, 11 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Comment: Someone give me a check to make sure this is the English Wikipedia. If it is and Google isn't translating for me then I DO NOT SUPPORT as listed. I DO NOT SUPPORT as "Harzer Rotvieh", "Harzer Rotvieh cattle" or Harzer Rotvieh (cattle), unless we are merging versions of Wikipedia. I do support Harz Red cattle. The current name is not correct so does need to be changed but to a more proper name as supported by references.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Otr500 (talkcontribs) 00:40, 7 October 2014

  • German "Vieh" = English "Cattle"; "Harzer Rotvieh cattle" would be Cattle cattle, "Rotvieh (cattle)" = Cattle (cattle)
  • There are no usable references for an English name. Harzer Red mountain cattle is a private/handmade translation of a german website (harzer-rotvieh.de). Referring to "Harzer Rotes Höhenvieh" - a name only this website and members of the association (due to local marketing?) do use - it should be "Harz Red Mountain Cattle" (but there is no reference of native "English" origin for that). --PigeonIP (talk) 19:47, 11 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
Yes, indeed, that's the homemade/handmade translation PigeonIP was referring to above. Like some other names proposed (and later withdrawn) on this page, it falls foul of WP:AT, "Do not, however, use ... made-up names". Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:16, 15 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
Harzer is a German term, referring to the Harz (or "Harz Mountains"). "Harzer Red mountain cattle" is no proper English, it is Denglish. --PigeonIP (talk) 21:30, 15 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
