Talk:Tri Coloured Dutch

Merge

Fellow editors … I noticed that these two articles are virtually identical:

• Tri Colour Dutch (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
• Tri Coloured Dutch (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

I'm not sure which of the two should be kept, so I'll leave that to someone more knowledgeable on the subject of naming … note that they were both created by the same WP:SPA editor (Demismith (talk · contribs)) only one day apart … Happy Editing! — 138.88.7.48 (talk · contribs) _{15:59, 19 July 2009 (UTC)}

Well, in the absence of dissent, I'll Be Bold and do the redirect to this article. :-) — 138.88.7.48 (talk) 00:41, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Aticle title should be Tri-Colour Dutch not Tri [without the hyphen] Coloured Dutch ?

Tri-Colour Dutch—not Tri [without the hyphen] Coloured Dutch—is the formal name of this rabbit breed, per the British Rabbit Council—which is the only national standards-setting organization that currently recognizes this as a distinct breed. Therefore, I propose that the title of this Wikipedia article should be changed to Tri-Colour Dutch and a redirect should be established from the commonly-mistaken terms. (Currently, typing "Tri Colour Dutch" takes you to the "Tri Coloured Dutch" article.)

In addition, I propose establishing redirects from each of the equally-common (though incorrect) terms seen in the rabbit literature and on the internet in general. These forms of the name:

• exclude/include the hyphen,
• exclude/include the past-tense,
• exclude/include the parentheses, and/or
• use the adjective-noun vs. noun-adjective form of the name.

Specifically, I propose:

1. The main article's title should be: Tri-Colour Dutch, and
2. Redirects should exist from each of the following 23 alernate terms:

• Tri-Color Dutch

• Tri-Colored Dutch
• Tri-Coloured Dutch

• Tri Color Dutch
• Tri Colour Dutch

• Tri Colored Dutch
• Tri Coloured Dutch

• Dutch Tri Color
• Dutch Tri Colour

• Dutch Tri Colored
• Dutch Tri Coloured

• Dutch Tri-Color
• Dutch Tri-Colour

• Dutch Tri-Colored
• Dutch Tri-Coloured

• Dutch (Tri Color)
• Dutch (Tri Colour)

• Dutch (Tri Colored)
• Dutch (Tri Coloured)

• Dutch (Tri-Color)
• Dutch (Tri-Colour)

• Dutch (Tri-Colored)
• Dutch (Tri-Coloured)

I appreciate your giving thought to this terminology issue. Should a consensus be reached, I would be grateful for a volunteer to effect these improvements (since I, alas, am not yet an experienced Wikipedian).

Any feedback or assistance on all this would be much appreciated.

Additionally, if/when the article title is corrected, "(rabbit)" should probably be appended to it (as is customary for disambiguation). Yes? Timbuk-2 (talk) 22:03, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
