It is requested that a photograph or photographs be included in this article to improve its quality, if possible. Preferred photos show the complete animal, head to tail. Additional photos should add information, such as a face-only shot or distinct coat color or texture variants. Please do not include restricted copyright or "fair use" images. |
Hello, I will try to get an approval from the person who gave me the photo on my website and place it on Wiki (although this might only happen after the Holidays).
I also added a few phrases to the temperament paragraph and an external link towards some specific Cane Corso training techniques.
If there is any problem please let me know!

[edit] Appearance discrepancies
The appearance section states that the ICCF and FCI standards are different, whereas the ICCF has now largely accepted the FCI/SACC standard as the correct standard. This may change of course... but for the moment it makes this breed appear less 'settled' than it truly is... In particular the height published on the ICCF site is identical to the heights published by the FCI.
I just edited the appearance section and temperament sections - in the first to adjust the sizes to reflect what is in the standard (sorry now it looks a little silly as the differences in height are very slight) and fixed some spelling errors, finally adding the tail cropping specifications. In the temperament section I modified the paragraph, making it more formal but (I hope!) maintaining the same meaning and stress.
Let me know if you don't like something, in particular I think changing the appearance section to de-stress the 'differences between standards' I think wuold be a good idea, as really there are now only 2 standards; FCI and ICCF. These are now VERY close - current ICCF manoeverings aside. The old FIC standard is now mostly forgotten and Breber's writings are marginalised for the most part. We are mostly talking the same Corso language...

[edit] Article quality October 24, 2006
- The section titled "History" with the text: "below quoted from the Cane Corso Preservation Society website" could be a copyright violation and needs an extensive rewrite, see Wikipedia:Copyright violations.
- The external links probably needs to be pared down, see Wikipedia:External links
- The article lacks references. Perhaps some of the external links are actually references?

[edit] Proposing some new changes
Wiki has (somewhat correctly) identified the new expanded 'links' section as a little bit spammy. Before I go and make changes, I thought I would discuss them:
First - Wiki wants references. I think the Standard section should be changed to a summary of the standard, followed with discrepancies between the submitted AKC standard and FCI standard highlighted, with a reference to the AKC and FCI standard documents right there in the section.
Second, the picture. Surely a picture of Basir would be a good idea? If not Basir, then some recognised champ or something? Basir is dead, so a picture should be public domain yes?
Third, the links section. Thank you for all the links, but they are a little confusing as they all go to the same place. I think that one link to the canecorso.com site is plenty.
I will wait for some feedback on here, but will make the changes later this month if I don't get any.
Oh - I also wanted to add that the picture gallery is a wonderful idea, thank you, but again it probably needs to include the different (and far more common) colours of Corsos... I understand that this is uploaded by these dog's owners, which makes it copyright free - but I am sure we can all add some of our own!

[edit] Gallery & External links
Gallery photos have most recently been the target of deletion by Zoedevita (who may also be known as 68.198.8.214). This person has also repeatedly deleted the canecorso.com external link under "General Information" and replaces it with a link to her own personal dog breeder website. I have been reversing her changes and notified her of Wikipedia's guidelines that do not permit external links to personal web pages. Two Wikipedia editors have also been reversing her changes and notified her on the talk page for 68.198.8.214 so hopefully her vandalism will stop immediately. A big thank you to the editors for their kind assistance!
Bassclef, I agree that the main photo for the Cane Corso page should be Basir. If not, perhaps the illustration of a Cane Corso used by FCI in their standard would be acceptable. Another alternative would be to feature a highly-accomplished and widely recognized Italian Multi Champion.
