Dauchshund+Discussion

“Dachshund” Wikipedia Page  ** 1. Account for the postings (number of revisions, time range from first to last, notation of periods of activity)  **  The page seems to have been original written by Allen Millar on October 7, 2010. The page has been updated extensively from 2001 until the present. The latest edit was on October 26, 2010. This page has been edited 1,419 times. There were no major times when there were more edits than another time- it was more generally spread out, sometimes with one edit closely following another and sometimes being spaced apart.  ** 2. Describe progress or development in the article from the original post to the most recent update. **  The original page was very short. While it provided accurate information it was lacking in information breath. It had no pictures (the current article has many pictures) and had no resources. The original page was only a few paragraphs long. As time has gone more paragraphs on more topics have been added. The history, temperament, colorings, breeding, the job of dachshund etc. has been added. The photos that have been added are a mix of personal photos of dachshunds and reference photos. The page is now several pages long and is much more complete than the earlier versions.  ** 3. Critique the quality of the article in its current state (writing quality and factual information)  **  I think that this is of good quality. It encompasses a wide range of information and history about the breed. The quality of the writing is also of good quality. This page has been editing many times to improve both the quality of the information and the quality of the writing. This page was enjoyable for me to read, especially since I have a dachshund. It is a fairly complete article that covers most of the information I would expect to find in an article about a dog breed.  ** 4. Describe the discussion around the article  **  There is very little discussion of this article. There were two discussion topics that were on the board and both of these topics were about article content. One was a contributor asking “ Is the fact that dachshunds came before hot dogs important enough to be in this article?...” and the other was “could we redirect the search term doxine to this article. I always thought it was doxine. it would help alot since most people think its doxine”. The first topic got a response from C.Fred and the second topic got no response.  ** 5.
