Hi, Anna

I'll mark Green tickY comments when I think they're resolved, highlight Red XN any that are unresolved when most others are done, and strike out any of comments that I later decide are mistaken. I'll sign each of my comments, so we can see who said what - please do the same.

I'll mark the review {{inuse}} when I'm working on it, as edit conflicts are frustrating. If you think I've forgotten to remove {{inuse}}, please leave a message at my Talk page. Please free to use {{inuse}} with your own signature when you're working.

I'll read the article through first, then give comments.

Coverage

[edit]

Green tickY I looked at other dog breds at WP:GA, and think Potcake dog has enough aspects considering the breed modest origins. --Philcha (talk) 11:20, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Green tickY "AMIGO served as an Ambassador of Hope for homeless and challenged animals before his untimely death from cancer in 2007" from BEKiND.org - Who. --Philcha (talk) 15:25, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Incorporated. – anna 00:05, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Did you have 2nd thoughts about Amigo's death? I've included it. OK? --Philcha (talk) 09:06, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    I had included it in the following sentence: "He also served as an Ambassador of Hope for homeless animals until his death in 2007." – anna 16:18, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Green tickY Is there a successor(s)? --Philcha (talk) 15:25, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Perhaps, but it seems unlikely. – anna 00:05, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Green tickY I didn't find Hollywood Life Achievement and Ambassador of Goodwill awards in the sources. --Philcha (talk) 15:25, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    They're on both pages. HSGB states: "Amigo was recently honored in Southampton New York by the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons (ARF) and given the Ambassador of Goodwill Award, presented by movie star Alec Baldwin and in early December will receive the Hollywood Life Magazine Break Out Award, to be shown on the Showtime network." Further research showed that the "Hollywood" award was referred to by various names on various sites that were basically equal in reliability, but I've switched it to "Hollywood Lifetime Breakthrough Award" per the image of Alicia Silverstone and Amigo here. It's frustrating when sources refer to things by the wrong name, but this seems the most plausible (I was going by a news item put out by the BEKiND foundation previously). – anna 00:05, 29 April 2011 (UTC) By the way, one of the sources described Amigo "walking the catwalk in fashion shows to benefit homeless animals" - catwalk? --Philcha (talk) 09:06, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Green tickY Is there a pic of 1 or more skinny potcake dogs in poor condition roaming around the street. If so, you could move the pics of the black-and-white puppy up to the top of "Appearance". Even on my widescreen with the font reduced (CTRL and -), it fits. Then the stray(s) could go in "Overpopulation and rescue efforts". --Philcha (talk) 09:06, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Unfortunately, no, there are few freely-licensed potcake pics (I looked through Flickr for quite a while). File:BahamianPotcake.JPG is available as well, but it's not in poor condition. – anna 16:18, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    I tried the image search tool FIST, and got nothing. --Philcha (talk) 08:59, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
