editWilliam Harris, the question is not whether this is reliably sourced, but whether it is fundamental enough to go into the lede. Doesn't look like that to me. But whatever. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 22:19, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
- Hello Elmidae, thank-you for curating this small - but about to be expanded - article. It is critical that this text go in the lede because it is definitional, and the red fox is not a domesticated mammal. Those red foxes that went through the farm fox process are not domesticated animals, but many (and not all) exhibit domestication syndrome. Something other than human selection is going on here. This is 2020, we have access to both modern DNA and ancient DNA studies to draw upon, and teams of international researchers and geneticists are now focussing on the question of "what is domestication".
- When I rewrote the article "Domestication" and created the article "Domestication of animals" back in 2016, it was always my intention to develop this topic, however the findings of various studies were not persuasive and coherent; today they are. Regards, William Harris

- User:Onel5969, thanks for your concern about content forking; if I were in your position I would have done exactly the same thing. However, in this instance, I think I know what I am doing. William Harris talk 01:57, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
- William Harris - Hi. When you're working on developing an article, you might consider working on it in draftspace, or userspace. Or putting a {{underconstruction}} tag on the top. That way, when page reviewers are going through their queue, they don't jump to conclusions like I did. Happy editing. Onel5969 TT me 02:42, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

- Many thanks User:Onel5969, I did not know that this template existed. The article "Domestication" already had a link to "Domestication syndrome" in the section titled "Overview" built into it, just waiting for me to switch it on. Now is that time. I have other priorities as part of WPDOGS, however I have already assembled much of the information to be uploaded, and I intend to consolidate information that I have found existing across a number of other articles. I aim for a "single source of truth" on the project. Regards, William Harris talk 09:16, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

editHello @Elkost: I think this edit is incorrect. Shouldn't it be sorted with Domestication? At the least it should be |s for syndrome. Invasive Spices (talk) 6 July 2022 (UTC)
- Hi, @Invasive Spices:. Only the main article should be sorted by ″| ″ at the top (at the very begging) of a category, just to separate it from the rest, showing that it is the main one. In our case these are the article ″Domestication″ in the ″Category:Domestication″. --Elkost (talk) 17:36, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
