Welcome to the Domestic pigeon task force of WikiProject Birds.

Scope[edit]

This task force covers anything related to the care and breeding of domesticated pigeons. The following types of articles fall within the scope of this task force's mission:

• racing pigeons and other aerial competitions (e. g. thieving competitions)
• important books related to raising domesticated pigeons
• magazines (past and present) associated with pigeon keeping
• biographies of important people in the history of the keeping of domesticated pigeons
• aspects of genetics specific to domesticated pigeons
  • documentation of what is known regarding mutants found only in domesticated pigeons
• history of domesticated pigeons and mankind's relationship with the pigeon.

Articles regarding doves, other species of pigeons, and other columbiformes are outside of the scope of this task force. This is because the scope of domestic pigeons is already substantial without adding the subject of doves and other species of pigeons.

Guidelines[edit]

Tagging and assessment[edit]

Until such time as this task force is upgraded to a stand alone WikiProject, any articles that are within the scope of this task force should be tagged with the project banner of WikiProject Birds. i.e. use {{BirdTalk}} template on talk page.

Categories[edit]

By convention, category notation goes at the end of the article before interlanguage links:

• Category:Domestic pigeons. All articles that refer to domesticated pigeons apart from specific breed articles.
• Category:Pigeon breeds. All pigeon breed articles about a specific breed should be labeled with this.
• Category:Domesticated pigeon breed stubs. All pigeon breed articles still deemed to be at the stub stage.

Templates[edit]

For main project templates, see the main project page for WikiProject Birds.

Userbox template[edit]

Participants can add the following userbox to their user page which will add them to the Domesticated pigeons task force category.
