:: Another thought on visually coding the breed names-- how about marking different national origins <font color="green">by color</font>, and marking weights by putting <font color="green">'''heavyweights'''</font> in bold, <font color="green">middleweights</font> in normal font, and <font color="green">''lightweights''</font> in italics? --[[User:Wombat1138|Wombat1138]] 21:36, 29 August 2010 (PDT) | :: Another thought on visually coding the breed names-- how about marking different national origins <font color="green">by color</font>, and marking weights by putting <font color="green">'''heavyweights'''</font> in bold, <font color="green">middleweights</font> in normal font, and <font color="green">''lightweights''</font> in italics? --[[User:Wombat1138|Wombat1138]] 21:36, 29 August 2010 (PDT) | ||
− | :::With regards to the Table idea; sounds good. I've thought for a while now that the large picture should be edited to better group the dragons, as at the moment it's just all over the place. So, how about a table that has the name in the first box, country of origin in the next, weight in the third, and finally the picture in the fourth? We could even add an extra box listing names, but that could make it a bit lengthy. On the other hand, it might make sense to sort them in the way they are at the bottom of the page currently, if we can come up with an accurate list of weights | + | :::With regards to the Table idea; sounds good.

:::As for the cites, they shouldn't take too long; it's just a matter of finding the odd descriptive quote, adding them with Sir Edward Howe's notes and adding the odd bit of speculation. For instance, it's safe to say that the Winchester breed is the smallest English breed. We know that the Grey Widowmaker is a small breed that was bred with Winchesters to create the Greyling, so presumably the Greyling is smaller than the Widowmaker. We also know that the Grey Coppers are smaller dragons, so it could be that they were a cross between Bright Coppers and Grey Widowmakers. That's nearly the entire Lightweight section sorted out. From memory, Anglewings are slightly larger than Yellow Reapers (and I would assume, based on the descriptions, that Malachite Reapers are of a similar size to Yellow Reapers). I'll come back to this later when I've had a chance to consult my notes. BTW, what do you think about the link below to Wikipedia? Has any of that information regarding weights turned up in the books before?[[User:Almaron|Almaron]] 02:11, 30 August 2010 (PDT) | :::As for the cites, they shouldn't take too long; it's just a matter of finding the odd descriptive quote, adding them with Sir Edward Howe's notes and adding the odd bit of speculation.
