:Do we know whether the fan artist had any extra information from NN about relative sizes? Technically, it would be useful to have every official citation of dragon size from the series-- but it would be just as tedious to compile all of those cites as it would be to read them. WRT the national origin sections, my first impulse was to try correlating the numbers within each subsection to the main art index numbers at the start of the article... I wonder if it would be worthwhile to change the art index into a dynamic table that included (and could be sorted by) national origin, though I'm not sure how the sizes could be factored into that. (An easier way might be to simply color-code individual breed names in the existing art index.)--[[User:Wombat1138|Wombat1138]] 15:02, 14 August 2010 (PDT) | :Do we know whether the fan artist had any extra information from NN about relative sizes?

:: 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) | ||

I've been looking up the names of the Dragon Breeds to see if they have any counterparts in mythology, so we can picture what they should look like, and several breeds have names belonging to Butterflies (Xenica, Bright Copper, Anglewing, Longwing and Mauerfuchs, as well as "Chequered" being a name for two breeds of butterfly. Plus, the french word Papillon even means Butterfly!). Because of the issues we had with some of these names (Xenica for one having no real meaning), perhaps some of the people who classified butterflies in our world classified dragons in the Temeraire world.
