: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) | ||

:If nothing else, we can probably assume that NN based those dragon breed names on the butterflies, and so maybe that provide a hint of her intentions for canon colors/patterns after all. Maybe add a brief "Butterfly" note/description to the end of each applicable breed? Dunno how much relative size info could be inferred from the butterflies, though. --[[User:Wombat1138|Wombat1138]] 13:47, 9 September 2010 (PDT) | :If nothing else, we can probably assume that NN based those dragon breed names on the butterflies, and so maybe that provide a hint of her intentions for canon colors/patterns after all.
