any effort to merge entries on populations that simply have different names in different places. The source is generally useful for data on varieties that are described and distinguished in reliable secondary sources, but it does not itself establish that they are distinct or notable, nor how to classify them. DAD-IS's problems carry over to other databases that rely on it, such as the Global Databank for Animal Genetic Resources. Example of problems include recording extinct breeds as still extant and vice versa, listing breeds as "endangered" when they're simply not common in a particular country, and accepting gross over-reporting of breeds (e.g. almost 200 horse "breeds" in Germany alone).

official name with a pedigree registry (which may be much longer, e.g., SK's Figtwit's Fancy of Ramsey Gyatso), it would be appropriate to also include the longer name in the dog's article, e.g. in the lead and/or infobox, as well as perhaps in a discussion of the registry and its best-known grand champion show dogs. If the dog had to be distinguished from something else called Figwit's Fancy, use the article title "Figwit's Fancy (dog)". If there were two dogs commonly known by this name, disambiguate further, e.g. "Figwit's Fancy (poodle)".
115:
such as "var." or "complex" (though the names these terms refer to are sometimes capitalized). Do not apply any sub-field's peculiar stylistic conventions outside of articles in that category if they conflict with the general rules. Scientific names can be complicated, especially for cultivated plants. For complex cases, refer to relevant specialist academic sources, while for vernacular naming, follow generalist sources on English-language usage (especially, do not capitalize as a form of emphasis).
618:; they will not be understood by many readers who are neither biologists nor Latin students. In botany, there can be up to five taxonomic ranks below the rank of species, all conventionally named in Latin: "subspecies" (which is spelled the same in English), "varietas", "subvarietas", "forma", and "subforma". There is also an uncommon one immediately above species and below sub-genus, "sectio". In practice, these are usually abbreviated (and never italicized) in names; 3566:), care must be taken in articles to distinguish between the feral or landrace populations (not capitalized except for proper names like "English") versus the controlled, standardized populations (capitalized), and to not confuse the respective facts about them, which may significantly differ. Treat them distinctly in a "History" section, in different sections, or (rarely) even in different articles if both the landrace and the standardized breed are independently 5105:(ICN) preface states of italicization of order and family: "The Code sets no binding standard in this respect, as typography is a matter of editorial style and tradition not of nomenclature." Most peer-reviewed scientific botanical publications do not italicize names above the rank of genus, and non-botanical scientific publications do not (except in virology; the ICTV adopted an italicization convention in the 1990s, which is ignored outside of that field). 4994:(usually a place name), so only a relative handful would remain lower case, a confusing consistency problem. Editors may not already know which ones are and are not based on proper names. These names are also official divisions in animal and plant competitive shows put on by such organizations, and ultimately are the titles of publications, in the form of breed and cultivar standards, and registered certifications of compliance with those standards. 3602:"Traditional breed" or "old variety" are often used synonymously with "natural breed", but also used to distinguish a traditional, early, more natural version of a breed from a dominant newer breed standard with markedly different traits. Capitalize "Traditional", "Old", or a similar term only in the name of a variant that has been standardized as a separate breed or sub-breed (which may vary by registry). Examples include the 4546:), except in the first sentence of the lead section of the article on that person (with a link to what the title means), so we obviously follow the same rule for animals, e.g. with titles like Grand Champion (GC). Mentioning such a title in other contexts would only be appropriate in unusual cases, such as in image captions when illustrating a breed article with photos of reliably sourced conformance-champion specimens. 2861:. Knowledge (XXG) consistently uses lower-case vernacular names regardless of taxonomic category, based on prevailing use in broad, peer-reviewed scientific and academic journals, general-audience mainstream sources, and the recommendations of most English writing authorities, despite the preference for capitalization in some specialist publications. 38: 2590:
biological describers and Knowledge (XXG) needs to be clear about who played what role. Alternative wording can be used for higher taxonomic categories, such as "erected". Do not use "circumscribed" used in place of "described"; circumscription should only be mentioned in a context where circumscriptions are being compared, e.g.
94: 402:. When editing an article that mixes viral and other topics, use the italicization and capitalization conventions of the non-viral topic, as this increases site-wide consistency and is less jarring for readers (e.g., in an article on cattle health, use the ICZN not ICTV style). Examples: In a virology article, use 4298:, reverse the order of the scientific and common name (if any of the latter are given), italicize the scientific name, and boldface both. Do not boldface a long list of common names. Avoid putting the most common name in parentheses (this will suppress its display in some views of Knowledge (XXG), including 5046:
commemorating the town of ’s-Hertogenbosch in The Netherlands is to be written ‘’s-Hertogenbosch’ and not ‘’S-Hertogenbosch’; similarly, the epithet commemorating the town IJsselham (spelled with the initial two letters in capitals) is to be written ‘IJsselham’ and not ‘Ijsselham’.
1741:. The template puts the trade name in a different font than the other text (this being the only ICNCP requirement; ICNCP's own examples show small-capitals formatting, but this is not required). Trade designations go at the end of the scientific name, or immediately before the cultivar epithet, if any: 149:. If in doubt about the applicability of anything given (or not given) in this guideline, consult encyclopedic works on the topic or scholarly literature. If still in doubt, use the style that seems most correct by general rules rather than attempt to apply a questionable interpretation of narrow ones. 753:
Be aware that standard abbreviations may differ by field, e.g. "subspecies" is "ssp." (when used at all) in zoology, but "subsp." in bacteriology and botany. It is required in a name by convention in botany but not zoology (so Knowledge (XXG) does not use it for the latter except in quoted material).
114:
domesticated varieties/breeds may be capitalized, but not informal landraces or types. Interpolations into scientific names are not italicized or capitalized, including connecting terms (e.g. "subsp." and "var.") and symbols (× and +), nor are the modifiers that are appended to some scientific names,

In taxonomy, using parentheses (round brackets) around an author's name is not a typographic whim; it indicates that a scientific name has been derived from a taxon described by that author, but the name has since been changed (e.g. the species has been moved to a different genus). You can forestall
2285:
It may be helpful to readers to also create redirects for incorrectly capitalized scientific names, e.g. those in which a proper name appears in the species epithet, since readers unfamiliar with the conventions may look for the capitalized version, and such variation is actually found in some older
429:
Virus species names are often abbreviated, e.g. HIV, HHV-5, etc.; these short forms are not italicized and do not use periods (full points) between the acronym letters. Unlike in other fields, non-abbreviated genus and species epithets in virology can even be multi-word, and overlapping (redundantly

Technically, and especially for long, complex names, the cultivar name and its single quotation marks can also be placed in parentheses (round brackets) after the trade designation for visual clarity, but this style is an unnecessary complication on Knowledge (XXG), especially since parentheses are

Ambiguous labels like "rare breed", "ancient breed", "historical breed", "national breed", "traditional breed", etc., have no clear definition, are used in contradictory ways, and should be avoided. "Rare breed" in particular is used by different people to mean "landrace", "nearly extinct breed",

Breed and cultivar/variety names are capitalized with near uniformity by such organizations as a matter of consistent convention, and general-audience publications (newspapers, dictionaries, etc.) sometimes also capitalize them. The majority of breed/cultivar names already contain a proper name

Fanciers' and breeders' publications are notoriously unreliable when it comes to distinguishing between formally recognized, standardized breeds (or cultivars), alleged new varieties promoted by particular breeders, and landraces and other more general, unstandardized types, calling all of them
3105:
As a rule of thumb, a "breed" that pre-dates the establishment of any organization devoted to that type of organism in that part of the world, and which is not presently recognized as an extant breed by such organizations, is usually just a landrace. This includes most populations in developing

Capitalization of the common names of species is regarded by many Wikipedians (including many professional biologists) as grammatically incorrect, and an inappropriate imposition of an in-house style from very narrowly specialized journals. Editors have commented on the matter in various

Avoid the urge to "pre-disambiguate" on the basis that an organism's name might conceivably be confused with something else. If there's no other subject with encyclopedic coverage with which the animal or plant name could be confused, then there's no need to disambiguate (e.g., use

to conserve its most defining traits as a modern standardized breed or cultivar. These are capitalized only if they meet the definitions of a standardized breed in a notable breed registry, or a registered cultivar (or cultivar group or variety) in a cultivar registration
4577:. Where multiple names exist, non-English names that appear with non-trivial frequency in English-language publications should exist as redirects to the English article name, and be mentioned as alternative names in the lead and/or infobox of the article on the animal. 2561:
Whether to include a date, and whether to include a combining authority after a parenthetical authority, along with whether to abbreviate, varies by nomenclature code. It is recommended to copy a taxonomic authority string verbatim from a taxonomically reliable source.
394:; it is not common outside this context even in academic journals, and should not be used in other categories of articles, as its double inconsistency will be confusing to readers and to non-specialist editors. The Manual of Style advises us, across all style issues, to 4234:. Alternative names should be mentioned and reliably sourced in the text where applicable, with bold type in the lead if they are in wide use, or elsewhere in the article (with or without the bold type, per editorial discretion) if they are less used. Examples: 1752: 1737: 4596:, which is not notable for being "heroic" in instinctually rescuing her kittens from a house fire. Her actions cannot be measured by a human-level, conscious weighing of risk vs. love, coming to a self-sacrificing decision. Such a notion would be 3262:
appear consistently capitalized in virtually all sources; do not capitalize names of general types of captive-bred animals, groups of strains, color patterns, and other groupings of animals, except where they contain a proper name. Examples:
1690:. On Knowledge (XXG), do not omit "grex" (or "gx"); while it is common shorthand to do so in horticulturist catalogs and the like, the clipped usage is ambiguous and may be confusing. When both grex and cultivar group apply, use that order: 973:. Except in viruses, a species (or subspecies) name is always preceded by the genus name, or a capitalized abbreviation of it when the meaning of the abbreviation is clear in context. Viruses are so narrowly named at the species level (e.g. 1171:). As noted elsewhere herein, some specific terms like "subsp.", "var.", and "sect." in botany are abbreviated and the names that follow them do take italics; use the italics if the term refers to a formal taxonomic level, otherwise do not. 4484:, use the most commonly attested name in reliable sources. If a longer or other alternative name exists, it is appropriate to mention this in a notable animal's article, and it can sometimes be appropriate to do so in other contexts. Per 3742:

is a reliably identifiable regional phenotype of a domesticated species that is not a formal breeds/cultivar, and produced by a mixture of some selective breeding and some free-breeding adaptation to the regional environment. Examples:

Interpolated names are easily confused with other terminology. If in doubt about parentheses, follow the usage in reliable sources. 4769:, to indicate a hybrid of domestic cats with any of several subspecies of Asian leopard cats. On Knowledge (XXG), this is best explained in plain English except in tabular data like an infobox's parameter for the scientific name. 3177:, which is redundant. This style is also used for disambiguation. Some constructions that are normally redundant may be needed in some contexts, most often when the breed name could easily be mistaken for a person or persons: 3554:
However, both of these terms are frequently used as synonymous with "landrace", and landrace names are not capitalized. If in doubt (i.e., if the reliable sources do not demonstrate standardization and registration), use lower
2704:
The type of organism is included at the end of the name when it is descriptive, geographical, or possessive; it is an organism named after another organism; the name is potentially ambiguous; or it is simply conventional to do
2726:. When an organism is usually referred to without the type (most often when it has a non-English name borrowed into English, or has long had an independent name and was later reclassified), do not add the type; e.g., use 2238:
Because redlinks directly encourage the creation of new articles, it is preferable to redlink than to not link at all or to link misleadingly or confusingly, e.g. to an article that does not mention the term being linked

Sourcing stringency is needed because many livestock- and pet-oriented publications have a tendency to over-use the word "breed" without any clear meaning; this is especially true of breed guidebooks/encyclopedias

It also avoids breaking readers' concentration; any usage (in titles or in text) that raises the question 4823:, as it is not recognized by all browsers.

Note that some groups of organisms conventionally are compounded more often than others, even when the constructions are otherwise similar, and majority usage in reliable sources will illustrate this: 5101: 4786: 270: 2541:. Link to the appropriate alphabetical section of that list for an author who has no article and is not already cited as a source in the article at hand. Do not make up your own author abbreviations. 3150:

For captive-bred varieties of wild animals (common in the pet trade), use lower-case other than for trademarks and for names of varieties/strains that are as well-established as domestic breeds
3813:
Assertion that a breed once but no longer recognized still exists as such, rather than having been subsumed back into the general population or gone extinct, would constitute original research.

It is not desirable to include non-English common names unless they are also commonly used in English, e.g. regionally; if included, they should be italicized as non-English (best done with a

If the first occurrence of such an abbreviation is in a name and the entire name including the abbreviation is linked to an article on the organism, then apply a terminological link or 3852:, and Knowledge (XXG) should thus not have articles on most of them. Small one-breed clubs have a fiduciary interest in promoting an alleged breed and its distinctiveness; these are not 3831:
Another form of original research is asserting that an ancient variety attested in manuscript materials is a breed or cultivar in the modern sense; this is a supposition that cannot be

Rule of thumb: If you can reasonably refer in many contexts to the breed or variety without the type, the type is optional and is not capitalized even when added sometimes for clarity:
4897:
Use of italics varies in sources. Knowledge (XXG) does not italicize "et al." in the context of source citation authorship, so does not do so in the context of taxon authorship either.
2882:, since many specialist readers are used to the capitalization being used in journals in their field, and nature guides often capitalize all entries as an aid to visual scanning. Use 4665:

4569:. However, an animal that is known exclusively by its untranslated non-English name would not be written about here using an editor's translation of the name. Examples: the horses 4182:). An exception is when a breed name might be confused with a human population about whom an article or article section could be written, in which case disambiguate the animal (e.g. 3223:). The unusually compounded and/or truncated adjectives favored by some registries are not used except in the names of standardized breeds as recognized by breed registries (breed: 3142:, except when always an integral part of the name of the breed/variety, and even in that circumstance it is not capitalized.
