Further sources for article improvement[edit]

There's a big pile of AsEAVa/AsEAMo newsletters (in Spanish) at http://www.aseava.com/publicaciones.aspx which can be mined for details to flesh out both Asturian Valley cattle and Asturian Mountain cattle articles. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼ 04:05, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
More Spanish-language sources from Spanish govt. search[1] (only looked at first two pages of results):

- Indicación Geográfica Protegida "Ternera Asturiana"
- Organización Interprofesional de la Carne del Vacuno Autóctono de Calidad: INVAC
- Denominación de Origen Protegida "Queso Casín" ("Casín", at least for cheese, can be from any of three breeds or their crosses; need to check on this for meat, too, as Asturian Mountain cattle says Casín applies only to its meat).
- Agroalimentarios. (Reglamentación) (Something under this section, in the PDFs, probably addresses Casín beef.)
- This source does not list the Asturian Valley cattle, but does list the Asturian Mountain cattle, as "in danger of extinction" (it lists both as autochthonous to Spain): Raza Autóctona en Peligro de Extinción

Interesting that if I dare (as I did at what is now Talk:Asturian Mountain cattle#Requested moves) to suggest renaming something as naturally ambiguous as Asturian Mountain and Asturian Valley to more sensible names (and consensus goes along with me eventually), it generates an enormous torrent of activistic sourcing attempts to "prove me wrong", none of which contribute in any way to article improvement. When I then do a large amount of source digging, for the benefit of the same "breed article editing" editors who claim I'm just some interloper who "doesn't work on breed articles" (despite the fact that I work on them quite often), absolutely zero activity from the same people occurs, and the article is not improved for 8 months running, no matter how many sources I find for them to use. This is not an isolated case. That's very, very curious. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼ 08:46, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It has now been 17 months if my math is right. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼ 06:07, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
