I am currently working in a catering company as a garde mangerchef (sandwiches, cold hors d'œuvres,cheeseplatters and similar). My favorite wikithings to do was working on Dog articles, but I stick my finger into everything. I especially hate plagiarism of articles, something that can happen too often in this area. Currently, I'm looking for a new project, but have left my dog stuff here for now.
I have exacting standards of what makes a good Dog article. I personally prefer the material to be derived, rather than copied, from sources. This is especially important in Dog breeds because so many times international standards vary slightly from one another, and sources have different and conflicting information on breed histories.
Remember: your article may be what someone will be looking at when they decide to purchase a dog. Tell them everything you would want to know, or wished you had known.
A dog article should:
Have the [Table], no matter how short the rest of the article is
Have a descriptive Appearance section, especially if there is no photo, keeping in mind differing standards
Use subsections when needed, especially for colour
Have other sections about the dog, especially Temperament
Avoid using one site for the source; the dog fancy is a complex and differing lot, and information gleened too heavily from one article or website may be biased or even wrong.
List the bad with the good
Link to national and international breed clubs and rescues in preference to dog breeders or personal home pages, except in cases of unique particular source material
Have more than one or two sentences in each section. If a section is that short, the article should probably just be a unbroken paragraph and is probably a stub.
