Category talk:Cattle-drawn carriages in India

Chicken or egg?

Cattle cannot be a subcat of ox, oxen are cattle. --E4024 (talk) 15:48, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

Well, its about boys and girls. The usual draught animal is a neutered male called an ox or a bullock depending on one's taste. Somewhere in eastern Europe I found a vehicle drawn by a couple of cows. However India has a special relationship with cattle and it can be hard to tell just which kind of cattle-beast is pulling the vehicle. Having said all that have I misunderstood the question? Oxen should be within cattle, have I got it back to front? Eddaido (talk) 21:37, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

Look, other than the categorization mistakes you commit, IMHO of course, you have a confusion about boys and girls: "Cattle" have nothing to do with that, directly. The "girls" are the cows, and the "boys" are bulls and oxen (some luckier than the other... :) I grew up, after adolescence, in Istanbul, the greatest city of Turkey, but was born in a provincial (countryside) city and was lucky enough to meet all these animals and many more (water buffaloes, for instance, a rare animal in Turkey) at 5 minutes drive from my home.

Could be but pretty sure its not me on one of those horses

Nearer (our) town. This is odd behaviour, my guess would be that his bullocks are newly made obsolete by motor trucks

Eggs . . . Chicken-sexer? (I understand this is a very difficult thing to do, and vital, half the little blighters are a waste of effort and I believe "evaporated" by a small electric fan) Now if I'd known that (you) was all the audience I could pull from all the editors in all the world I would not have needed to say that would I. So I will retract that. Please find me an editor who knows about sacred cows in India. Eddaido (talk) 07:24, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

And about all my categorisation mistakes, I'm trying to untangle horse-drawn vehicles and right now they have other animal-drawn stuff muddled with them which I toss out to a better cat when I find them. I promise to go away when I'm done. I do need input from you on certain aspects and I'll come along to your talk page so you can tell me about your policy in these various matters, when I can fit it in.

Having read of your origins I first wanted to yell me too (no hashtag) (how could I say that) but it was a provincial town (not city) in another, different, fine upstanding first-world country. :-) Eddaido (talk) 07:24, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

Look, judging by your perfect English that I have difficulty in following, you must be an intellectual who is too sophisticated for me to understand correctly. Therefore better do not write on my talk page, unless you learn Turkish before. Coming from the background you seem to come, I'm sure you will speak, read and write my mother tongue better than me in the near future. Until then, please keep the discussion at talk pages of the items, CfDs, DRs, etc. Maybe there will be other people also who give time to these issues. Now I'm going away, with your permission. --E4024 (talk) 07:37, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
