I thought the Chinese symbol for 'Year of the
Dog' was 戌, as apposed to 狗, which just means '
Dog'. I could be wrong though. Could somebody please verify which is correct.

I believe yours is correct. Although taking into consideration that there's two different kinds of scriptures (simple and traditional), I wouldn't be surprised if both are correct.

No, it's not correct. 狗 is what we use for year of the
Dog. If you do google image search you will see 狗 on all artwork. Pleas leave this symbol alone. —The preceding

Yes, 戌 is the correct character, as per the corresponding wiki pages in chinese and japanese. Changing to match the consensus of the other language wiki.

No, the current character is wrong. None of the discussions here are informed or relevant. Google searches do not constitute legitimate research, nor do other incorrect wikipedia pages. Furthermore, I would not trust the esteemed opinion of one who does not know the difference between "fan ti zi" (complicated) and "jian ti zi" (simplified) characters. Please revert it to 狗 as soon as possible.

Why do you always provide arguments without even knowing the language? You could easily spread misinformation. First of all, there are no differences between traditional and simplified, they are not the same character. Even someone who doesn't know the language can see that both characters look nothing alike. Traditional and simplified are not entirely different scripts. 狗 means "
Dog", the animal and the year because the year is named after the animal. How can't you get that? 戌 is one of the twelve
Earthly Branches, this one corresponding to the Year of the
Dog. Each Earthly Branch can be connected to one of the ten
Celestial stems, resulting in 60 combinations. One cycle has sixty year and each year has its own properties althought there are only 12 animals. This is the
Sexagenary cycle. --

Since no one protested and I agree with you, I boldly went ahead and created the Category
Category:List_of_Celebrities_(Chinese_Zodiac) and the subcategories for each sign. I'm currently adding the categories to the current Year of the
Dog celebrities (I will remove the section afterwards, replacing it with a link).
Now, it would be great if you and all the other regulars (Maestro, VeronicaPR, IrishPearl etc.) would each take a Zodiac Sign and do the same, since it would take ages to do this alone. Teshik 12:18, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Split contested, candidate for deletion
Hrmpf. In the very minute I finally got the
Dog article finished, the new categories were put up into the Deletion candidates. Go
here for details, and please tell if you want the categories kept, deleted, or if you got another suggestion entirely. I've stopped editing for now.

I have factual links that tell you the meaning of the
Chinese zodiacDog, etc.
They are not advertising anything personal. I feel they may help the site.
If you do not believe so. They were previously posted on two articles.
I want to combine them and post them on each horoscope, Including this one.
