Rodeo article[edit]

I thought I would drop you a line here, as well as on the Rodeo article, as a courtesy. You're were of course 100% correct, I didn't even notice that I was removing a perfectly fine source, while I was removing the non-neutral source, sorry about that.

QPQ?[edit]

Saw your RPM article and reviewed it. I just put up Corey Lanerie (amazing someone who's been a jockey for 25 years didn't have a WP article...) if you need a qpq for your next project... Montanabw ^(talk) 03:58, 7 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't need one right now, but thanks. It's nice to have a jockey article to look at on Derby Day... White Arabian Filly ^Neigh 20:02, 7 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nyquist[edit]

Nyquist won the Kentucky Derby! Upon his undefeatable title. Horsegeek^(talk) 00:57, 8 May 2016 (UTC)Horsegeek[reply]

I watched the race and it was exciting. The wreck in the turf race before the Derby was freaky but at least nobody was hurt. It was a good day overall. White Arabian Filly ^Neigh 15:16, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Life[edit]

Where would a horse burial place go on an article? I found Supreme Sultan's burial place. Where would it go? Horsegeek^(talk) 01:05, 12 May 2016 (UTC)Horsegeek[reply]

It would probably go at the end of the life section, after the information about his death. I've written stuff like, "He died on July 20, 2005, after suffering colic complications. He is buried on the farm." You can see how I wrote about it in Strolling Jim and Imperator (horse). White Arabian Filly ^Neigh 20:10, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. What about if a statue was made of him? Horsegeek^(talk) 22:33, 12 May 2016 (UTC)Horsegeek[reply]

I would probably note that either with the burial, if the statue was over the grave, or maybe in a legacy section if it was somewhere else. White Arabian Filly ^Neigh 20:11, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Last question I should've asked you before, where would I put the info about a miniature statue (figurine) made about him? Horsegeek^(talk) 20:50, 13 May 2016 (UTC)Horsegeek[reply]

Probably in the same place as a regular, full size statue. On Midnight Sun (horse) you can see how I wrote about the statue they made of him. I think they made a Breyer horse of Snowman (horse) too. If they made it after he died it would go after the coverage of his death, but if they made it before it would go in chronological order with the rest of his life.

I have a Breyer of Midnight Sun and one of Man o' War (I collected a crapload of Breyers as a kid in the 1970s). There are some weird rules on WP about photos of toys, which are subject to copyright and need a fair use rationale. They clearly allow toy images with a fair use rationale to illustrate articles about the toy itself, but I'm not sure about toys that were made as an image of a real individual (horse or human) I'm going to ask over at the talk page of the fair use board what their take is on using it. Stay tuned, or stalk my contribs to see what kind of answers I'm getting. Montanabw ^(talk) 17:22, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ooh! I'm jealous! I have Breyers too, but mine are either unidentified or the Mustangs from Spirit, Stallion of the Cimarron. (Although there is one black Saddlebred that may be Harlem Globetrotter (horse), and another Saddlebred that might be Sprinkles). White Arabian Filly ^Neigh 20:04, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A little help?[edit]

I'm confused....? TTemplate:Did you know nominations/Supreme Sultan Something about my username? Horsegeek^(talk) 17:16, 24 May 2016 (UTC)Horsegeek[reply]

I think it's how you typed the username. You don't have to link it or add the talk link when you fill in the "article creator" thing, you just type it like this:

Page author= Horsegeek

The software fills in the links by itself. If that's not it, it could be a bot error. Your DYK of Flim Flam was fine so I don't think there's a problem with your name itself. White Arabian Filly ^Neigh 20:08, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Userbox[edit]

How do you make a userbox? I found an easy site that shows you how, I just can't get the picture to fit. Horsegeek^(talk) 23:25, 25 May 2016 (UTC)Horsegeek[reply]

NVM, after all this time, I finally take the time to figure it out.

This user loves Knabstruppers and their coats.

Horsegeek^(talk) 00:36, 26 May 2016 (UTC)Horsegeek[reply]

It looks good to me! You just have to size the picture by adding a pipe| after the file name and adding 50px or 60px. White Arabian Filly ^Neigh 01:21, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Midnight Sun (horse)[edit]

The article Midnight Sun (horse) you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Midnight Sun (horse) for comments about the article. Well done!
