Invite edit

Hi, and welcome! I saw from your contributions you're editing horse articles, so I'd like to invite you to join WikiProject Equine. We can always use more members! 🐎 White Arabian Filly (Neigh) 17:02, 23 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Thanks! Horsegeek(Neigh) (talk) 23:42, 24 January 2016 (UTC)HorsegeekReply

Reference for your draft edit

I found 3 Google books refs for your draft and added them. You can use the same ref many times, so you can use them to add more info in all the sections. ☺ White Arabian Filly (Neigh) 17:13, 25 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Thanks so much White Arabian Filly! Horsegeek(Neigh) (talk) 22:36, 25 January 2016 (UTC)HorsgeekReply

To see how the horse articles are done, there are similar articles on Spanish Mustang and Kiger Mustang. White Arabian Filly (Neigh) 19:32, 26 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

ME TOO edit

I am a horse lover/ sort of geek. I have 3 horses of my own and ride. I ride English and a little bit of western, I jump, as well. I have competed in District and state Horse bowl (nc), and our team won both times. So, ride on fellow horse lover! 😀😄🐴🐎 Kendall Shackelford (talk) 21:04, 29 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hey, that's cool. I have 1 horse and ride mainly western but want to switch to saddle seat. It's always neat to see other horse people on WP! Kendall Shackelford, if you'd like to join WP:WikiProject Equine we'd like to have you. The main jumping article is ok but the ones on the different types of jumps are pretty bad if you're interested in that. There are also a ton of stubs about professional jumpers (horses and people).

DYK edit

I nominated Naborr for DYK here: Template:Did you know nominations/Naborr. All we have to do is wait and see when it gets reviewed and if the reviewer brings up any issues (they shouldn't, but I have it watchlisted). You and Montanabw are listed as cocontributors and if it gets on the main page you can put the   next to it on your userpage. White Arabian Filly (Neigh) 00:32, 12 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, I'll tell Montanabw Horsegeek(talk) 00:49, 12 February 2016 (UTC)HorsegeekReply

I doubt there'll be any issues, but after it gets reviewed it can be a couple of weeks before it gets promoted to the prep area and then from there moved to the main page. I've had 4 articles there already and have 2 or 3 more that should be there before long, they are already nominated and reviewed. On the day it's on the main page we should all get a talk message saying "DYK for Naborr". (I have several of these old ones on my talk page). White Arabian Filly (Neigh) 02:16, 12 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
There might be a few issues, but I'm popping over to do a cleanup and that should improve matters. You might get someone post that they have things you need to address, and I'll help there as well. Montanabw(talk) 23:27, 12 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

UBX edit

I just made two new userboxes you might like, they're {{User:White Arabian Filly/Saddle seat}} and {{User:White Arabian Filly/Akhal-Teke}}. I put them in the regular galleries too. White Arabian Filly (Neigh) 00:51, 13 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

DYK nomination of Naborr edit

  Hello! Your submission of Naborr at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! SusunW (talk) 19:09, 15 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

I think I took care of the issue; it wasn't cited in the middle of a sentence right after a number was given but was cited at the end of the paragraph. White Arabian Filly (Neigh) 19:41, 15 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Apologies edit

It was not my intention to delete the infobox you added. It was my stupidity. For some reason, when I hit "show preview" and saw the infobox you added, I thought maybe I screwed up the code in the template which is why it didn't show all the information. I just wanted to come by and say thank you for adding it, and that it was my mistake for the inadvertent delete rather than expansion of it. Happy editing!! Atsme📞📧 21:02, 14 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

No problem at all. Everyone makes mistakes. :) Horsegeek(talk) 21:22, 14 March 2016 (UTC)HorsegeekReply

Just wanted to mention - your sig looks fine here, but looking at it on other pages, "Horsegeek" appears bright yellow and illegible. Wasn't sure if you were aware. Atsme📞📧 15:43, 22 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

I will request a speedy delete after you've seen it. Atsme📞📧 15:53, 22 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hmm, I'll take a look at preferences. Thanks. Horsegeek Whisper in a horse's ear 22:01, 22 March 2016 (UTC)HorsegeekReply

If you want to keep the yellow, which is sort of tough to see against the white background, you can highlight it in black or some other dark color. I'm not sure how, but I've seen others do that. White Arabian Filly Neigh 22:10, 22 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
Just open the edit window and steal the syntax! LOL! Montanabw(talk) 04:46, 24 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Isn't it fun to see your work on the main page? Do you object if I claim co-nominator credit for it as a DYK for wikicup points? (Doesn't take away your credit at all...) Montanabw(talk) 22:39, 30 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Notice edit

Sorry I have not been on for a long time. I have been seriously busy and my birthday is this upcoming May 10. After, I may be able to edit more. 👍 Horsegeek(talk) 23:04, 26 April 2016 (UTC)HorsegeekReply

That's OK. By the way, happy birthday! 🎁🎂🎈White Arabian Filly Neigh 15:01, 27 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
Yes! Happy early birthday to you, hope to see you editing again soon! Montanabw(talk) 00:40, 1 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

The Kentucky Derby is tomorrow! [1] White Arabian Filly Neigh 20:24, 6 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

I know! Saw it advertise! So excited! Sorry I couldn't answer sooner. Electricity went out. Those horses are carrying a lot of pounds! Horsegeek(talk) 20:56, 6 May 2016 (UTC)HorsegeekReply

I think that the weight limit is 126 pounds for a colt, 121 for a filly, and that includes the jockey, saddle and everything. The jockeys have to be very light. The horses themselves weigh probably one thousand to one thousand and two hundred pounds. The horses make the jockeys look even smaller. 🏇 White Arabian Filly Neigh 21:24, 6 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I'm pretty sure it's 126 pounds for a colt. Who are you rooting for? Horsegeek(talk) 21:29, 6 May 2016 (UTC)HorsegeekReply

I really don't know, though I like Nyquist. My favorite Derby was when Mine That Bird won because he was a long shot and had such a good story. White Arabian Filly Neigh 22:01, 6 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
yes, 126 pounds... given that I passed that point many years ago, I'd say they are doing just fine.... LOL! Did you see the movie about Mine That Bird, 50 to 1? You can stream it on Amazon now... Calvin Borel plays himself and they use some of the actual race footage. Fun horse movie for us horse geekery sorts! (better done than the Secretariat movie, actually, IMHO, a few weak spots, but wayyyyy less Disneyfied!) Montanabw(talk) 19:31, 8 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Nyquist edit

Nyquist has the same exact birthday as me (not the year). I just barely noticed. Horsegeek(talk) 20:30, 17 May 2016 (UTC)HorsegeekReply

Sultan edit

Hope you don't mind that I took a whack at Supreme Sultan. I was going to review it for DYK for you, but saw it had some problems that would work against it passing, so decided to just go in and fix them. I figured out which sources verified what on all but one thing, which still has a [citation needed] tag. I also did some copyediting and fixed assorted content. Feel free to change or discuss anything that didn't work. This is a cool article and definitely a horse that should have a WP article! (Actually, that book on the horses buried at the Kentucky Horse Park is a gold mine for more!) Montanabw(talk) 06:31, 26 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Of course I don't mind Montanabw! I'm just a bit stuck on the DYK now. Horsegeek(talk) 16:45, 26 May 2016 (UTC)HorsegeekReply

We'll get 'er done! Montanabw(talk) 23:08, 27 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Incomplete DYK nomination edit

  Hello! Your submission of Template:Did you know nominations/Supreme Sultan at the Did You Know nominations page is not complete; see step 3 of the nomination procedure. If you do not want to continue with the nomination, tag the nomination page with {{db-g7}}, or ask a DYK admin. Thank you. DYKHousekeepingBot (talk) 11:56, 26 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

In order to fix this, if you haven't already, all you have to do is go to the DYK nompage and scroll down to the section titled with the date you did the move. At the top of that section, type:
{{Did you know nominations/Supreme Sultan}}

And save it. That's if you haven't done it already. Don't worry, I forgot about it on my first DYKs too. White Arabian Filly Neigh 20:29, 26 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Ohh, thanks White Arabian Filly! Horsegeek(talk) 21:25, 26 May 2016 (UTC)HorsegeekReply

DYK for Supreme Sultan edit

On 30 May 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Supreme Sultan, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Supreme Sultan was immortalized with a bronze statue at Kentucky Horse Park? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Supreme Sultan. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Supreme Sultan), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

User:Horsegeek/Hequ Horse Was wondering if this article looks okay so far. Thanks for any advice. Horsegeek(talk) 15:55, 7 July 2016 (UTC)HorsegeekReply

You could use a few more sources, but overall it looks really good to me! White Arabian Filly Neigh 20:44, 7 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Thanks White Arabian Filly! Horsegeek(talk) 21:37, 7 July 2016 (UTC)HorsegeekReply

I'll do a run-through as if I were a DYK or GAN reviewer and tag my thoughts. That said, I agree that you probably could get to prime time with it. When you do, be sure to add the article to List of horse breeds. Montanabw(talk) 03:00, 8 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
  • Follow up: It is a looooong way from prime time now. The material is clearly cut-and-pasted from sources, as evidenced by the mangled English (only non-English speakers say "race" when they mean "breed"-- that's a dead giveaway). Copyvio is also a big deal on wikipedia and it is important to run the Earwig tool before going live too (here: https://tools.wmflabs.org/copyvios/) It has to be rewritten in normal English and in your own words. Also, be careful to note that the Chinese love to "spin" things from Tibet as being forever and ever part of China, it's a political hot potato that needs to be handled carefully. Also figure that you want to have at least one footnote per paragraph, minimum, and best to footnote everything to the source it came from. You'll get there. Also maybe look at the guidelines for horse breed articles here: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Equine/Horse_breeds#Structure_of_Articles I'm glad to help you as needed. Montanabw(talk) 04:03, 8 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
  • Thanks for the advice Montanabw. It was copied and pasted the writer of the french article gave me permission, but I was eventually going to put it in my own words. And yes, I do need to learn how to use footnotes. I'll look at that link you gave me. Horsegeek(talk) 15:28, 8 July 2016 (UTC)HorsegeekReply
    • Yeah, even copying directly within wiki is not OK, though if you look at the talk page of Carl Raswan or you can see how to properly acknowledge a partial translation. The way I learned to do a lot of editing was to copy the formatting and syntax on good and featured articles. For a shorter breed article like this will be, take a look at Suffolk Punch or Kerry Bog Pony for ideas. Montanabw(talk) 19:20, 8 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
      • I got help from another editor, telling me it was okay to copy and paste, as long as I added the credits in the external links, or talk page. Thanks Montanabw and White Arabian Filly! Horsegeek(talk) 23:26, 3 November 2016 (UTC)HorsegeekReply

Would this be cool? edit

Discovered that Lexington (horse) was not about Sherman's Lexington, the American Saddlebred ridden by William Tecumseh Sherman during the American Civil War. There's probably enough source material to do an article about him. (We have Traveller (horse), Blueskin and Nelson (horse) as examples.) If it sounds like a fun topic to you, it's a redlink...  ;-) Montanabw(talk) 23:53, 23 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

That does sound intriguing, Montanabw! Thanks for bringing it up, I've just been so stressed lately, couldn't ever get time to come on. I'll look into it. :) Horsegeek(talk) 01:29, 27 January 2017 (UTC)HorsegeekReply

Okay, Montanabw been looking through it, and there's some interesting stuff. He seems like a real interesting horse, and honestly, too much for me to handle. I could never do it alone, but maybe if I create an draft about him, everyone can look of the sources known about him and put in things from time to time? I believe this is one about him? Intrigues me. Horsegeek(talk) 00:14, 2 February 2017 (UTC)HorsegeekReply
A sandbox draft would be great! That Chicago Trib article is interesting, but is odd because they name that horse "Sam" and claim he was part-Thoroughbred. But who knows? Reporters don't always get it right... and a lot of these guys had multiple horses. Montanabw(talk) 07:04, 5 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
K, I made a draft. User:Horsegeek/Sherman's Lexington I'm also gonna ping White Arabian Filly and Atsme. Horsegeek(talk) 17:01, 6 February 2017 (UTC)HorsegeekReply

Wikipedia Asian Month 2017: Invitation to Participate edit

 

Hello! Last year, you signed up to participate in Wikipedia Asian Month (WAM) 2016 on the English Wikipedia. The event was an international success, with hundreds of editors creating thousands of articles on Asian topics across dozens of different language versions of Wikipedia.

I'd like to invite you to join us for Wikipedia Asian Month 2017, which once again lasts through the month of November. The goal is for users to create new articles on Asian-related content, each at least 3,000 bytes and 300 words in length. Editors who create at least four articles will receive a Wikipedia Asian Month postcard!

Also be sure to check out the Wikipedia Asian Art Month affiliate event - creating articles on Asian art topics can get you a Metropolitan Museum of Art postcard!

If you're interested, please sign up here for the English Wikipedia. If you are interested in also working on other language editions of Wikipedia, please visit the meta page to see other participating projects. If you have any questions, please visit our talk page.

Thank you!

- User:SuperHamster and User:Titodutta on behalf of The English Wikipedia WAM Team

This will be the last message you receive from the English Wikipedia WAM team for being a 2016 participant. If you sign up for WAM 2017, you will continue receiving periodic updates on the 2017 event.

Happy Holiday Greetings edit

 
Me:I was going to serve yams with Thanksgiving dinner, but I sat on them. Mom: What are you serving now?
Me: Squash.
Wishing You A Happy Turkey Day!
A Thanksgiving tale...

Two pilgrims go out hunting. One has two blunderbusses (guns).
The second pilgrim queries, “Why two blunderbusses?”
The first pilgrim responds, “I usually miss on the first shot; with two I can shoot again”.
The second pilgrim pauses, then asks, “Why not just take the second one, and only shoot once?”

LOL! Thank you Atsme! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!! Horsegeek(talk) 22:09, 26 November 2017 (UTC)HorsegeekReply

Time To Spread A Little
Happy Holiday Cheer!!
I decorated a special kind of Christmas tree
in the spirit of the season.

What's especially nice about
this digitized version:
*it doesn't need water
*won't catch fire
*and batteries aren't required.
Have a very Merry Christmas

and a prosperous New Year!!

That's fine, I have been busy too. Everything is good, I have been healthy and haven't had the flu. I have been trying to do new pages patrol and article creation when I get time for Wikipedia. White Arabian Filly Neigh 00:00, 22 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.
