Neuroma

I wanted to thank you for your improvements to the Neuroma article. If you haven't already, you might want to pop in at Wikipedia:WikiProject Clinical medicine and say hello. --Arcadian 19:59, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Robert Cook (veterinarian)

Thank you for creating this article. One concern I have is that the article does not say why this person is notable. Can you expand on the entry to indicate this, or else say why the person is notable in the talk page for the article? --Zippy 01:02, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

(re response on my talk page) Thank you for the information. --Zippy 22:22, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

An article should not be in a category and its subcategory

Hi Alex, I see you have put several articles back in the Horse category. Please read this link carefully. It reads An article should not be in both a category and its subcategory, for example Microsoft Office is in Category:Microsoft software, so should not also be in Category:Software. If you have a look at all the articles within the horses category you will see that there are virtually no articles, if any, within a category and a sub-category. It is important to stick to this or it all just ends up as a big jumble. I have thus taken the articles Laminitis, Jaime Jackson, Barefoot horses, Barefoot horse movement & Hiltrud Strasser back out of the horse category. I am really enthusiastic about your articles that you have written but I think it is important that they go in the right place. I think we should replace your Category:Horse care with one called Category:Horse management which would fit in well with all the other horse subcategories with less overlap.

Orohippus

Hi, I'm not abot to get to that link you gave me. Do you think it's a copywrite violation? I wish I could see the page. Remember a lot of sites copy material from Wikipedia, so make sure that's not the case. I'll try to access that site from my home computer later, but all I get now is a Yahoo! page not found notice. Please let me know if you are saying it's a copyvio, cause I will need to tend to it if it is. --DanielCD 14:35, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi again. I went back through the article and found soume sources, including one with the same wording. I added that and two other references, so now all the material is referenced. I'm going to work on it some more as I have time today.

I am to blame for any vios in this case. I did this article when I was still a newby. I should have referenced it. I know better now. Thanks for pointing that out, and do let me know if you find any others so I can fix them too. --DanielCD 14:55, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry I made more work for you. At least the articles will be of much higher quality than the older ones! Cheers! --DanielCD 19:37, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Trot_barefoot..jpg

Hi! I used your excellent picture http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Trot_barefoot..jpg for illustration of the main article of edition 364 of my online horse magazine. See http://pferdezeitung.com/364.06/Regeln_der_Wissenschaft - it deals with the open letter of Prof. Cook regarding Strasser's work on hoof care. Thanks a lot! --WernerPopken 02:11, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

EBPOV and CPOV

Alex, read through your comments about EBPOV and CPOV, Flaubert and Schopenhauer. My Italian is attrocious, too bad to navigate Italian wiki, but I'd like to explore the ideas you have, especially Received Ideas Could you drop the books you are using as beginning references into my discussion page, and I'll start to take a bit of a look through. Domhail 23:03, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Next round

Alex, I translated the statements of Heymering for this issue [1] and drew some material from Marjorie Smith and Pete Ramey. A reader from Argentina told me about Marjorie's site and noticed that you translated it. As an illustration for the first section I took your portrait. Thanks! --WernerPopken 02:19, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Laminitis

I would suggest you contact a vet called John Stewart and ask him to review the information. He is passionate about Laminitis and his website is www.johnthevet.co.uk. His website is also linked in the external links. Explain to him about wikipedia and why you need his help and he will probably be keen. Cheers Malcolm Morley 16:22, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your message on my usertalk page. Greetings! I am willing to help with the English proff-reading of an article on laminitis. However, if you want the article 'on air', I suggest you keep very low key on POV (i.e. keep assertions down). There appear to be loads of people out there who wreck contentious articles with POV wars, so that nothing can get done. - Ballista 13:46, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

I've made a start on the Horse hoof article and left you a question on the 'talk/discussion' page. - please read my edits and comment. - Ballista 05:47, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

This is very interesting, John Stewart is the name of the third (or was it fourth?) Green Lantern, and Jon Stewart is a very popular comedian newscaster.

Horse hoof copy edit

Hi Alex - Sorry this has taken me so long - I hope you like the result. I see that there have been lots of edits, since you asked me to do it but there was plenty left for me to do! I hope you are keeping well. - Ballista 17:44, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Laminitis

I also did this one! - Ballista 17:46, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Are you OK?

I note that you have not been active lately - I hope you're OK? - Ballista 01:42, 9 August 2006 (UTC) I'm delighted that you are well. I've removed the tag from the 'hoof' article. Good to hear from you; keep up the good work! - Ballista 05:18, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Name changed on template

{{Barefoot horse user}} has been renamed to {{User Barefoot Horse}} to conform to naming traditions for userboxes. --Durin 12:47, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi from Canadian barefooter!

I had no idea about the alternative use of barefooter in equestrianship, I use it to refer that I am mostly in bare feet all day, even when outside. Feel free to take the article for the horse if it is more common and in demand. I just couldn't think of what to call someone who goes sans-shoes. Although, if I may, wouldn't barehoofer be more appropriate? :p Tyciol 17:40, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Signature test

--Alex_brollo Talk|Contrib 07:09, 12 September 2006 (UTC)  : that's OK!

Barefoot and NPOV

Hi,

You wrote<<looking for some open-minded user of shod horses to discuss some NPOV issues about shoeing and barefoot horses movement.>>

I haven't had a reason to put set of shoes on any of my horses for about three years now, and usually don't shoe anything except under a few circumstances where I believe it to be necessary, so while I don't call myself a "barefooter," (I think sometimes shoes do have their place, just not as often as a lot of other people think) and I don't particularly like to align myself too heavily with any one school, movement or group when it comes to horses... I do think I am in a really good position to look at things in terms of what is NPOV. I also find it a fun challenge to find ways to say controversial things in a way that satisfies all sides. So yes, feel free to chat about the issue...your talk page, my talk page, a barefoot article talk page, just say where! If you'd like to have me look at an article for style tweaks, just say which one. Montanabw 20:43, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Alex, I wanted to let you know I have removed the POV tag from Barefoot horse and hope you will approve of the contributions I have been making there recently. --AeronM (talk) 01:53, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Merge templates

The date syntax is: {{Merge|other arguments|date=August 2007}}, but if you leave the date off it will be added by a WP:BOT. Rich Farmbrough, 13:45 29 August 2007 (GMT).

Incategory

You are correct in your observations of incategory. The problem is that search does a character search of the text in the page only. Anything that is added by template does not end up in the search results. I've been pushing for a much broader adoption of category intersection for several years, but it doesn't seem to be happening. I've talked about this personally with Brian Vibber, Jimmy Wales, and others. Everyone wants this to happen, but the problem is creating a way to do it that is fast enough. Used broadly, category intersection would put too much of a load on the servers. The discussed solutions have often involved using a text search to speed things up. This would not solve the problems of categories being added by template.

Does CatScan do what you'd like? I am not familiar with its full capabilities and limitations. --☑ SamuelWantman 19:28, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Sorry I don't understand the comments you left on my talk page. Could you take another look at them? -- ☑ SamuelWantman 02:09, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
