Next Good Article candidate So what s the next article you want to work up to GA status I actually LIKE writing footnotes and finding sources for stuff I enjoyed finding citations and sources for the stuff in the Horse article last night Might as well add my services to whatever you re working on next Talk Well given your area of interest why not American Quarter Horse Dlh Stablelignts has been doing some tremendously good work on Gelding also and so while the veterinary sections are pretty good the rest of it could benefit from some additional sourcing though I did a lot of updating and fixing of what was there originally That might be another possibility Morgan horse could get there with some SERIOUS work Have you looked over the criteria yet Briefly I looked them over I recall that they need lots of citations in depth and with enough pictures diagrams to make things easy to understand for the non initiate I m sure there is a lot more I ve got books on the vet or training side of things but not as many as on horse bloodlines and breed history You ve obviously been working hard on things with the horses and I figured I d rather work with you than have everyone sorta scattered all over working on sixteen different articles Concentrating on a couple would probably make the work easier and quicker I would think Of course I m still new at this but I know my editing is helped when someone else checks over it Quarter horse might be a bit TOO much honestly I d have to fight hard to not put in all sorts of tidbits on the older horses from before the registry formed and the history of the controversies behind the registry and well you get the idea Oddly enough given my Quarter horse interests I own Arabians grins so I d love to see the Arabian article make Featured but I m scared to ask how much work that would take Anyway now that I ve babbled I m more than happy to watch you work and help however I can Certainly don t want to work at cross purposes Talk The internet is my friend on a lot of breed stuff most generic horse books actually are quite poor sources with huge inaccuracies The breed registry web sites are often much better though they aren t above POV at least four different breeds claim to be the descendants of Bucephalus which is a wholly unverifiable claim You want an easy job go to List of horse breeds and take a red link to make a new article Most in there are stubs and need expansion some are red links that aren t even real breeds For example you don t want to see the can of whoopa I open when people start claiming that the Egyptian Arabian is a different breed BTW grin so checking the horse stubs is always a way to find new mischief Somehow I got drug into editing on Marwari horse don t ask me how I got Arabian horse pretty much to GA status singlehandedly but it took awhile editing it from a disaster of anti Arabian POV to GA status over a period of several months learning all the way My panic about putting it up for FA I actually think it s almost there is more the vandalism patrolling it will entail and the things that the wider world of wiki editors might take issue with for example the controversies section almost all parts of it were inserted to settle some kind of edit war or POV discussion It s needed I m not sure I am ready to put the energy into watchdogging it so that some idiot doesn t totally screw it up or worse yet restart battles that were settled a long time ago Equine nutrition is one I started from scratch and after an initial panic when an admin felt I overdid the copy and paste and slapped a copyviol on it without warning which gave me a really bad couple of days scrambling to get it finished I basically had it ready for GA in about a week with a few contributions from some other editors like
