Talk:Equestrian events at the Summer Olympics

message: The RankedMedalTable with the 'class=wikitable sortable' parameter should not have rowspan,
becouse it will screw up the table when one tries to sort it.
One solution could be the repeatition of ranks for ties:

thread_title: Medal table

message: The 1956 events were not just held in Stockholm, but were held several months prior to the actual Olympic Games and they even featured a completely different medal design. Is this worth noting in the article, or should this just be mentioned in the 1956 equestrian event article? Joey80 (talk) 03:07, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  1956 Equestrian 

message: Equestrian being an adjective, one wonders what intended noun has been intended. The tortured phrase displayed on Wikipedia's Main Page ...United States' last military delegation to equestrian at the Summer Olympics... (a verb?) should have alerted editors that the title of this article needs work.--Wetman (talk) 16:59, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  "Equestrian" ''what''? 

message: I'm struggling to understand what is and is not included in the medal table.
If one considers the three Olympic Equestrian Disciplines (Eventing, Showjumping and Dressage) since 1912 there can be a maximum of 132 medals of each colour (1 per team and 1 individual over 3 disciplines over 22 games). In fact there were no team showjumping medals awarded in 1932 (so minus 1 of each), there was no bronze medal awarded in team eventing in 1932 either (minus 1 bronze) and there was no team dressage competition held in 1912, 1920, 1924 or 1960 (minus 4 of each).
This suggests that the columns in the medal table should add up to a maximum of Gold - 127, Silver - 127, Bronze - 126
I don't think the medals for Polo, Vaulting and Prizejumping should be included  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.9.201.212 (talk) 11:44, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: There is longstanding consensus here that if an event (such as Polo or long jumping) was once in the Olympics and medals awarded, then it needs to be included here so the history is complete.  Montanabw(talk) 03:35, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Not entirely accurate, actually, as we don't count things like Equestrian at the 1900 Summer Olympics – Mail coach, for instance.  We generally include the events that the IOC has in its medallist database.  The vaulting and jumping events are in there, which is why we include them.  The polo results should probably be removed from this page, as polo is a separate sport (with a separate page). -- Jonel (Speak to me) 03:59, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, if polo was once recognized, it DOES involve horses.  I suppose that begs the question of where we put things like Modern pentathlon, which also involves horses, then, but let's keep chatting.  Montanabw(talk) 19:38, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Polo was considered a separate sport, and has its own pages (Polo at the Summer Olympics). High jumping, long jumping and vaulting were official Olympic sports and were considered part of the "equestrian" section, which now is made up of three-day eventing, dressage and showjumping. Mail coach and mixed hacks and hunters were unofficial exhibition classes, not official Olympic competitions. See List of Olympic medalists in equestrian for a more detailed, better sourced listing of medalists. Dana boomer (talk) 19:48, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe that skijoring was also an exhibition sport.  Has reining advanced to exhibition status yet?  And, at any rate, do we want to note any of this in the article?   Montanabw(talk) 22:00, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: It should probably be noted someplace. Was the skijoring using dogs, horses or vehicles? Don't know if reining has advanced to exhibition status... Dana boomer (talk) 23:13, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Values of each discipline in three day 

message: It appears that 25% or 27% of the openly GLBT competitors at the 2016 Summer Olympics are in the Equestrian field.  Interesting.  I'm not sure it is relevant to this article.  But it is a huge percentage in one very small sport.  What do others think?  T-bonham (talk) 08:45, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Hm.  You didn't watch Men's synchronized diving, apparently. As for the rest, do you have a citation for that?  Montanabw(talk) 07:11, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Still, wasn't there one year when every man on the US dressage team was gay? I also remember reading an article online, where the  (straight male) writer said that was great for the LGBT community, but had a very valid point that it was discouraging straight teenagers, particularly straight boys, from getting into the sport because others might see them as gay.

replies: text: Not certain, but pretty much an article of faith, I think!  LOL!  Well, for the straight boys, there's always rodeo!  And horse racing for the short ones!  In the Arabian show world, the saddle seat crowd also is probably quite LGBT-friendly too.   Montanabw(talk) 05:12, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: Equestrian at the Summer Olympics →  – This was moved, correctly as far as I can see, to Equestrianism at the Summer Olympics and then moved back. Our article title policy is clear that an article title is under normal circumstances always a noun.For reference, the full text of that section is "Use nouns: Nouns and noun phrases are normally preferred over titles using other parts of speech; such a title can be the subject of the first sentence. One major exception is for titles that are quotations or titles of works: A rolling stone gathers no moss, or "Try to Remember". Adjective and verb forms (e.g. elegant, integrate) should redirect to articles titled with the corresponding noun (Elegance, Integration), although sometimes they are disambiguation pages, like Organic and Talk. Sometimes the noun corresponding to a verb is the gerund (-ing form), as in Swimming." 'Equestrian' can be a noun, but makes no sense as one in this context; here it is an adjective. I propose a change in the title from 'Summer Olympics' to 'Summer Olympic Games' because that is the title of our article, but no objection to Equestrianism at the Summer Olympics if that is preferred. If the page is moved, all dependent pages such as Equestrian at the 2004 Summer Olympics should be moved to match. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 13:29, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

text: * Also, at WT:SPORTS, "Equestrian events at..." and "Equestrian sports at..." have been suggested as alternatives. I have notified that WikiProject. And it isn't an uncontroversial move, not least because the title isn't agreed upon, so it's perfectly fine to be reverted and then a RM started. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:42, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
