Talk:Traveller (horse)

message: I deleted reference to caisson.  Freeman and the Lexington Gazette of 10/21/1870 describe a hearse.  Actually the article had mentioned both a hearse and a caisson, which made no sense.  One or the other, can't have both.  What is source for boots reversed in stirrups?

replies: text: Well, this is embarrassing. I am pretty sure it was in the cited brochure from the Lee Chapel, but I cannot find my copy of it anymore and the Chapel does not have it online. Therefore, I removed the reference to the boots and stirrups and clarified that the casket was riding on the caisson (which is what was informally called the hearse previously). If anyone finds a copy of the brochure, please help us out. Hal Jespersen 00:09, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

message: How does Adams' book equate to further reading? "Traveller" by Adams is a fiction book; the article is about a non-fictional subject. Linking a fictional work in "Further reading" to a non-fictional article is disingenuous, if not out-right unencyclopedic. 71.234.215.133 (talk) 14:56, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

message: I removed the bit about double-L vs single-L spelling in the lead.  It was based on an ngram as a source, which was misinterpreted anyway.  Regardless, it was original research.  The bottom line is that the double-L spelling was more common in contemporary en-US as well as en-UK; but that is also "original research". 2606:A000:1126:28D:E5B5:B088:3A46:1619 (talk) 07:01, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
