Talk:Seattle Slew

message: Something's Wrong with the Color heading in the infobox. Help! --Airplaneman (talk) 03:42, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Something's Amiss 

message: Sorry I can't help with the infobox, but in tightening up the prose I removed the following from the article.
The horse was used as a metaphor for a divorce attonrey in the 15th season of Law & Order.
In popular culture, Seattle Slew is referenced in the 1997 comedy film Liar Liar.  At the climax of the divorce hearing, Jim Carrey's character, the lawyer Fletcher Reede, successfully argues that it does not matter that his client, Samantha Cole (Jennifer Tilly), "has been ridden more times than Seattle Slew" because she was under 18 at the time of signing the prenuptial agreement.
As someone who was jumping up and down on a clubhouse seat at Belmont in '77, I can say that such a nice horse has no need for cruft. Wi2g 18:48, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Trivia

message: The last paragraph says, "Ironically, Smarty Jones (the first undefeated Kentucky Derby winner since Seattle Slew) now occupies his predecessor's former stall." This is not irony, which the Oxford American defines as "a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result." It is simply an interesting fact that Smarty Jones occupies the stall formerly occupied by Seattle Slew. Nicmart (talk) 00:48, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Not Irony 

message: Dick Gordon's The Story interviewed Paula Turner on a program broadcast on May 6, 2011 whom is stated to be the trainer for this horse.  Why is she not listed?
(notation of error by Quasardrake)There is an error in the "Retirement and Legacy" section: It states that Seattle Slew was the only Belmont stakes winner to sire another Belmont Stakes winner. This is not true; Belmont winner Secretariat sired Belmont winner Risen Star, who won the 1988 Belmont in similar fashion as Secretariat, finishing 18 lengths ahead of the field. Announcer Dave Johnson famously called that race "he looks like his daddy at this point!" in the stretch, then "he takes the Belmont just like his daddy did!" as Risen Star came home in the second fastest time in the history of the race (at that point).  QD /Quasardrake (talk) 14:26, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: read it again. It says that he was the only Belmont winner to sire a Belmont winner who in his turn sired a Belmont winner. No error there. Tigerboy1966  14:40, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed.  And though we all know Secretariat is the god of all, FWIW some of the other Triple Crown Winners actually accomplished some significant things.  Montanabw(talk) 00:40, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Story
Talk:Spectacular Bid

message: This was a solid, well-written article. I have added some details and lots of reference material. I also toned it down a little, as there seemed to be a slight bias against the jockey Ronnie Franklin. The contemporary sources seemed to blame Delp as much as Franklin for what happened in the Belmont: (my opinion is that Delp has to take some of the blame: he either gave bad instructions or he chose to employ an unreliable, hot-headed kid in the most important race of the year). I've also put the times in decimals rather than fractions, which I admit is just a personal preference.  Tigerboy1966  20:42, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
Talk:Tiznow

message: I edited out a few statements in the sire section as they didn't seem terribly relevant any more or could not be sourced. Specifically:
*Peppers Pride, the undefeated winner of 19 consecutive races and the 2007 and 2008 New Mexican champion, was bred to Tiznow and was in foal as of May 2009.  
**I removed this as it would appear she miscarried. There is no record of this foal at http://www.pedigreequery.com/progeny/peppers+pride
*Horsemen ranked Tiznow in 2009 among the top seven stallions then at stud. The order was A.P. Indy (b. 1989), Distorted Humor (b. 1993), Smart Strike (b. 1992), Dynaformer (b. 1985), Awesome Again (b. 1994), and finally the "to be pensioned" stallion Dixieland Band.
**Couldn't find a source for this
*There were also some 2006 auction stats that I deleted as they seemed a bit random, and just raised questions: How many sold? How did the prices compare? What are his get selling for now?
*I left out stud fee because its changed over the years but I don't have all the data points. Might be interesting to track this down. I know it decreased last year to $60,000 which is fairly modest for a sire of his accomplishments, but the last few crops have been weaker so...

Talk:Kraken (roller coaster)

message: The article has received a much-needed makeover, with language corrected and sources/review added.
The excessive detail on the ride itself had to be removed as this was WP:NOR, and could also be argued to be WP:TRIVIA. Wikipedia is also not WP:NOTMANUAL. Three images was also excessive for an article this size. That said, I will attempt find more valid information that can be added to help pad it out.

thread_title:  Revamp 

message: Since it appears that Kraken is the latest attraction to get into the virtual-reality craze, park officials decided to plus up the name for this promotion. However, we have no proof to indicate that this change is permanent. In the battle of sources, independent beats WP:PRIMARY, and RCDB retains the Kraken name. If we get information that SeaWorld has no plans of removing VR from the ride, then we can discuss the name change.  --McDoobAU93 18:54, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Death Valley '49ers

message: This article deserves a little "down to earth" barnstar, for being (as far as I can tell) the one and only page which meaningfully links Groom Lake and is nothing whatever to do with conspiracies, aliens, or fancy aircraft.  I've wanted there to be a freestanding "Groom Lake" article (as opposed to just a redirect to Area 51) - this article alone doesn't justify that, but it gives me hope that we'll one day find enough worthwhile non-martian things to say above that little lake that it'll get its own article. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 23:24, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Cobra II

message: Hi.  This is a helpful and concise article, but the following sentences could use work: 
*"It follows, in depth, the invasion itself and the early months of the occupation though summer 2003...
*"Comprehensive and even-handed, the book is widely hailed as the pre-eminent source of information on what actually happened and why, and how the powerful Iraqi insurgency was germinated... 
*"They describe in great detail the meetings, correspondence, and positions of the various actors, including not only the US and Iraq, but other countries across the world as they considered the implications of joining the "Coalition of the Willing"."
I agree that the book's good.  We should easily be able to point to prominent individuals who think so, too. Trovare 23:27, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't understand how this article isn't neutral. I get the impression that it just states a summation of what's in the book and that it has been regarded as a reliable source of information.Y.Pestis 11:41, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I second that.  This seems like a very straightforward summary of this book.  The only different impression I got from reading it was the book seemed to come down harder and more directly on Rumsfeld and Tommy Franks than does this summary.  But whoever flagged this as needing a neutrality check failed to give us a hint as to why.  I'll remove the tag. Mindful of Trovare's suggestion the article could use a reference from a prominent source, I'll add a link to Lawrence D. Freedman's review in Foreign Affairs journal which seems to be typical of the reviews I've seen for the book. -- technopilgrim 05:19, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

text: Agree with Trovare.  Who considers the book comprehensive and even-handed?  Who are those that are hailing it as pre-eminent?  And how many of these people does it take for a critical mass of being "widely" hailed?  How much detail?  I'm sure at least one reviewer has said some of these things: let's cite those.  See WP:WEASEL for further details on what I mean.  PS: I'm in the process of getting the book this week, and therefore am not trying to praise or criticize the book but merely to improve the article.  Kelvinc (talk) 10:16, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
