Talk:Horse blanket

message: I added a hatnote to this article:
:For larger U.S. dollar notes prior to 1929, see History of the United States dollar.
The entry "horse blanket" on Wiktionary states:
:(obsolete, slang) currency in the 1800s consisting of large size notes/bills.
At the time I made the edit, the article History of the United States dollar stated:
:In 1929, sizing of the bills was standardized (involving a 25% reduction in their current sizes).
 reverted, with an edit summary "spam".
So I edited the article History of the United States dollar to clarify the connection between the two meanings of the term, using as a citation a print source from the Wiktionary entry:
:In 1929, sizing of the bills was standardized (involving a 25% reduction in their current sizes, compared to the older, larger notes nicknamed "horse blankets"[9]).
Would the hatnote still be considered spam now? Or would I need multiple citations for one word in the other article in order to justify the hatnote? --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 00:00, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the revert may have caught your hatnote with some external link spam by accident. Possibly a simple dab page would work too.  But if you want to just add one hatnote, keep it as short as possible:  something like   There's an ongoing debate over what hatnotes are best for wiki, and that's a debate I try to avoid as much as I can.

replies: text:  after over a week of no replies. I tend to start a disambiguation page once a third alternate meaning shows up, but right now, there are just two (saddle blanket and old US currency). --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 00:07, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think there's enough heartburn over this to just start the dab page now, so I did.  Montanabw(talk) 05:20, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Horses belonging to Knights in Medieval times were fitted with blankets of a sort. What I gather from looking at pictures, there were two types of these "blankets", ceremonial and protective for battle.
I could find no description of these blankets anywhere on the internet including Wikipedia. The only references I could find is pictures.
So, I pose the question: Is this article the appropriate place for someone of knowledge on the subject to post HISTORICAL coverings for horses?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lesiz (talk • contribs) 20:15, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
