message: This article is in need of some work. It lacks some citations. I suppose I will add a banner to the article page. If any of you have relevant information on Ruffian, would you mind adding it? Thanks so much! talk 22:23, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Since the entire article seems well-sourced, I've removed the tag. Although the lead can sure use some expansion, leads usually don't require citations.Wi2g 04:08, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

message: The list was a ranking of American horses in an American magazine. It was not a global ranking and should not be presented in such a way. Tigerboy1966  10:19, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: File:Ruffian at Astoria.jpg Nominated for speedy Deletion

message: The second and third sentences of the introductory paragraph are bald-faced opinion. Since the matter is discussed later in the section "Legacy," both sentences should be removed from the lead paragraph.Princetoniac (talk) 20:55, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree the tone is all wrong. The second sentence can be supported by later details and refs, so I'll leave it. The third needs to go, as it's claiming a subjective view as an objective fact. I'll remove it. I have had issues with this article before. There has been a history of well-meaning, but unencyclopedic contributions.  Tigerboy1966  06:42, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Editorializing 

message: I changed "jet-black" to "officially black". This image  showing brown on the muzzle makes it pretty clear that she was actually a dark bay or brown horse. Tigerboy1966  06:20, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

message: So much unreferenced pov material here. The article has been up here for a long time in a pretty sorry state. I am going to strip it down to a stub and do it over again properly unless anyone objects.  Tigerboy1966  19:46, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
