replies: text: As long as the redirect is in place, and the capitalization follows Wikipedia conventions (i.e. Flying lead change) Most people use the colloquial form, "flying change," so my guess is that is the most common search phrase, hence the importance of good redirects.

thread_title: Title

message: The lead refers to the foreleg.  The hind legs may not conform, as in the disunited canter and gallop.  Dr. James Rooney discusses in one of his books that many race horses use a disunited gallop at the start of races, and that this appears to give them slightly more acceleration.  --Una Smith (talk) 23:24, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: A disunited canter or gallop cannot have a "lead."  To be a "lead" required both front and hind, else it is a disunited gait. If you say "leaping gait," however biomechanically correct that is, you will confuse everyone with non-standard usage.  I suggest you take this to the wikiproject (as I see you have done) before going further.  Montanabw(talk) 23:53, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Half-pass

message: I wonder if this picture is a good choice to demonstrate the movement because of the lacking bend. However the crossing of the outer hind-leg is convincing, and so is another detail which my riding teacher, nabil, always lays emphasis on (and which I cannot finde in the German Federation's rules): the rider's leg is pointing into the direction of travelling, i.e. to the marker. --Auguste Bolte (talk) 15:32, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it's adequate.  When you read different texts, there seems to be room for both straightness and a slight bend in the direction of travel.  I'd say that due to the presence of some differences of opinion, it's within the range of acceptable form.  Absent a shot from the Olympics or something, I'm content with it, anyway.  Montanabw(talk) 02:50, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

text: Not straight, precisely, but with only a slight bend.  I'm thinking my source may have been Wynmalen or else Podhajsky, but I'd have to dig for the books.  Where I am from, there's a huge problem with people overbending the neck and thinking it's correct.  Montanabw(talk) 02:21, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

text: "Serpentine" (note spelling) is a more appropriate term than "zig-zag" when it comes to describing a sophisticated pattern of movement with change of direction.  It's the way it's usually phrased in the rules, at least in American English.  "Zig-Zag" more commonly refers to a design on paper, or suggests movement with sharp, abrupt turns rather than smooth, controlled changes of direction.  It's a matter of linguistic nuance, but "serpentine" Is the proper term for the pattern we are discussing here. ;-)   Montanabw(talk) 23:11, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

text: That is a point.  But either way, the pattern you refer to is called a "counter change of hand" in the USEF rule book. ("Bahnfigur" probably is most close to "school figures" in English -- at least that's what they call a precise pattern in figure skating)  "At the counter-change of hand the rider should make his horse straight an instant before changing direction. When for instance at counter-change of hand at half-pass to either side of the center line the number of meters or strides to either side is prescribed in the test, it must be strictly observed and the movement be executed symmetrically."  (Neither the word "serpentine" nor the word "zigzag" (pr zig-zag) is used to describe the pattern.)  USEF dressage rules mention serpentines to describe half-voltes, so your comment on loops fits that movement, but they don't use the word "zigzag" ANYWHERE.   I'm out in a rural area on a slow dialup connection at the moment, and so the FEI rules are not coming up for me tonight... but my thinking is to explain the pattern the way the English versions of national or international rules describe it, rather than trying to translate from German.  Montanabw(talk) 06:50, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

text: It helps to provide a live link, I got a 404 error.  But you did correctly cite the rule here, it needs refinement in the text, which I tweaked.  Montanabw(talk) 17:06, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Photos

message: unfortunately, mr. nabil dahan found a mistake in his drawing: he mixes up the footprints of the inner foreleg and the outer hindleg. he'll correct the drawing immediately and we'll insert the revised grafic as soon as possible. --Auguste Bolte (talk) 16:29, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: He would be wise to look in an existing book and cite to his source, as he himself does not appear to be very famous (at least, Googling his name doesn't come up with much).  I recommend people like Wynmalen, Muesler, or someone similar who wrote in English or who was translated into English.  Montanabw(talk) 05:42, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

text: True in part.  However, there is nothing that prevents an editor from doing their own illustration, but citing to a known expert for things such as the statement that the maneuver is performed on four tracks, at a 30-degree angle, etc., particularly when there are also classic works that argue it is to be performed on three tracks, and that sort of thing.

Talk:Lateral movement

message: I believe lateral movements as a physical type of motion are far more important a topic to have this article centred around, either by moving this current topic or by making it a subsection. Lateral movements apply to flight/spaceflight, driving, wave propogation, various forms of sledding, and so many more things that it is insane that there isn't already an article on it or at the very least a description. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 18:36, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I actually think you are correct; this particular article has sort of been languishing within WPEQ and we need to work on it anyway.  My thoughts are as follows:
#Sandbox a article on the physics concept to move into this name when we get everything else below taken care of
#Move this article to the name Lateral flexions, which is the term for equine lateral movements within the dressage world, though not a universal term, or Lateral movement (horse), which would also work.  (I may have to do a wee bit of research to see which term would be preferable, if you can give me a day or two)
#Check the "what links here" to fix where it appears in all the horse articles
#once that is done, move in the physics article to this name, and de-orphan it by finding at least three other articles we can link to here.  Montanabw(talk) 19:18, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Physics 

message: ...before removing the message on top of the article, as is the rule. There's no basis to pretend as if the page should look like a finished and ready thing, as that is misleading to the reader. Loginnigol (talk) 20:57, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Per BRD, the person adding material has the burden to support it.  That said, your tagging is absurd, the article is not at all about physics, it is about equestrianism and the editors on this article have expertise in this area, so it seems ridiculous to tag it for either reason.  That said, note the discussion above; if you think we should move or rename the article so that an article on physics can be created in its place, or if there IS an article on physics elsewhere under a different title and this should be a dab, well, then let's discuss that.  Random tagging is illogical here.  Montanabw(talk) 21:02, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Category talk:Wikipedia bots

message: Hi – I have hundreds of NSF-funded uniquely-designed instructional physics modules on the web at PHYSNET.ORG and there are apparently 136 or so links to those modules in Wikipedia articles by various authors unrelated to me.  A few days ago I was required to move the modules to a different server.  Seeing that people were writing links like 35.9.69.219/HOME/MODULES/PDF_MODULES/M114.PDF, I took the opportunity to make the links independent of the server by using the domain name, so the links in the Wikipedia articles should now be like PHYSNET.ORG/MODULES/PDFMODULES/M114.PDF.  Notice that I also took out the underline, which may be mistaken for a space when an entire link is underlined, and I removed the unused intermediate folder HOME.  The problem is that the module links in Wikipedia articles are now broken.  I could change the links in other peoples’ stuff, one-by-one, probably making errors, or, hopefully, someone has the capability to update them all programatically in one crack.  If so, I would be very grateful! Signell (talk) 02:31, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I just deleted the names of the coaches.  Looking at many other articles on academic competitions at the high school level (NAQT, Partnership for Academic Competition Excellence, etc), the coaches are generally not named.
Further, while I did not delete it, I am not sure an entire list of the current/past years qualifiers is a good idea per WP:NOT.  This list is of short term interest, and is not encyclopedic information.  Rather than go after it, en masse, I thought I would give some time to generate discussion, but I am not sure how easy it would be to defend keeping it.

replies: text: The way I've seen it done, the horse trained to touch your stirrup with its nose, but with light touch on the rein, may be a variant of stretching out, but when I've seen ROllkur, it's usually done with contact and more force.  I'm of a mixed view on the benefit of stretching and asking for release; some forms are, I think, helpful.  The Rollkur variant seems to lead to the horse HOLDING a stress position, though.  Not 100% certain I am correct on this, however.   Definitely the way I see people run around breed shows with draw reins on a western curb bit is a rollkur variant, though!

text: Well, that's why I suggest you go over to read wikipedia's guidelines/policies on verifiability of sources and citation of sources.  I think that will clarify things quite a bit.  There are some differences of opinion out there even in the guidelines, but all are unanimous that wikipedia information must be verified by reliable outside sources...wikipedia as a source for wikipedia is simply circular verification and as such, not worth much.  However, you CAN pull the source material used in the other articles into this one.  And I am also going to go hunting for a little tag we can use here on the talk page to let people know that a foreign language wiki was used as a base for some of the information  (see the article Carl Raswan for an example of an article taken almost completely from German wikipedia, some day I will need to source it better with English language sources, but at least it's been translated).  As for 2)  If the image is in wikimedia commons, no problem adding it here too, it's a good one.  However, it may have copyright problems, looks like permission is pending.  All wikis are a bit fussy that way.  (Sometimes I just  give up and make my own images or take my own pictures! Sigh...)  Montanabw(talk) 04:12, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
