thread_title:  "Man o' War won easily by seven lengths in the first horserace to be filmed in its entirety"? 

message: Shouldn't the term "Man o' War" direct to the article about the ship category? or at least to the disambiguation page? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_o%27_war - the only difference here is the capital W.
: Yes, please. Man O' War conjures large ships or large jellyfish, not a horse. Rkedge (talk) 12:43, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: Disambiguation

message: I believe the author's attempt to reference to the jockey's middle name ("Sanford) as being an interesting fact, is because the name of the race in which that jockey rode the horse Upset to finished in front of MOW -- for the only time during his racing career (Aug. 13, 1919) -- was named the "Sanford Memorial Stakes."

message: An anonymous IP user does not like that Blood-Horse magazine listed Man o' War as the top horse of the 20th century. See Wikipedia article: Blood-Horse magazine List of the Top 100 U.S. Racehorses of the 20th Century. So this user has begun to attack this article as well without discussion. I will continue to revert changes by anonymous user until said user stops or enters into discussion.

message: Wikipedia is for the general public, not just for insiders in each field.  The chart on the horse's pedigree includes three unexplained abbreviations.  Now, I suppose "b." could be assumed to be a general abbreviation for "born"; but then why "br." - does it mean something else?  If so, what; if not, then why use two abbreviations for one word?  And, finally, what does "ch." stand for?  I have no idea and don't know how I could find out.211.225.34.183 (talk) 12:12, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

message: I notice that in this section the Grand Union Hotel Stakes race on 8/23/1919 is listed above the Hopeful Stakes race on 8/20/1919. As this listing appears that it should be in chronological order, I would suggest these entries be switched.Wreck Smurfy (talk) 04:04, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

:I think it's worth a shot, though I apologize that I haven't been super active recently to help, but I can lurk and wikignome.  There may be some trouble with the statue photo, might be post-1978, might want to have Wehwalt check on that.  It would be cool to find more photos of him, I know there have to be some more that are pre-1923 or in books with copyright not renewed (see Hathi Trust).  I don't know if pre-1978 Breyer horse models are still under copyright or not, but I have the Breyer...  (LOL). It's definitely an article that should be GA-class.

replies: text:  The statue is okay since it was placed when he was re-interred at the Kentucky Horse Park a looong time ago. I'll look for more photos. Do you think I can screenshot the New York Times articles and use these images? They'll be black & white and perhaps a bit grainy but they're something! Jlvsclrk (talk) 02:16, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  I found an adorable picture of him as a foal and another of him after the Belmont. Also found a great set in a Keeneland library retrospective that I think should mostly be fair game - certainly the ones of him racing since they're before 1923. But when you click on the link for each picture, they say that permission is required so I'm totally confused. Jlvsclrk (talk) 03:59, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  OOPS!  I didn't mean to start the review, I'll ask an admin to clean up my mess. Montanabw(talk) 04:52, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: If you can prove publication prior to 1923, you are good to go, no matter if someone claims copyright.  If you can't, then it's the more complicated route described here.  In short, the trick is to determine first date of publication. The "1964 copyright not renewed" route is also usually pretty easy to figure out (I did for some of the post-1923 images at Margaret Cabell Self)  The Hathi Trust website is a good one for proving date of publication, as is the Library of Congress Montanabw(talk) 04:52, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

message: What does it mean to have been the “unofficial” 1920 "American Horse of the Year"? Putting “American Horse of the Year” in caps suggests that it was somehow official, or at least real. Unless there is something proffered to somehow substantiate this apparent fiction, I propose it be deleted. Nicmart (talk) 22:13, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
