Talk:Marwari horse

message: ::Be useful to find a photo of those ears.  Maybe something on Flickr?  Some stuff there is Ok to upload, some not... takes some getting used to the site to find the cc-2.0 and other acceptable images, but doable (go to Wikimedia commons, click upload file and read the stuff about uploading an image from Flickr to figure out what to do).  Another interesting thing would be to find out how many Marwari horses are in India and outside of India, add in some statistics, and citations where you located info (careful not to add advertising links though)  Good luck.

replies: text: What you do not understand about Dana's edits is that wikipedia requires Verification of information.  It also requires a Neutral point of view and does not allow Someone's unpublished views to be considered as source material.  It also helps if you spell correctly and avoid insulting people.

message: Please do not delete sourced material from this article without a better explanation than what was provided in the edit summaries of the two prior deletions.  If you believe there is incorrect material here, then take it to this talk page and explain it.  Also be ready to provide verifiable sources, not just your own statements.  As it sits, the article's sources are deemed reliable and reputable, so if there were good faith errors, they need to be explained here.  Please DO NOT just keep removing this material from the article.  Montanabw(talk) 23:21, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Deletion of sourced material

message: Is 'popular' really the best choice of word in this case? Popular, by it's definition, means favoured. What do you mean here, favoured by nature? That only makes sense if you view Nature as an entity, and as Wikipedia is supposed to be unbiased, the article cannot take that viewpoint. I recommend changing 'popular' to something like 'dominant'.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.150.254.54 (talk) 19:36, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: This means the most popular with buyers/breeders, not the most dominant in nature. I have reverted your edit, since pinto colors are not the most dominant in nature. Dana boomer (talk) 19:48, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

message: For future references, happened to  come across this::File:Rajasthan Horses, Village east of Jodhpur (2).jpg.  Looks like a weanling Marwari foal to me.  Montanabw(talk) 05:38, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It's most likely a Marwari, but could also be a Kathiawari - they have the funky ears too, but aren't usually found in that part of India. That's why I haven't added it in so far. Dana boomer (talk) 10:37, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

message: Can some experienced editors please copy edit this article for grammar and style. Some of the sentences are just too long and am not able to comprehend in a few places. I have to read the same sentence a few times to get its meaning. Featured Articles are supposed to be some of the best in Wikipedia. If a layman is not able to understand an article then it destroys the purpose of an encyclopedia.
:Will you please elaborate on some of the areas where you are having trouble? I've done a bit of work to the article since your edits earlier today - perhaps these have fixed some of the issues? Dana boomer (talk) 16:19, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for elaborating. To answer your questions: 1) I don't know what Maharaja Umaid Singhji did; I haven't been able to find additional source information on this. I'm assuming he probably established breeding programs and searched to find what purebred bloodstock was left, but this is just conjecture. 2) Over concerns about rareness. Added a bit. 3) The physical breed standards are described in the Characteristics section, which is standard for equine breed articles. 4) I've moved some things around in the history section to make it a bit more chronological. I want to keep all of the export information together, so it's still a bit jumpy, but I think it's better now. Dana boomer (talk) 21:13, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Grammar and style 

message: An editor added the following, which might be OK to add in terms of a myths or similar section (we have a "mythology" section in the Arabian horse article, for example).  But the content needs sources checked to see if they are actually about this breed or just horses in general, plusproper formatting using citation templates, as this is a featured article and requires the best sources and meticulously correct formatting.

replies: text: Thanks for removing it and starting a discussion. It appears to be mostly original research, and most of the sources appear unreliable. --Ronz (talk) 00:50, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

message: In reading the article, I noticed that the introductory paragraph lists "piebald and skewbald" as potential colors. This is British terminology that refers directly to the colors on a horse rather than to the actual potential color patterns possible, and isn't used outside of Britain. The Marwari has tobiano, but there are patterns that are certainly not in the breed, such as frame, which is a New World mutation, and other patterns like sabino, white spotting, and splash are currently of unknown status. If possible, could we change the 'piebald and skewbald' piece to specifically pinto to keep with current scientific and equestrian usages?

replies: text: The article uses Indian English; for obvious historical reasons, that is closely similar to British English. Piebald and skewbald are correct terms for the appearance of the coat, which is what is described here. What's your source for the statements you make, by the way?
