Talk:Funny Cide

message: I have tagged this article for cleanup for several reasons. The first is the opening paragraph: it's way too long, and the first sentence needs work. The second is the bolding of many horse's names (among other things) throughout, which is against WP:MS. The Sackatoga Stable section should probably be split into its own article, leaving the essentials of their aquiring of Funny on this page in the "early years" section. The section entitled "What's a gelding to do" definitely needs to be renamed (rather informal). There are quotations that need citations. Some sentences are decidedly unencyclopedic ("Funny took control from Robin Smullen, and ran perhaps too hard and too fast...way too fast"), or at least informal. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 23:14, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually the article needs cleaning because the first paragraph (particularly the opening sentences) lists all sorts of boring details about the horse, but fails to mention the single thing that makes Funny Cide significant: winning the first 2 legs of the triple crown. -R. fiend 00:32, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Is this article reads like a novel----needs to be more encyclopedic
IMO - It's so long and the facts are so repeated and non-standard that it's overwhelming, ie, I don't want to read it.  If I wanted a magazine article, I can find those.  Please look at the other greats, ie, Northern Dancer, Rags to Riches, etc., and standardize to match. shoebox22 19:39, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Re: Kentucky derby section
This section is so non-encyclopedic that it descends into parody, no more so than when it pointlessly links to a disambiguation page for the indefinite pronoun "everybody."  I may have been artless in remarking "that's really stupid" as I removed the link, but that's an accurate description, we must all admit. 76.20.250.202 (talk) 00:17, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
