Talk:Brumby

message: I have moved some comments that were put into decade-old threads down here so that the entire June 2020 discussion is all in one place. Moved material is indicated by  Montanabw(talk) 22:09, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: New topic

message: Please refer to the ferial descision Above.  There has been no information of references deleted and in fact most original citations are not current.  Justlettersandnumbers has no contribution to this page. The horse industry in Australia has and is going through a huge readjustment due to the unfair and inhumane treatment of their ex race horses. The Brumby page is not a Feral horse page and should support the titles naritave that being a wild free ranging horse of Australia. Shenqijing (talk) 23:45, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Page reverted vandilisum, page reverted back. 

message: Right can we please stop the name calling and move forward to creat a great page with current and non bias content. First we can discuss the naming of the equine. Brumby or Wild Horse or Wild bush horse. Can we please have some  suggestions based on the evidence that was supplied and I take it that we will take the lead if intention from the Federal judge even if we don't agree or understand it. I have other current research from other international scientists that I would like to present. I would like to finish by saying that it is not my intention to upset any editors on this page, but I am truly dedicated to presenting a unbias page  that is current and factual and please respect that a complete eddit back to the former is not good form.

replies: text: No, the reason I find you to be disruptive is because you are edit-warring, editing against consensus, editing the article based on local knowledge, and insisting there is evidence supporting the word feral be changed, due to The Federal Court of Australia. You need to understand and acknowledge that it does not make any difference what the court and/or judge thinks about the word feral being used to describe the subject of this article. This article will be edited in accordance with the policies and guidelines of Wikipedia. The Brumby will be defined and described in this article according to how reliable sources define and describe the Brumby. Do you understand that? Forget about the court and the judge.

thread_title:  Moving forward for non bias page 

message: Hello, I have supplied evidence for this page to change the description from feral to Brumby. The name feral is impartial and is demeaning allowing the exploitation and harm to this animal as well as people.
I am new to Wiki I am not a sock puppet ( demeaning and will need to change that description also) . Shenqijing (talk) 00:29, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: You are presenting no policy or guideline based arguments, and are simply repeating the largely incomprehensible arguments that have been rejected by other editors. It's time to drop the stick and back slowly away from the FERAL horse carcass, so please go and improve another article or something. FDW777 (talk) 09:37, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, "feral" is not an insult, it's a term with specific scientific meaning.  This discussion has gone on too long and there is an overwhelming consensus on the issue. We're done here Montanabw(talk) 20:25, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Total agree that this discussion should end now, with feral as the term used.  The editor has reams of waffling claims without evidence, and seems fixated on changing that term.  But feral is the correct scientific word to use here.  As to why he wants to include Chinese medicine in the article, I have no idea. --Dmol (talk) 21:22, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Feral changed to Brumby 

message: I just want to pop a note here that the word "colt", meaning a young male horse, is so commonly misused to refer to foals that its use must be handled carefully.  It was so common that in works from 50-100 years ago, one sees biologically impossible phrasing like "she was a filly colt." (Arrgh) In etymology, I guess we have to do what we have to do, but the use of the male form of a noun to describe the generic animal is problematic, though I realize that many non-English languages have gendered nouns and so that complicates things further.  But for all of the above reasons, I put the word "colt" in quotes in the history/etymology section to make it clear that it was the word's immediate translation, no more and no less.  Apparently, we don't have a source for whether the word was intended to be a gendered noun but referring to all young horses of either sex or if it was deliberately intended to apply only to young male horses.
