Rollback granted

Hi White Arabian Filly. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Widr (talk) 21:45, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Expanding article

Hi, WAF - I'm also pinging Horsegeek as the article creator and co-author of Sultan's Great Day. I'm in the process of expanding the article with hopes of making it a DYK-N but I got a bit tangled-up trying to add some of the video clips I have of the stallion in action. I posted notice at Wikiproject Equine regarding the one clip that's NONFREE and now because of the attempts to delete the clip, I'm gun-shy and discouraged from uploading anymore, including a clip of William Shatner riding Great Day at Belle Reve and possibly a few other scenes. I added the breeding clip to the horse's article a bit prematurely because the clip was tagged as an orphan - not sure what the issue is with editors lacking patience - for a project that doesn't have any deadlines, I'm inundated with deadlines! Anyway, back to the clip - instead of seeing Great Day in the breeding barn, I see the mare foaling. What do you see in the clip I added to the article? Do either of you know how to change the scene that appears? I also wanted to mention that when I start back editing, I will include the {{in use}} template so we don't run into edit conflicts if either of you decide to participate in prepping it for DYK. The "under construction" template will remain full-time, only the "in use" template is added/removed when one of us is working on the article. You can always ping me if you have any questions or suggestions. Atsme📞📧 01:49, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am only seeing the mare foaling. I can probably help with prepping it for DYK later, after Honors (horse) reaches the length requirements. White Arabian Filly Neigh 15:21, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thx, WAF - I'm working on it. Thx for your patience! Atsme📞📧 00:32, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I was pinged. Atsme I think that is a neat idea, and what can I do to help? Horsegeek(talk) 22:26, 9 September 2016 (UTC)Horsegeek[reply]

Readers contributions

Hello, did you check the conversation around readers contributions here?--Melamrawy (WMF) (talk) 23:58, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, thanks for linking me to it! White Arabian Filly Neigh 20:12, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Eek

Saw you checking my page. Nice to see someone else likes horses. Fruitmince (talk) 22:06, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Fruitmince! Most of the horsey Wikipedians hang out at WikiProject Equine. White Arabian Filly Neigh 15:09, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dunn!

You are doing great work on the Bud Dunn FAC... I am back around now, if you need help, ping me! Montanabw(talk) 07:11, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks for the offer. I am really impressed by Dunn, he was a humble man who did a lot with horses. I wish I could have met him, although I have known a few people who were sort of like him. White Arabian Filly Neigh 20:52, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

FYI

FYI: Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Secretariat (horse)/archive1. I don't think you've edited on this article any, so I think that means you could be one of our reviewers, if you are interested in giving it a shot from that side! (And if you made a few minor edits, that's not disqualifying for you to be a reviewer, just note it in your review so others can assess any possible bias). Montanabw(talk) 20:38, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think I have edited there, or have maybe only made one edit, so I'll take a look at reviewing or at least commenting. Yay, maybe we can get it to FA soon. White Arabian Filly Neigh 20:50, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

FAC

If you support a FAC, (i.e. Secretariat) put it in bold so the FAC closer sees the !vote (i.e. Support). Weird, but that's how they search... by looking for the word in bold. Montanabw(talk) 18:23, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

OK, will do. White Arabian Filly Neigh 20:07, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A kitten for you!

I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather. This must be a stressful time for your family. I've recently had deaths in my family too, so I can sympathize.

~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 17:31, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the kitten and your support, ONUnicorn. Ironically, his illness is not the most stressful thing. My uncle is disabled and lives with a relative, and another relative is mad because she thinks the one he lives with will inherit everything (not that there's much to inherit). I guess all that is par for the course when you have something like 300 relatives, like I do. (In Appalachia people had big families when my grandparents were having kids.)

Air Operations in the Korean War

Hello. I took you up on your suggestion and posted the question on Military History. Thanks, Jak474 (talk) 20:32, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I hope you get some replies. It seems like an interesting topic that deserves an article. White Arabian Filly Neigh 20:46, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

North America1000 08:49, 21 May 2016 (UTC) Hi, could you please do a "make over" on the references and the web links? They are in the article, just looks bad, I do not know how this works, sorry... maybe also add some categories...? The article is on my sandbox... bout Dwayne Steven Milburn. Could you please do this for me... I did write the German Wiki article about Milburn... someone (a Mentor) liked my work and helped me to get it on... It was online within 22 hours... Here, nobody really reacts... I do not understand enough English for all the techy stuff here, even if it's all close to the german wiki.... :-/[reply]

Thank you a lot!

(Torsten Lang (talk) 16:12, 22 September 2016 (UTC))[reply]

Hi, Torsten Lang. I'll be glad to do it, but it will probably be be a day or two. My phone battery is about dead and I'm having to buy and install a new one. I willhelp as soon as I have a battery that lasts more than 30 minutes! White Arabian Filly Neigh 20:31, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I did add more references (someone said, it would not be enough) So, you might wanna take over... I did try to put it in the right form, did not work... I cant finish it :-( Thank you a lot! Torsten Lang (talk) 15:03, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]


HOORAY for you!

PROMOTED! Montanabw(talk) 00:08, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah! So excited! Thanks for all your help with the review process. Do you think it could be featured article of the day? I know most of them have a free picture, or seem to. I have a partly written blurb in my sandbox... White Arabian Filly Neigh 15:50, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You can nominate it at WP:TFA -- ask Dank for advice if you need to. You can request a specific day (like a birthday) or just put it up for a nonspecific date. Montanabw(talk) 07:04, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Gratz! Check out WP:TFAR. You're welcome to work on TFA text ... that helps me, but I usually fiddle with the text. - Dank (push to talk) 13:01, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/Bud Dunn. Feel free to reword the blurb; I think the best part is how he won a major Championship at age 81, which has never been done by anybody else I know of. I also can't figure out why it won't link to the full article...what did I do wrong? White Arabian Filly Neigh 21:17, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]


Merry, merry!

From the icy Canajian north; to you and yours! FWiW Bzuk (talk) 14:59, 24 December 2016 (UTC) [reply]
