New enough. User:Horsegeek: Could you please add more categories?Zigzig20s (talk) 21:54, 26 May 2019 (UTC)- Long enough. Neutral, well-sourced, no copyright violation detected.
- The hook should be ALT1. It is short enough, interesting to a broad audience, and cited.
- Good to go. More categories would be preferable, however.Zigzig20s (talk) 00:07, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
- Came to promote, but I'm wondering about the term "sire of significance." We don't have an article on it. Is it a common term in horsebreeding? I assume it's used to mean 'sire of many winners' or something like that? The term is used once in the article but doesn't have a source. --valereee (talk) 13:19, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
- valereee, doing ALT1 would probably make more sense to the majority, but “sire of significance” is a common horse term that means exactly what it sounds like. It is a sire of great importance, or like you said, of many winners. Horsegeek(talk) 00:23, 9 June 2019 (UTC)Horsegeek
- Thanks, Horsegeek! Given that someone is likely to come along and ask "where is hook source support for calling him a sire of significance?" <g> I suspect we're better off using ALT1, as you say. Hm, but now I'm looking for the sourcing on "Queen of Poland," which is mentioned in the lead without a citation and isn't mentioned again in the article? --valereee (talk) 09:39, 9 June 2019 (UTC)--valereee (talk) 09:24, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
