Thanks for the note. I have no idea about your history with Una and respect whatever you feel about that. I would just say that my interaction with her was quite positive, not in terms of (dis)agreement but in terms of improving wikipedia. That is what I felt about this story - that there were good faith (but perhaps clumsy) attempts to improve the article. We all make mistakes; I often get remarks on my blunders in materials science articles and am only glad when someone points me to them, not to mention if he/she patiently explains my wrongs :-).

For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented ] to the scoring system.

2024 has wrapped up, and what a full year it was for ]! Over the past year, we hosted two edit-a-thons, one themed around ] and another on ].

Excellent work, and thank you to everyone involved!

This year, as with every year, we hope you will join us in helping improve our coverage of women and women's works on this encyclopedia. Every contribution helps. We'll see you around!
If the introduction to a list of studs farm is written in the '''present tense''', it should refer to present-day countries.

I am new at editing on Misplaced Pages (as you most likely have seen). I have been showing walking horses for more than 10 years and heavily involved in the industry. I would really like to modernize the Misplaced Pages page for the walking horse. I now understand what photos are proper and necessary and will be adding a few new ones as well with updated information. I noticed where it was posted that some of the images had copyright problems can you explain this to me? All of the images which I have posted previously have been my own (mostly I have taken them b/c I am a equine photographer haha) Any help will be greatly appreciated! Im glad there are dedicated individuals who monitor these pages and make sure the information stays correct! Sorry if I have made any improper changes as I was still getting my footing in the editing department and understanding the HTML haha.

Hello! As a much more experienced editor and someone who historically commented on ], I was wondering if you would weigh in on recent edits to that article. A considerable amount of text has been removed. References to locations such as ] were deleted since they are technically not within city limits. Is this normal? ] (]) 07:49, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
Thank you for the information on the copyrights, I now know what I need to do differently. I completely understand what is needed now for the images and will be preparing them over the next few days to replace the lead image, the conformation image (which needs to included the whole body) and the running walk one. We just kind of jumped at the chance to change the page a little too soon before being fully prepared, case in point deleting the soring section (which needs to be updated). There is so much negative attention and media directed at this industry and many people who are not involved competitively have very little information as to what really occurs. For example the "Big Lick" name for the gait is no longer used, it is a out dated term from the 70s.


== Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot ==
As for Links WHOA is the walking horse owners association, is it simply not appropriate b/c they show ads along the lower left side of their site?

Wow! Some great advice. I know first hand how... um... should I say interesting the controversial topics can be (seeing how I seem to be stuck in the middle of them at all times showing Walking Horses haha). I think its great that the soring section is on there because it is a major occurrence in our breed and needs to be acknowledged. I will try to gather as much up-to-date information I can on the topic as well as "spiffy up" the other sections you noted. I have quite a few major resources which I can pull from (breed books, articles, etc...). It will take a while to gather everything so dont think I have run off haha.

hmm.

== Piber ==

Great Job! Though I would suggest to rename it to "Federal Stud Piber", don't you think so? In german it's "Bundesgestüt Piber". Another question: I talked to people from Piber about the wiki-article "Lipizzan" and the photo showing a "typical" lipizzan. On this photo is a lipizzan from Monterotondo with a rider on. It's simply an ugly photo! I asked the Piber stuff for a better one and they said yes sure. So, if I upload one of these photos to commons what about the copyrights. Federal Stud Piber holds the rights and is willing to publish on Misplaced Pages.--Andreas Hausberger 19:41, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

:I agree the Lipizzan photo is not the best, only maybe the best of what we have. Unfortunately, "copyrighted but OK to use on Misplaced Pages" isn't a free license for wikimedia commons, a photo has to be basically free to anyone for anything. The easiest way to do this is to release a photo into the public domain--but doing so means that anyone can do anything with it and never pay royalties or give attribution or anything. (an example is this image: ]). The other acceptable method is to release a photo under the GDFL and CC licenses -- which basically say that a photographer can get credit for taking the photo, but that the image has to be free to anyone to use for anything, even for someone else to make money from. The young gray Lipizzan that illustrates ] may be more suitable if you'd prefer that one as an interim solution. The horse is very nice, but young, without the fully white hair coat. (Personally, I got so fed up with finding photos of some things that I wanted to illustrate that I just got out my own camera and started taking amateur photos that I could own and then release any way I wanted. Example would be this image: ].) ]<sup>]</sup> 00:05, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

:On the second issue, German and English flip their word order a lot, while I would go with what what the official version from the facility is, in English, we always say "The XYZ stud" not "Stud XYZ" Also, at , the tab at the top does say "Piber Federal Stud" which is grammatically correct English. We could rename the whole article "Piber Federal Stud" so as to later make room for someone to do an article about the village of Piber, I suppose...? ]<sup>]</sup> 00:05, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Think you got this one wrong. Moorhead does indeed exist and in fact the Spear Hills are shown on the Moorhead Quad map. Moorhead as a village shows clearly on the quad. Although Brodus is indeed north of the Spear Hills, it is a long way north compared to Moorhead.--] (]) 22:17, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

:Broadus has about 600 people in it, and it's the biggest town in the county, so it's the best reference. Given the relative lack of relief (some nice badlands country down there, though) any significant elevation will be visible from many miles off. Oh, and no one in Montana says "village" either. In Powder River County, there ARE a couple wide spots in the road that might have a bar. My point is that if a community does not appear on the Montana road map, then no one is going to have any clue how to find something. It may appear on a quad, but in real life there could just be a sign on the railroad tracks by a weathered shed... Note this map, http://www.mdt.mt.gov/travinfo/docs/hwymap_cond.pdf which shows the KNOWN wide spots in the road like Olive (population zero), Biddle and Powderville. No Moorhead. Given that Broadus is about 40 miles from the Wyoming border and the Spear Hills are roughly on the border, it isn't that far--it's probably a 20 minute drive the way a person drives in that part of the state... ]<sup>]</sup> 22:49, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi,

I wanted to ask your permission to publish your picture of a palomino wearing a bosal for an article on bits and bridles. The article is slated for the June issue of the Northwest Horse Source, a regional all-breed magazine the covers Wash., Ore., Idaho, and parts of Western Montana and Northern Calif.

I'd like to include a photo credit if you wish to furnish that. This will be the "lead-in" picture for the article.

I am at your mercy on this one, we don't have much of an editorial budget. But I would be interested in publishing your story, if that's something you feel could benefit you. I find your work with Misplaced Pages intriguing and news worthy.

Deadline is later this week, so please let me know before Thurs., April 29.

Sincerely,

Gavin Ehringer, editor

I saw that you've been bashing Milhist's A-class review system over on ]'s FAC, but I can't understand what you are talking about.

: I think Montana may have actually been referring to the GA review of the article, which did drag on for quite a while with an initial reviewer who wanted a lot of tangential information included. This article has had so many reviews by so many different people, it's easy to get them confused :) ] (]) 15:25, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

:::Yes, and thanks for explaining, Dana. I can't keep track of them all, and it's probably why I admire anyone going for GA or FA because I don't know if I would have the patience to deal with the process. I love useful editing suggestions, I have no patience with the other kind. Sigh... ]<sup>]</sup> 17:50, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi. I saw your edit to the Hambletonian 10 page. I just wanted to let you know that "standardbred", and "thouroughbred", are types of horses, and not breed names. They are, as such, not capitalised. All the best-] (]) 17:43, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

:Wrong. These are ] and are to be capitalized. At least as long as all the other horse breeds are capitalized. And if you think none of them should be, well, we have nearly 400 articles plus thousands of cross-references that would need to be changed. So please stop changing the capitalization on these articles. ]<sup>]</sup> 18:58, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
::"Thoroughbred", and "standardbred", are not capitalised. You said yourself, dictionaries list "thoroughbred", and "purebred", as synonyms. Are dictionaries no longer reliable sources?

"Montana, you know I respect you greatly--you write FAs that have fewer adjectives than that outburst."

" readers will not be privy to the massive undercurrents of dross that underpins WP. They require well written, well sourced, encyclopaedic material that can inform, enlighten and satisfy their interest."

"We live a time when criticism, especially here on Misplaced Pages, is considered to be a personal attack, which is at the root of this nonsense. Yet without criticism we can't improve."

Welcome to the 2025 WikiCup!

Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2025 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and the judges will set up your submissions page ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page.

For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented several changes to the scoring system. The highest-ranking contestants will now receive tournament points at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be eliminated at the end of each round.

The first round will end on 26 February. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs · email), Epicgenius (talk · contribs · email), Frostly (talk · contribs · email), Guerillero (talk · contribs · email) and Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs · email). Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

2025 Update from Women in Green

[REDACTED]

Hello Montanabw:

2024 has wrapped up, and what a full year it was for WikiProject Women in Green! Over the past year, we hosted two edit-a-thons, one themed around women's history and another on women around the world. We also managed to achieve most of our 2024 annual goals, nominating 75 articles for GA, reviewing 64 GA nominations, nominating 8 articles for FAC, peer reviewing 3 articles and reviewing 10 FAC nominations. Excellent work, and thank you to everyone involved!

For 2025 we have a new set of goals for nominations and reviews. In particular, we would like to see more articles on our Hot 100 list being improved and nominated for GA this year. If you take a look at the list and see an article you are interested in contributing to, feel free to add it and yourself to our Hot 100 project discussion. You might even find someone interested in collaborating with you!

This year, as with every year, we hope you will join us in helping improve our coverage of women and women's works on this encyclopedia. Every contribution helps. We'll see you around!

Request for opinion on recent edits to Bozeman

Hello! As a much more experienced editor and someone who historically commented on Talk:Bozeman, Montana, I was wondering if you would weigh in on recent edits to that article. A considerable amount of text has been removed. References to locations such as Bridger Bowl Ski Area were deleted since they are technically not within city limits. Is this normal?
