Brocklesby Stakes

Hi Peaky. Thanks for starting this article. I have added a sentence and a reference on Donovan's win in 1888. I was also thinking of starting an article on Provideo (he was British Horse of the Year in 1984), which might help. Tigerboy1966  21:07, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome, thanks etc!

Hi, I've only recently noticed you creating good horse racing articles although I see you've actually been around for a while. Great to have someone else around doing good quality horse racing stuff. I'm always willing to copy-edit articles, add in links, review stuff although I don't have much time these days for starting new articles, so if you need a hand or want to discuss anything on the subject please give me a shout via my talk page. Cheers! --Bcp67 (talk) 11:08, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Yes, I've been around for a while, but I've recently found myself with some spare time so thought I'd try and put it to use. Horse racing is a professional and personal interest of mine, so it seemed a good place to start. It's a shame that wikipedia doesn't have the depth of articles on horse racing that it does on equivalent sports. I'm always quite surprised by some of the omissions. I will definitely give you a shout for advice. I'm still finding my way round a lot of wikipedia Peaky76 (talk) 12:12, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good work on both articles. They certainly aren't stubs anymore. equineline is a good, reliable source for pedigrees. Tigerboy1966  22:43, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article Alice Plunkett has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. — LuckyAim — - — Talk to Lucky — 06:41, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Source

This [1] is a good source of news stories on British Racing, especially in the late 19th and early 20th century. The NZ papers tended to reprint stories from the British ones, but as the British ones aren't generally available free on-line, this works very well. Tigerboy1966  19:47, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's excellent thanks very much. I will take a look. I likewise found some info on Loates in the New York Times that I couldn't find reported here. Peaky76 (talk) 22:06, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
