DYK for Sliding bookcase
Thank you for your help with DYK Victuallers (talk) 19:10, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

Dear kind soul,
Your sandwhich definition blew me and my friends out of the water. You impressed us and provided incredible clarity to our day. Thank you for your commitment to sandwich history.
Cheers
deep commitment to providing for your community — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1012:B00B:C31F:C0B1:B36E:2C00:9CBE (talk) 06:22, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for the kind words. I'm assuming this is about the new sandwich bread article. North America1000 08:44, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

Comments on talk page of AFD discussion page
Hi there. I know you sometimes deal with AFD closure issues, and I just happened to run across an oddity. One user left his/her comments at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Tistory: Special Live Tour, a now-closed discussion's talk page, instead of on the project page. I don't know if this makes any difference in terms of proper archival of the discussion or not, but I just wanted to alert someone in case it does. Thanks for your attention! :) Shinyang-i (talk) 05:24, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Shinyang-i: This occurs occasionally, and it's fine just to leave it in place, particularly since the recommendation to merge there is the same as the discussion closure. If you'd like, you can contact the poster and ask them if you could move it to Talk:Tistory: Special Live Tour, where the comment is more likely to actually be seen. North America1000 07:36, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
Need a revdelete
Hi. Sorry to bother you with this, but could you perform a revision delete for me? I just cleaned up some particularly nasty vandalism at Marie Allan. The last six revisions need to be redacted, starting with this diff. I checked a few other admins, but none of them seem to be active right now. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 01:20, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
Done. North America1000 10:48, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
- N.b. NinjaRobotPirate: Just FYI, in case you aren't aware of it, there's a list of admins who you can request to perform revision deletions at Category:Wikipedia administrators willing to handle RevisionDelete requests. North America1000 11:42, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

Not sure what was going on here, but it appears that a cut/paste move or some other move related mistake occurred. I have moved all versions that I know to the article Sama language to fix this (as brought to my attention on my talk page User talk:chrislk02#Sama language.

Hey, just popping by to say that it is fun working with you on the Horses in the United States article. Looks like it's getting whipped into shape! Montanabw(talk) 07:22, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
![](https://web.archive.org/web/20150523111623im_/http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/24/Horses_and_Mt._Jefferson_%28Wasco_County%2C_Oregon_scenic_images%29_%28wascDA0109%29.jpg/283px-Horses_and_Mt._Jefferson_%28Wasco_County%2C_Oregon_scenic_images%29_%28wascDA0109%29.jpg)
- Hi Montanabw: Thanks. You have performed most of the work on it, although I have made a few improvements. FYI, the DYK nomination at Template:Did you know nominations/Horses in the United States has been approved as good to go.
- I enjoy collaborations, but it's difficult to find interested parties. Feel free to contact me anytime with collaboration suggestions. North America1000 07:25, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

- I find that collegial, AGF collaborations are very helpful. Do you like working on horse articles? We have to keep on top of the American Pharoah article for the next three weeks, until after the 2015 Belmont Stakes. I'd kind of like to nominate it for GAN if others are on board. (I did California Chrome last year, it was TFA on May 2). If things like the Horses in the United States article are of greater interest, I've long wanted to clean up and improve Spanish Mustang and Colonial Spanish horse - tons of really cool research happening on the origins of these horses. Montanabw(talk) 18:43, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

- I also have long wanted to bring a particular article to GAN, but it is a long, difficult article with RL political drama and as such needs a lot of very careful handling. Unfortunately, it keeps getting hit by POV-pushing people who accuse me of OWNership and call me every name in the book when I try to exercise quality control. If you are OK diving into article improvement of a dramafest article, I'd be delighted to have some help and all ears to hear how you keep from ripping your hair out!

Montanabw: (Regarding collaboration) – I like horses, but haven't performed much editing work in this area. However, I can chip in here and there. The Horses in the U.S. article is appealing because it deals with history too, which I like. Which one is the "dramafest" article? North America1000 01:05, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
- You probably would find Colonial Spanish horse interesting. It is just a breeds list now, mostly, but the research of Dr Sponenberg at Virginia Tech on rare breeds and their origins has dug up some super cool stuff. It's also a quiet corner that doesn't get a lot of traffic. Good potential for a GA push some day. Room for a lot more work on United States Army Remount Service if MilHist interests you. Tell me more about the stuff you find most fun and I can definitely find a horse angle for it! Montanabw(talk) 02:12, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
- The tough place to go is Mustang. :-P There IS a lot of history on the topic and some day I'd love to get that article to GA and maybe even FAC (which actually might ratchet down the drama if it could ever get there). But the history is tough and both past and present have much controversy. Prior to about 1930, it's hard to separate myth from reality. Basically, because people either love or hate wild horses with little in-between, it's a magnet for everything from people with RM requests who think the car should be WP:PRIMARY (there is, informally, a one-year moratorium on that one, luckily) to the political stuff - a lot of people, especially the anon IPs, hit the article to try and claim they are a native species - long story, bad science; others half try to argue that they are scrubs of no particular value and don't like that we even discuss the "are they a reintroduced after extinction species or an invasive non-native species" question in the first place and discount the legitimate research on the Colonial Spanish horse origins of some bands. There is also the "is this a breed or a type" question (and difficult to answer because there really isn't a definition of "horse breed" that is universally agreed-upon) Plus lately, there's some just plain weird stuff about how we should call them "wild" instead of "feral" because, I guess, popular culture calls them wild horses. Sigh. Trust me, put on your admin hat and watchlist, but dip your toe in that murky pond at your own risk! Montanabw(talk) 02:12, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
- oh, and fear not about the horse angle - that's where I have the expertise - I like fellow researchers, copyeditors, helpers of any sort! I had Eric Corbett - a non-horse-person, walk me through the tuneup of Oxbow (horse) for FAC, and I in turn gave him horse advice on Florence Nagle, his recent FAC.

-
- Montanabw: I had no idea about the Wild horse/Feral horse controversy, nor about the discussion regarding Mustang. I need time to mull things over. For starters, I have listed Colonial Spanish Horse at WP:TAFINOM. Below are some interesting articles, in no particular order. I think I may like articles that focus upon uses of horses more than those about specific breeds, although the breed articles are nice too.
- North America1000 12:38, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
-
- On the plough article, see horse collar, technology that revolutionized farming; draft horses are a LOT faster than oxen, thus could cover much larger fields, but they could not be used to their full strength until the horse collar superceded the yoke and/or the breastcollar harness. If you are into history of agricultural technology, that's a dandy one! I haven't done zip with horse and buggy, so that one is also wide open. Horsemeat and horse slaughter are highly controversial, lots of NPOV concerns, though still not as crazy as Mustang, interestingly enough. I knew User:Gwivna who created the horse transports article and popped by there when it was under construction and have reverted vandals since she left, but if there is good stuff for an upgrade, I can keep an eye on its continued progress.

DYK for Deep-fried butter

Hmmm. We have about 3000+ articles tagged by WikiProject Equine (WPEQ). The portal is included on the wikiproject tag at each talk page and we also have it in the {{Equine}} navbox. Generally it's not been included in the articles otherwise. Not opposed to the concept, but trying to figure out if there is a way to do so consistently and elegantly...
