Fairlawne Chase
editI'm not convinced that this race was historically known as the Fairlawne Chase, even though it does carry the name now. The old Fairlawne Chase was run at Windsor, in February e.g. [1] but disappeared from the calendar when Windsor dropped NH racing in the late 1990s [2]. Is there any reference for the Cheltenham race being known as the Fairlawne Chase? --Bcp67 (talk) 21:36, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
I agree, so will change text here and create a new entry in Discontinued Races for the original Fairlawne. Not sure why you removed my addition of the RP Reference to the 1990 race won by Paddyboro? The year and dates seem to match up and otherwise there is no reference for 1990.
On the subject of References, any idea how we avoid the "This article does not cite any references or sources" messages that keep cropping up on pages such as the Mandarin Handicap Chase? I'm not sure we can do much more than add RP References where they exist. ( JockeyColours (talk) 16:38, 6 January 2015 (UTC))
- My error re 1990, misunderstood what you had done and have now reverted. Re the references - well, everything should be cited to a source. So, if there is a printed or online source that you have used for the Mandarin winners, it ought to be cited. However - that's not always easy and I'm as guilty as anyone of not always citing! If you need a hand, give me a shout. --Bcp67 (talk) 20:12, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
