I can assume good faith on the books, but looking at the online sources, there seems to be some factual discrepancy. The "Stud record" section lists ten studs; however, the cited source lists twelve. The genealogy graph seemed confusing, so I checked three times to make sure that I was right and indeed, the list we have is currently missing two studs. This is too large an error to close an eye to, in my opinion. Also, I am not a horse expert but I do know that when the prose states "eight foals from 1981 to 1995" but the list following is contradictory, something is wrong. Foals are just offspring of a horse, right? THAT AMAZING GUY (Give your friendly bro a love note or two!) 14:21, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
- Fixed both. I'm afraid I'm not much of a horse person, so couldn't add information about them, but I fixed the numbering issues. Thanks, Matty.007 14:48, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
Alright then, looks pretty to me, although it would be preferable for you to do the QPQ. THAT AMAZING GUY (Give your friendly bro a love note or two!) 09:36, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
