Sports To-do: edit  Here are some tasks you can do: Requests: Average (sports) (crucial article explaining the concept, nomenclature, math; redir to it from Average (sport); use Batting average as starting point for ideas) Cleanup: Sport governing body (this should-be-major article is in a shameful state) Field hockey (History section needs sources and accurate information - very vague at the moment.) Other: Assess: newly added and existing articles, maybe nominate some good B-class articles for GA; independently assess some as A-class, regardless of GA status. Split: Cross-training into Cross-training and Cross-training (business); Hockey puck into Puck (sports) (w/ Puck (sport) redir) and Hockey puck (and update Puck DAB page); Swimming into Swimming (general activity) and Swimming (sport) (eventually create subarticles for varieties) Categorize: Gather all (major/olympic) sports to be part of this project Photographs for pages listed in Wikipedia:Requested pictures/Society#Sport and referenced categories.

Harness racing was a good article nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. Once these are addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. Reviewed version: June 14, 2006

Cold-blooded horses? (2nd par.) Can that be right?

• I'm a scandinavian myself, so I know that is true. If you want more evidence, check out http://www.imh.org/imh/bw/finnish.html, "fastest cold-blooded trotter in the world".

According to this site, the warm/cold-blooded distinction seems to be a completely different thing to what a zoologist would mean by the terms. Instead, horses descended from the smaller Arabian or Barb are considered warm blooded, whereas all other horses are cold blooded. Loganberry (Talk) 03:48, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Failed GA

This article failed the Ga noms due to lack of references. Tarret 22:25, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Great Horses

I think that horses without a link should be removed, so I'm going to move them here so that in the future when they do have a page, they can be readded to the articleKearney6 19:10, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
