[edit] Started jockey/trainer article

I've replaced the former redirect to an incredibly minor soap-opera character with a stub for up-and-coming jockey and horse trainer Jamie Sanders. I know very little about either, but decided to create this article partly on a Wikipedia-whim, and partly to fight the trend of stubs with plenty of prose but very little sourcing. My stub is the reverse — only three sentences, but including four sources, proper categories and a specific stub tag, and links to relevant articles. I'm hoping domain-knowledge folks will take it from here to flesh out this stub, especially if Sanders and her horse do well in the upcoming Kentucky Derby. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 16:06, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Heh heh, I actually created the OLTL redirect etc., but I wanted you to know that you've done the right thing — in my book, real people trump fictional characters! Well, unless there's a real person named J.R. Ewing, LOL. Oh, and by the way, nice stub, I wish everyone was so thorough. TAnthony 16:14, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. I'm more interested in sourcing articles than in writing them these days, since there's so little of the former and so much of the latter. This stub is just an extreme example of my new priorities, I guess. ☺ ~ Jeff Q (talk) 16:41, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey, I know you've admitted you're not a Jamie Sanders expert, but no articles currently link to this one, which will eventually lead to its deletion; if possible, help me find at least one article to link to it. Thanks. TAnthony 16:27, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, some of the sources I provided actually give more information on Teuflesberg than they do about Sanders. I was contemplating doing a stub for the horse, too, but have run out of time for this Wikipedia session. Perhaps you could extract a few items for a Teuflesberg stub, especially since it now has five articles linking to it. Then you could include a J.S. link to "legitimize" this article. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 16:41, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
