Talk:List of Middle-earth horses

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is within the scope of WikiProject Middle-earth, which aims to build an encyclopedic guide to J. R. R. Tolkien, his legendarium, and related topics. Please visit the project talk page for suggestions and ideas on how you can improve this and other articles.

[edit] Karim Abdul Jabar

This is clever, but Karim Abdul Jabar is definitely not a horse of middle-earth.

[edit] Shadowfax photo

Shadowfax is of course fictional, and as such the photograph in the article cannot be of him. If it is of the horse which portrayed Shadowfax in the film, please note this. Hairy Dude 20:40, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Apparently it is, so I've noted it. Hairy Dude 00:27, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Created and expanded a ponies section

See section, which I created, in article, on ponies. Should ponies be in a "Horses" article? Should the five hobbit ponies have separate entries or be amalgamated somehow? Carcharoth 10:55, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

The word 'pony' is just a description applied (somewhat inconsistently) to some horses. Ergo, I think it is correct to include the horses which happen to be ponies here. Separate entries for the five ponies are probably ok. --CBDunkerson 15:07, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Brego

Is it worth mentioning that Aragorn rode a horse called Brego in the Peter Jackson films? Douglasnicol 13:30, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

"given to the horse's trainer, Caitriona Gabor (daughter of Zsa Zsa Gabor)" Since wikipedia's entry on zsa zsa gabor does not mention a daugher named Caitriona Gabor, I think this needs to be double checked.

The article states that Mortensen did the same for two different horses(Florian/Asfaloth and Uraeus/Brego). Is this true, or has the someone got the facts wrong? Rojomoke 15:22, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Shadowfax.jpg

Image:Shadowfax.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 03:48, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removed film info and images

This article should concentrate on the book, and besides the external link provides the same info - not to mention charges of fancruft (much the same reason why Hadhafang isn't included in List of Middle-earth weapons and armour). Uthanc (talk) 09:46, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
