Restoration
Gang, restored discussion below. I think we are not supposed to blank article talk pages, per Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. I don't care one way or the other here, but can our respected admins weigh in on this matter? I know user pages, which we can do whatever with, are different from article talk pages. If consensus is to blank, that's OK, or we could archive the discussion, perhaps? (extending olive branch) Montanabw(talk) 05:50, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
Reverts
The revert war needs to end and the disputed content should be civilly discussed here on the talk page. Please confine your comments to the editorial content of the article and refrain from commenting on other editors per WP:NPA. Thanks! Dreadstar † 06:26, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
- Since each of the horse racing events in the disputed section are entitled to be referred to as "The Prestigious", it violates WP:UNDUE to give only one of them that qualifier. Adding the phrase to each event would affect the article's readability, and further - this is about horses not the races they are in. Each event mentioned is linked to the subjects article and the details about each race can be found there. Dreadstar † 23:18, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
I won't press this any further but the section 'Uses' describes what a mare can do in the horse world. Winning a race isn't really that big of a deal but winning a race like the Melbourne Cup, which draws some of the best horses from around the world, is a big deal. Presigious was there to highlight this. Actually it said 'prestigious Australian race the Melbourne Cup...'. Montanabw said if the Melbourne Cup is called prestigious then a whole list of prestigious races from around the world would have to be included well this is untrue as it only highlighted the races importance in Australia. Now you have the information make up your own mind. Bananas'n'Cream 01:32, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
FYI prestigious is used to discribe the Melbourne Cup in article Makybe Diva no one has made a fuss over this. Bananas'n'Cream 01:39, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
New discussion
An archive would be good but how do you do it? Be a handy thing to learn ;) Bananas'n'Cream 05:57, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
And what is an olive branch in the terms which you use it? An in what manner or fashion can it be extended? I have never heard it as a saying before. Please explain sounds interesting. Bananas'n'Cream 06:00, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

- And you can use the handy-dandy olive branch to sweep everything into an archive: Help:Archiving a talk page...;) Dreadstar † 06:22, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Big Fat F for First Time Archiving
I tried archiving and failed miserably I'll take the beer and leave it to someone who knows the ropes a bit better. ;-) Bananas'n'Cream 07:21, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
