[edit] Neatsfoot oil from lard

About the request for source (citation needed). Word of mouth from 2 separate people and information read here [1]. Sorry it's not the best answer, please remove my contribution if I've breached any rules.Sl1dewest 14:42, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Sadly word of mouth is not enough for an encyclopedia. The ref is helpful (and interesting in itself), though I'm not sure it's definitive – it's a secondary source, and seems to refer only to the US (the US Army's arms may be long, but I doubt even they can reach the neatsfoot oil in my tack room here in England...). I suggest putting it in as a ref, but leaving the "citation needed" tag for the moment (look at other pages to see how to do this – there are buttons to help in the big box near the foot of every page in edit mode – highlight text, click the button, and the ref codes appear around the text).

By the way, if you use the "Show preview" button before finalising your edit you can avoid making many small public edits. --Richard New Forest 15:04, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
