[edit] Horses in warfare

It developed quite well from an unreadable rubbish. Although this was not my merit, I want to push it further to A class. Wandalstouring 11:37, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Comment

• The WP:LEAD should be an adequate summary of the article. I think the lead should be expanded.
• References for the second paragraph of Light weight-horses. e.g. Palfrey needs a reference.
• References for the statistics of the Middle weight horses. I know they that the sentence is quite subjective, but it still needs a reference.
• References in general. There are several citation needed tags. It is better to be over-referenced than have a lack of references.
• WP:DASH need, – or – in between dates.
• In the 20th Century section, in firefox, the image on the left overlaps the title. (Internet explorer is ok as is yahoo browser). The WP:MOS#Images recommends that images should be staggered. As it is it compresses the text. Think about removing 1 or two to stop the page being compressed.

Apart from that, the wikilinks are relevant, the prose is good and the text is comprehensive. Well done so far. Woodym555 13:49, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Oppose - In my opinion this article is quite much unreferenced. There are entire subsections such as "Warfare in the Renaissance and Early Modern Period" and "Reconnaissance and patrol" which are completely unreferenced. Also, in "Equestrian competition" subsection, three of the four main paragraphs are lacking citations. I think it won't meet even the GA requirements. --Eurocopter tigre 12:46, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

The GA citation requirement have just been releaxed after a long discussion on WP:WIAGA. Even so, as per Wikipedia:Citing sources guidelines whole paragraphs do not have to be cited as long as there is nothing deemed to be contentious. Whilst i agree with you that it needs more citations in places, i don't think that every paragraph always has to have a citation. Woodym555 12:56, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
