Talk:Airs above the ground

merge
This article is way to small to be on it's own, its a form of dressage, so it should just be listed as one of the maneuvers on that page. Along with any other short maneuver articles. Capriole, Courbette, and Levade. - <> Who ? &iquest; ?  08:45, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * There's a lot more material now, so I have reversed the merge. The topic is quite irrelevant to the Dressage page as it now stands. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 14:32, 10 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Works for me. This is, ideally, how spinoffs DO work:  Keep a section within a main article until it is bulked out and nicely sized to make a good free-standing article, then move it in as more than a stub.  That said, I did leave in a summary and a link in the other article, as it is a first stop for people looking for info on the topic.  I really don't think you can have too many wikilinks (as anyone reviewing my GA noms and cutting a bunch of them knows!)   Montanabw (talk) 04:43, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

"The levade was first taught at the beginning of the 20th century" incorrect
Whoever wrote that apparently has not looked into Gueriniere's book. There is also a painting from around 1580 showing Indian king Man Singh I performing a levade. It was in his WP article, but has been removed for unknown reasons. Thyl Engelhardt 213.70.217.168 (talk) 06:38, 1 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi Thyl, (Ask Andreas who I am, we've connected on facebook via H&D, I don't use my real name here). If you can toss me a date/century to use with the citation to Gueriniere (page number, all the usual bibliographic info) I can correct the material. The painting won't work unless we have a source saying something like "a painting from around 1580 shows Indian king Man Singh I performing a levade."  I know that sourcing annoys people, but it's what we need on wikipedia. They also can't/don't use facebook or blogs as sources here.   Montanabw (talk)  13:51, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
