Talk:Alois Podhajsky

Question about article quality
OK, Podhajsky is an excellent rider & horseman, and well-worth writing an article on. However, this is an encyclopedia. Can someone please make this into a true article? I dont have many resources on his life. Eventer 23:23, 29 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Article sure needs work, but I don't have time to fix it now, most stuff on Podhajsky is in books, not the net. Unless you want the fictionalized version in the Disney movie...No argument, just no time. Montanabw 00:15, 30 January 2007 (UTC)


 * The main shortcoming of this language is the emotional tone of extreme admiration. I have read some of his books and if my memory serves me there seem to be no major mistakes on matters of fact. But the article could soberly report the man's accomplishments without insisting that the reader accept the author's valuation of the man and his works.


 * Actually, one of the things I like about Podhajsky the most is that he does not depict himself as the perfect rider with the perfect horses. Amazing, I think, even his horses sometimes get skittish when a log crouches menacingly at the side of the road. Sometimes his subordinates get thrown by a fractious mount, something that should logically be expected only to happen to a turkey like me. P0M 10:04, 30 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Had I the time to wordsmith, I'd clean it up, but hey! Anyone can remove excess adjectives, which does solve many POV problems, so GO FOR IT!!! I'd say we have consensus! Montanabw 19:28, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
