Talk:Heck horse

upright mane
The tarpan article does not mention the characteristic mane. It would be nice to work that into that article, so that the reference makes more sense in this article.

This seemed like the best place to make that point.

Copyvio
WikiProject Equine is very busy right now. We won't have the time to get to this for a while. Can it sit in limbo for a couple weeks? I created the subpage with the old text for someone to look over. Montanabw (talk) 20:24, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I can take a look at it, but it will probably be late tonight or tomorrow before I even have a chance to really examine it. Hope this is OK. Dana boomer (talk) 21:36, 12 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Great fix, and thanks. Kudos!   Montanabw (talk) 06:41, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Capitalization issues
Just an FYI that the breed articles for horses by and large consider types and breed names of horses to be proper names and hence, capitalized. I know there is also controversy over these capitalization protocols in dog breeds, horse breeds and everything else (is it a German Shepherd or a German shepherd? Is it a Standard Poodle or a standard poodle?)  But until that particular spat is settled, if ever, the consensus of WPEQ is that the "breed" names are capitalized. The other open question is if the Tarpan can/should be lower case because it is a subspecies (equus ferus ferus) instead of a breed. But the bottom line is that in this context, it is being treated as a horse breed, hence like all the other horse breeds, the name is capitalized. I will also concede that the Tarpan article itself is inconsistent, about 75% caps and 25% not caps...sigh. Not a moral issue to me, just letting you know what's up. The big debate on this was when Thoroughbred went FA and I think it is kind of a settled issue for now. Montanabw (talk) 20:29, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
