Talk:Horses in Sudan

Can we get a few things straight?
Can we get a few things straight, please? There is no 'Gharkawi', it's a misprint for 'Gharbawi', deriving from gharb (غرب), 'west', and meaning roughly 'westerner'; I think I've removed all references to it. The Tunisian Barbarin is a breed of fat-tailed sheep, just no idea what that's doing in here. The Barb is not one of the four breeds reported to DAD-IS by Sudan (go here, insert 'Sudan' and 'Horse'). And a photograph of a Fulani/Peul horseman on a Burkinabè horse taken by Jan Broekhuijse in 1969 some 4000–5000 km from Sudan can't conceivably be shown to be a Sudanese Country-Bred (yes, someone had mistakenly added it to a 'Sudanese horses' category on Commons, but as some corrupt American president (I forget which one) supposedly said, "Trust ... but verify"). Just my opinion, but nothing on fr.wp should be taken at face value; instead of blindly translating poor or erroneous content, it's both much easier and much more productive to write new content based on what the sources actually say (provided they are reliable, of course).

 * There is an ANI thread about FuzzyMagma right now. Feel free to nix anything added by FM which is poorly cited or irrelevant. And yes, fr.wp is atrociously sourced and rife with OR.   ▶ I am Grorp ◀  07:16, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
