Talk:The Horseman's Word

Article needs a lead section
Hi, nice work you've been doing on the article. I see you removed the lead section, and the article now needs a new one. The purpose of the lead is to very briefly summarise the article and orient the reader; often readers won't be looking for detailed info and will read the lead only. There's no problem if the lead repeats some of the stuff mentioned later on. Cheers, Fuzzypeg talk 04:44, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Fiction
There is a novel by George Mackay Brown called Greenvoe which is structured around "The Ancient Mystery of the Horsemen" and is set in Orkney. I would put this into the article but I don't know how to format references or bibliography thing... Thought i'd put it here in case anyone's REALLY interested. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.215.4.245 (talk) 14:07, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Who changes this?
This page begins in the past tense ie. it 'was' and it's members 'were'. This is not factual, but is evidently believed by someone who is not a member. I am a member in Orkney. The Horseman's Word still exists in Scotland, albeit a shadow of it's former self, but it is not in the past tense (nor am I). If Wikipedia is to become more than a secondary source with misinformation then someone needs to take heed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Admasster (talk • contribs) 13:12, 30 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia is neither a primary nor a secondary source; it's a tertiary source. It's great that someone with up-to-date knowledge of the Horseman's Word has posted here. It would also be very much appreciated if you could contribute to this article. If rather than writing a whole section or rewriting the whole thing you prefer to suggest additions or corrections for discussion, or to note certain facts that aren't mentioned in the article, or that are misunderstood, please do so here in this thread. I for one would love to learn more about this organisation, including its present-day activities, from a person such as yourself who has first-hand knowledge. Thanks!
