User:Aspening/Current work

This is a list of articles and other things I am working on or plan to work on, primarily in the Wikipedia mainspace. I do not own these articles, and you are more than welcome to help me (and others) improve them by making constructive edits. However, if you would like to help out with any of my userspace drafts, please let me know on my talk page first. The articles listed here are not necessarily the priorities of any WikiProject, but merely articles that I feel need some level of improvement or need creation. I usually find them just by browsing Wikipedia.

Please don't edit this page, as it's a user page and user pages should generally not be edited if asked not to edit them. This page is for my reference only, so you probably won't need to make any edits here anyway. If you think that there is an issue on this page, please let me know on my talk page.

If you have suggestions for any of my userspace drafts, please ask permission before editing them. Wikipedia is a collaborative project, and I'll most likely let you help with my userspace drafts if you ask me and have a history of good edits. Asking is just a courtesy so I can keep track of progress and content on my drafts.

If you're working on an article for anything under Needed articles that I haven't already started a draft for, please let me know, so that I a) don't make a duplicate article; and b) can help you out if you'd like me to.

Kentucky Oaks Project
I'm working on a project to create more articles about winners of the Kentucky Oaks, since so few of them have articles despite being notable. If you are interested in helping out, you can help by either creating your own userspace drafts or helping me with mine. If you make a userspace draft yourself, I would appreciate it if you could leave me a message on my talk page so I can keep track of progress on this project and don't create any duplicate articles or userspace drafts. I can also provide some help or guidance if you would like.

Completed
These are articles that I've already published in the mainspace as a part of this project. Expansions are always welcome.


 * Blush With Pride
 * Goodbye Halo


 * Two Bob

In progress
These are articles that are currently userspace drafts. I welcome constructive edits to my userspace drafts if you let me know beforehand that you will be editing them.

Wanted articles
These are articles I would like to start soon but have not yet.


 * Believe You Can
 * Flute
 * How
 * Miss Dogwood
 * Secret Status

 * Viva America

Need more information
These are articles I would like to start, but am not finding much information on their subjects despite the subject being more notable than other Kentucky Oaks winners in some way.


 * Native Street became an important broodmare, but I'm not finding much information on Native Street herself, only her descendants.
 * Vinaigrette was the first Kentucky Oaks winner, but there is next to no information out there about her.

Racehorses
These horses are Grade I winners, champions, or other horses that have received substantial news coverage per WP:GNG (i.e. Patch receiving lots of media attention due to his only having one eye).


 * Marquetry (horse) (in progress)
 * Mor Spirit
 * Patch (horse) (in progress)
 * Paulassilverlining
 * Unique Bella

 * Iowa Oaks (horse race) (Grade III at Prairie Meadows)
 * Kona Gold Stakes (Grade II at Santa Anita)
 * Precisionist Stakes (Grade III at Santa Anita)

Fixing
These are existing articles that need some sort of fixing.
 * Battle of Midway (horse) - most sections need to be rewritten
 * Cougar II Handicap - needs race records and table with past winners
 * Gunnevera - needs expansion on racing career
 * Hanshin Cup Handicap - needs race records and table with past winners
 * Matron Stakes (Churchill Downs) - needs race records and table with past winners

Other
These are other tasks I need to get done or ongoing tasks that I (or you!) can help with.

 * Fact checking and citations
 * Find graded stakes (particularly at large tracks) that do not yet have pages
 * Work on essay: Just because something is unflattering doesn't mean it should be deleted
