User talk:Kakelly17

Hi, saw you are updating the road to the Kentucky Derby page; any chance you can also update the point standings for the individual horses? I can probably get to it eventually, but my eyesight is not great and I have a real hard time doing charts, plus I have a lot of other articles to watch. But if you can't, I can, just wanted to give you the nod that your help is appreciated. Montanabw (talk) 22:02, 17 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Ditto Road to the Kentucky Oaks? No list at all there. and also, a little encouragement and thanks:  Montanabw (talk) 00:13, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm glad to help. I am in the process of editing the Road to the Kentucky Oaks page this weekend.Kakelly17 (talk) 19:16, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

  Pony!

Congratulations! For your work on Road to the Kentucky Derby and Road to the Kentucky Oaks, you have received a "road warrior" pony! Ponies are cute, intelligent, cuddly, friendly (most of the time, though with notable exceptions), promote good will, encourage patience, and enjoy carrots. Treat your pony with respect and he will be your faithful friend! Montanabw (talk) 00:13, 22 February 2014 (UTC) To send a pony or a treat to other wonderful and responsible editors, click here.

Next round
Hi Kakelly,

Our next mission, unless someone else gets to it, is to use 2013 Kentucky Derby as a template to expand 2014 Kentucky Derby which I set up, but haven't populated. I have to confess I have other fish to fry, but if you give me a ping on my talk page or something, I'll at least lurk and help a little. Maybe see if WP Horse racing has a regular there who creates these? I don't know the history, though they always seem to get done... Montanabw (talk) 02:35, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

No problem. I will try to work on that page this week some time. I am going to update the final Derby points standings tonight. Kakelly17 (talk) 22:34, 20 April 2014 (UTC)


 * I think I got them. The official list dropped a bunch.  Ping Froggerlaura if you need help with the race articles, I haven't done much with those...  Montanabw (talk) 05:42, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Well, that was an obnoxious rejection! Hey, Kakelly17, I think it's a GREAT idea to create an article for each year.  Just don't use that pit that is AfC... you've been around long enough, tell you what,  let's work together to make the main article into an overview and then split off ALL the years (but title them for the year of the Derbe itself, i.e. 2013, 2014, 2015).   Montanabw (talk)  05:49, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree! There's a separate page for each Derby, why not one for each Road?  I'll have more time to work on this project in a couple of weeks. Kakelly17 (talk) 07:55, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Wanna project?
2015 Kentucky Derby is still a redlink. You can steal 2014 Kentucky Derby as a basic template, just leaving stuff blank. I'd do it, but I don't have the time right now, too much wiki-drama elsewhere and my RL is kind of busy too... Montanabw (talk) 22:54, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
 * No problem. I created the page from the red link but the main title ended up being lower case letters and it's something that I don't know how to fix.  Kakelly17 (talk) 12:29, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I fixed it now. Kakelly17 (talk) 12:35, 15 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Yay! Thanks!  Montanabw (talk)  05:16, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
