Thoughts on whether or not their page should be "renamed" to either Lac La Croix Indigenous Pony or Ojibwe Horse and have the current "Lac La Croix Indian Pony" be one of the "also known as"?

The Ojibwe Horse Society seems to be their main society and refers to them as the Ojibwe Horse, but acknowledges the importance of the Lac La Croix First Nation in saving the breed from extinction. Canadian Encyclopedia lists them as Lac La Croix Indigenous Pony and list the Ojibwa as the peoples who originally primarily bred them historically. Ontario Parks has two videos on Youtube about them, and seems to refer to them as both the Ojibwe Horse and the Lac La Croix Indigenous Horse.

Thoughts on a name update, especially seeing as the word "Indian" is not used anymore outside of describing something from the country of India? Whatasong (talk) 20:57, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I’d add the “also known as” comments and create a couple redirects. I tend to just explain the drama rather than creating stubs or name fights. Montanabw^(talk) 18:51, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've been rummaging through the articles on Template:FEI World Final and I'm finding a lot of excess information that doesn't need to be in an encyclopedia. Someone has been adding large tables of qualifying competitors, along with results tables for many of the preliminary competitions, and finally the winners (though not just the first 3 placings, often a long list of all competitors). Much of this information is a duplicate of what is available from fei.org, or some other "stats" websites. There is very little prose content; the creating wikipedian is duplicating their work from German-wiki, and their English is not very good.

What alerted me to this was a comment on a talk page asking what was meant by the strikethrough across competitor's names (no key, nothing in the content or talk page to explain it). Turns out, someone has been following the competitions and striking out competitors who had qualified, but didn't actually compete.

Why would we even list tables of qualifying competitors? Maybe list their names if they qualified (because that is an achievement, whether or not they actually compete in the finals), followed by the results of the competition. Some of the articles list huge tables keeping track of the "award points" from competition to competition. Come on, people, we don't need that level of detail in a Wikipedia article. That's what the FEI website is for. See also

Here is an example of one of these articles with far more information than is necessary.   ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 03:47, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I've been working on old pages without sources. I wonder if anyone here could help with adding suitable refs to Ben Faerie. Thanks JMWt (talk) 12:06, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any reason why we are keeping unsourced articles? For example, I came across
