Note: I added a bio for Nijinsky II at Find A Grave.com and requested he be listed in their "Famous Horse" section. I was informed by Find A Grave.com that Nijinsky II did not fit their definition of a "Famous" racehorse. I felt this smacked of American egocentrism (e.g. Find A Grave lists Swale as a famous racehorse) and e-mailed (info@findagrave.com) them back with even more reasons and asserting that beyond what Nijinsky II accomplished, ALL Triple Crown wiinners are famous. I never received a reply. - Handicapper 14:59, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "For registration clarification, he was recorded as Nijinsky II."
Why? For a non-specialist (like me) reading, there's no obvious reason why the "II" needed to be added. Please explain this. 86.132.140.129 00:47, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
It's to distinguish him from other horses named Nijinsky, mostly for breeding pedigrees. A very wise decision bigpad (talk) 21:38, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
The name of the horse was Nijinsky, not Nijinsky II. The title of this article is nonsense. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.77.80.2 (talk) 18:50, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
- I think the suffix "II" is sometimes used to denote imported horses; I remember being confused by seeing what I thought was the same horse with two slightly-different names. Wi2g 22:25, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
- Same thing with Sea Bird (II). In Australia they put "My" or "Our" before the name of imported horses which is even worse. In my articles he is always Nijinsky.Tigerboy1966 (talk) 19:36, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Nijinsky-Sampsonbookcover.jpg
Image:Nijinsky-Sampsonbookcover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Improvements
I've cut out quite a bit of stuff that was either redundant or unreferenced. I am starting to build it up again so don't worry. Will be completed in next 24-48 hours. Tigerboy1966 (talk) 00:18, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
