Typical talk page discussion thread
"[The] readers will not be privy to the massive undercurrents of dross that underpins WP. They require well written, well sourced, encyclopaedic material that can inform, enlighten and satisfy their interest."

"We live a time when criticism, especially here on Wikipedia, is considered to be a personal attack, which is at the root of this nonsense. Yet without criticism we can't improve."
"Montana, you know I respect you greatly--you write FAs that have fewer adjectives than that outburst."

"Every edit, especially bold ones, is disruptive. Disruptive just means changing the status quo and because Wikipedia is in a constant state of evolution, it is in a constant state of disruption ..."

Happy Montanabw's Day!
User:Montanabw has been identified as an Awesome Wikipedian,
and therefore, I've officially declared today as Montanabw's day!
For being such a beautiful person and great Wikipedian,
enjoy being the Star of the day, dear Montanabw!
Rich Hall is full of bullshit (see image above for evidence of topography); he could be confusing Montana with Kansas, but more likely, as his bio says he lives in Livingston, Montana, he's trying to throw off the tourists. (like the legend why they named Greenland "Greenland" and Iceland "Iceland") Another case of "close the gate AFTER I get here! (sigh) ;-) Montanabw(talk)22:52, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Montanabw, I see you have the account creator bit. I've recently been recruited to be the technical adviser for an edit-a-thon to be held at a local museum, probably in October. My impression is that most of the volunteers there are going to be newcomers who may not have accounts before that day. I've advised the organizers at the museum to try to encourage volunteers to register accounts in advance, but we're surely going to have some who don't do that. I understand that you can, as a person with the bit, waive the 6-registrations per 24-hour rule at Special:CreateAccount. How does that work? Is it waived by IP address or does it have to be done on an account-by-account basis? Would you be able to do it for us in advance or does it have to be done in real time on the date of the event? Best regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 17:26, 29 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I haven't actually had to use it yet, but probably will need to at a shindig I'm working on next month. I'd suggest that you ask for the bit. I had @Keilana: do it for me. Perhaps if you ask her, she can get you set up. Yes, with the bit, you do the account setup other people via that page, they have to give you a user name and password (and I think an email) but once their account is set up, they can go into the prefs and change their password.

Hi there! At TAFI, we do collaborative projects every week. I noticed that you made a contribution to Igloo, so I thought you might be interested in checking us out. Thanks! Bananasoldier (talk) 14:49, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
See the editwarrior at Race (human classification) who keeps trying to insert "biological" in front of "social". Another likely suspect for future issues at the taxonomic article. If they don't get their way at the one article, they may try to get it at the other. The source research I did today for the human article (which frankly seemed more important to deal with, both as to topic impact and immediacy) can be used to short-circuit any attempt at such crap at the taxonomic article. Not sure the RM to "(taxonomy)" will proceed until after that stub is rewritten, but I'm running out of time to do anything with it today, may be too busy to do it this weekend, too. — SMcCandlish ☺☏¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 05:33, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hey I tried to clarify that the Silver Shadows Shiek is a black horse on the Percheron page, you fairly removed my edit. I have a scan of the official pedigree document from Percheron Association. Seems a bit overboard to addthat as an image on the wiki page... any thoughts on how i can use that as a source/citation? The horse was also discussed in that year's issue of the official program of the international Percheron association.
Well, User:Snowman727, what we need is verification that he stayed black as an adult horse; lots of "official" registrations have horses listed by their foal color at birth and weren't updated when they grayed out. An "official program" describing the horse as an adult as black or gray would work, though. If the program was not copyrighted, you can scan and upload it to commons. If it is copyrighted, it might be acceptable as a "fair use" document here. See WP:IMAGE. Montanabw(talk)23:48, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Reining in the idioms ...
I just found another idiom that I did not realize was horsey: to take something "in stride". To quote The American Heritage Dictionary of Idioms: "This idiom alludes to a horse clearing an obstacle without checking its stride. [c. 1900]". [1] -- Softlavender (talk) 07:49, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! Yippee. Okay, the only downside to my first GA is sending it to DYK. But, I learned a lot from it. When Dr. B said 10K in chars I thought he was out of his head. Actresses, sure, but an obscure, though important, doctor with all Spanish sources? As crazy as it was to type those 20 pages for you, it helped, because I pulled a lot of little tidbits in and then Ian and Dr. B worked it over. I think I shall just enjoy for a few days that it is approved before I send it to the cabal. SusunW (talk) 05:16, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I really, really, really wanna put vaginoscope in the hook 3:). One other question and I am going to bed so will read it tomorrow. Is it now something other than "start" class? Those designations bamfoozle me. SusunW (talk) 06:11, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. ...... that Argentine doctor Maria Teresa Ferrari, first female university professor in Latin America invented a prize winning vaginoscope? Too controversial? "Not interesting enough"? SusunW (talk) 15:39, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yay! I would have made it a double nomination since they hate those so much if I knew what to say about the apparatus to make it a 1500 character article and I may still do it. LOL SusunW (talk) 18:57, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Shergar Cup, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Handicap (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
Hey, Montanbw, I just didn't want you to think I was ignoring your offer over at Harej's talk page. You're right that the Amon Carter Museum of American Art has a substantial collection of Russells (and Remingtons) and, indeed, it was originally named the Amon Carter Museum of Western Art and from its founding in 1961 until 1967 only focused on art of the American West; it began expanding its collection to include 19th and 20th century American art in 1967 and was renamed to its current name in 2010. When's your event? Ours is October 10. Have you done one before? I've not and I'm feeling my way along on this one. Best regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 16:08, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Got "ya boy" for 2016...
was looking at Lincoln Chaffee's Wikipedia article and after graduating from Brown he headed out to Montana, graduated from MSU-Bozeman, and then began to ply his trade as a farrier, at various harness racetracks. Really...:-) Freddiem (talk) 21:29, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
And, technically, almost all (like 99%+) "white" Arabians are actually gray! Just an FYI! See gray (horse). (Technically, there is an extremely small number of horses with W11 or one other dominant white allele, but that's a totally different issue.). Montanabw(talk)21:19, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I'm going to try it again. By the way I know about the 'white' horses but I decided white would sound better than 'gray Arabian mare'. As a kid I always called them that because I didn't know better. I explained my name on my talk page if anybody wants to read it.White Arabian mare (talk) 21:25, 16 August 2015 (UTC)White Arabian mare[reply]
I saw where you answered my post on the Arabian horse talk page about the foal temperaments. Well, I found my source. It was in an October 1999 issue of Western Horseman, the old All-Breed Issue where they published reports from each major breed association. The statement about foal temperaments was in the Arabian article, which was described as being written by the IAHA director of marketing. (Of course that was before the IAHA merged with the Arabian Horse Registry of America.) I have the magazine in my house.
Feel free to check out my talk page anytime. I have several horse topics up there. White Arabian mare (talk) 16:30, 17 August 2015 (UTC)White Arabian mare White Arabian mare (talk) 16:30, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Rosie said you are collecting info on women for an edit-a-thon on Montana women. I ran across this article Montana female photographers awhile back and found it interesting. Haven't decided if there is enough there for bios or what--maybe women's employment options on the frontier. Only one of them seems to have her own bio on Wikipedia.

@WilliamJE:, what I'm getting is that the California Cup Distaff (a turf race)apparently merged into the (California) Sunshine Millions Filly and Mare Turf Sprint and that there is a Cal Cup Derby and Oaks now too, but I think on dirt [3]horseracingnation. com/stakes/California_Cup_Distaff_H.
