Talk:American Horse of the Year

Anachronism

The article says that the award "has been awarded since 1887", which is just wrong. The title did not exist before 1936. You can't rewrite history like that just because a magazine (albeit a very good and reputable magazine) came up with a list of who would have won the awards if they had been around at the time. Please let me know if I have misunderstood this.Tigerboy1966 (talk) 23:38, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Suggestion

Divide table into sections:

• Eclipse award
• DRF/TRA awards
• DRF award
• pre-DRF era

Thoughts?  Tigerboy1966  02:27, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Tables

Have divided up the table as above. Let me know what you think.  Tigerboy1966  00:45, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

Blood-horse list

The problem with the Blood-horse list is that it is just a list. There is no indication of what the names before 1936 represent, or how the "awards" were made. Is there an article available which accompanies this chart?  Tigerboy1966  03:07, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Sortability

I have made the tables sortable. Unfortunately, the process means that the tables look less neat than they did before. Which is preferable?  Tigerboy1966  10:05, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Edit Summary

The edit summary "removed POV" for this diff is misleading [1]. The table was divided up exactly as described in the text. Once again can I please ask you to discuss this issue either here or on the relevant talk pages instead of just reverting. What was wrong with dividing up the table in the way I did? Tigerboy1966  03:03, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Bold

Some of the names were in bold, with no explanation. I've got nothing against bold text, but there needs to be some explanation.  Tigerboy1966  20:37, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
