Wow, what a pleasant surprise! I never expect my edits to be noticed and appreciated as I make them purely for my own enjoyment. Thank you for making my day! WikiContributor0830 (talk) 13:23, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Aw, thanks for the strawberries! Tbh, I was suspicious at first because subtle changes to numbers match a pattern of vandalism I'd seen in the past, but when I checked out the source... well, it looks like maybe that vandal had hit the article some time ago and you fixed it. Much appreciated! -- Avocado (talk) 13:53, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

	... is that right? 10 months in a row? With your help, the WikiProject's top 5000 list of short descriptions has been cleared for November 2025, an especially huge milestone when the list used to "only" be 3000 articles per month! Well done. Your work has made Wikipedia better :-). LR.127 (talk) 19:07, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! You reverted my edit on Secretariat's page, saying the video was from a random YouTube channel, but it isnt! its the NYRA's official youtube channel. I understand if links to videos aren't standard on eng wikipedia, but Secretariat's performance at Belmont is probably one of the most important career feats in the history of horse racing. Shouldn't it be included? I'd like to understand. Ty in advance Rosoviakosmos (talk) 22:36, 24 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Rosoviakosmos -- thank you for pointing out to me that it's an official channel -- I hadn't realized that! Nonetheless, linking inline to YouTube isn't the solution. Instead:

• If there's a public domain video that is legal to host on Wikimedia Commons, we upload the video there and can embed it in the article.
• If there's an official video upload on YouTube or a website -- such as from the TV station that originally recorded it -- we can put a link to that recording in the External Links section of the article. That seems like it may be an appropriate solution in this case.
• If neither of those options is viable, we make do without the video. People who are interested can use a search engine to find one wherever it might be out there on the web.

If you still disagree, please begin a conversation on [[Talk:Secretariat (horse}|the talk page]] of the article and work toward building a consensus. -- Avocado (talk) 23:21, 24 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
