Hey all, I copyedited the blurb extensively to incorporate elements of the entire lede, which put more emphasis on his horse-breeding, which is what he is best-known for today. Strugled to keep it under 1200 characters, had to reword a few things differently from how they were phrased in the lede, but hope the blurb is a better summary. Also used a different photo, when he was younger and happier... and on a horse (which might draw in more readers than his grumpy old man photo) Montanabw(talk) 20:48, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- @Dank: We have a minor problem with the "no aliases" rule here because this fellow is almost universally known as W.R. Brown in horse breeding circles. (Seems to be a family thing, his father and at least one of his brothers is similarly known primarily by initials). Not sure the solution, but wanted to let you know that this was a "thing." Be good if somehow it could be reincorporated into the blurb. Montanabw(talk) 02:39, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Sure, added. I'm going back through Bencherlite's work trying to figure out what the no-alias rule means. - Dank (push to talk) 05:06, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Works for me. Maybe just ask Bencher, or did it predate him? (I suppose with a 1200 character limit, too many aka names could be a problem in some cases. ) Montanabw(talk) 05:13, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
