- Ref #2 says that she bred over 2,800 foals while ref #7 says 2,500 foals and 70 years. How about ALT2: ... that Bazy Tankersley bred over 2,500 Arabian horses in a career as a horse breeder that spanned over 70 years? —Vensatry (Ping me) 16:28, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

No, on that one, ref #2 is the more RS; it is from the Arabian Horse Association, which keeps the registry and has access to the database, so if they say "2800" they have access to the exact numbers. Plus ref 7 was from a 2012 interview with a newspaper, where they simply said "over" 2500, but not how far over...and the 2012 foal crop may not have been completely registered by that time, either (so numbers from 2012 less accurate than 2013 data) ;-) So on that one I'd prefer to stick to the 2800 number. However, if it's a real headache, we can discuss further. Montanabw(talk) 15:26, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
- The problem is ref #2 does not mention anything about how many years she looked after those foals. Correct me if I'm missing something. —Vensatry (Ping me) 16:53, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
- "Breeder" is a legal status, generally the owner of the mama mare at the time of foaling. It's what shows up on the foal's registration papers. So it doesn't matter who "looked after" the foals (At her place the "looked after" people probably were multiple employees anyway, when you have dozens of foals arriving every year...) it's how many times her name pops up in the database as the "breeder" of a foal, and foals generally are registered some time in their first year, though when varies -- the registry offers big discounts on registration fees if they do it before a foal is six months old, but that's probably because most people drag their feet at least that long... ;-) Oh, and, the Ahneman-Rudsenske source on page 62 also verifies the 2800 foals number. That article at the top of page 64 also implies, though doesn't quite say so directly, that she first started "breeding" horses in 1941. Montanabw(talk) 22:49, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
- That being the case, cite those sources for the hook. No point in relying on #2 and #7 alone. —Vensatry (Ping me) 17:10, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
