  • Article meets the DYK criteria, suggest credit for User:Kiwipat as creator, but I'm unsure if the hook should suggest as it does that the horse won the gold medals when it's the rider that wins the medals. Perhaps
Horse and rider work together to win the medals (unless the rider is out there jumping the jumps on foot!) - but the rider's the one that gets to actually wear them. I prefer the original (it's more succinct, less beat-around-the-bush), but they're both technically correct. I've never seen a creator credited before when they had nothing to do with the DYK (I completely rewrote the article from the 3-line stub they created), but I'm not fussed either way. Thanks for the review. Dana boomer (talk) 18:45, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
The issue of whether we should refer to horse winning medals has been raised before in relation to the Olympics, but I think it's probably fine either way. Creator mainly gets credit as the fact being used as the hook was already present in the stub they created.
Good to go with either the original or the alt I'll let whoever comes along to promote it choose - Basement12 (T.C) 21:35, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
