Kentucky Horse Park Arboretum

This has been unsourced for 15 years. That's 80 in Horse years. Please add reliable sources. Bearian (talk) 22:46, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

I'm not part of this WikiProject but I went looking for sources myself and there is very little out there. The Kentucky Horse Park website itself has no references to the arboretum and it is not labeled on their map of the park. I found exactly two sources (with the exact same content) that make a reference to it from around when the Wikipedia article was created. Not sure what the course of action should be. dot >:3 talk! 18:09, 14 June 2025 (UTC)

Stale draft

User:Justice4Yall/Hurstbourne Country Club is a stale draft within your scope. User:Justice4Yall has been inactive since June of 2023. Here are sources I found about it: [1][2][3][4]. Legend of 14 (talk) 23:05, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

Legend of 14 thanks but I think it fits more directly into WP:Louisville. Stefen 𝕋ower_{s among the rest!} ^{Gab • Gruntwerk} 02:14, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

Project updates and fixes

Yesterday and today, I went through the project to update and fix things: Here's what's changed:

• Last year, I had already done the work to figure out how to list our project's possibly undercategorized articles, and so I moved that work here from my sandbox, and now it's listed under "Current major backlogs" on the front page. Please read the instructions at the top before proceeding to add categories to listed articles.
• Some of our tools/lists built from database queries had a minor error in their SQL queries - those are now fixed.
• Our "Articles with old cleanup issues" page now includes issues from 2014.

Enjoy. Stefen 𝕋ower_{s among the rest!} ^{Gab • Gruntwerk} 21:28, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

Project updates and fixes (through July 7, 2025)

Here's the latest updates and fixes for WikiProject Kentucky:

• Made improvements to "Past Week's Hot Edits" on the front page:
  • Now floating the table on the right to make better use of screen real estate.
  • Ratings are now color-coded using the Wikipedia's official colors for such.
  • Backgrounds of rows now have alternating colors for easier readability.
  • Normally, the list is 10 entries, but it's now showing overflow entries if warranted by the final rank value ("Edits"). This was done to avoid chopping off useful information just to force an exactly sized list. And now, entries within ranks will be alphabetized.
• The Assessments page was brought more up-to-date. It had contained some inaccurate statements.
• On the "Recognized content" page, vital articles have been added.
• In the "Current major backlogs" section on the front page, a couple article counts and "Data Freshness" dates lagged hours behind reality, and this has been fixed. This data is now updated immediately after the underlying reports are updated.
• Stopped suppressing the table of contents, for enhanced readability of the project's pages. If doing this causes issues for the skin you use, please let me know.
• Rewrote the database queries used by lists/reports to generally be more robust and have better performance.
