Since the Netkeiba single-year table for specific races is almost never complete, would it be better to remove it? It could help avoid confusion and keep things cleaner! Mehmed Nâzım (talk) 11:23, 20 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Can you specify what you mean for a table for a specific race? I’m not sure I’ve seen something like that before. 🀰☯🀰Hexes54☯Talk to me🀰☯🀰 19:11, 20 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

At the bottom of each page, mostly in the References column, there is a Japanese and an English entry, with the Japanese one being the date, like 2025, and the English one being en. Mehmed Nâzım (talk) 19:14, 20 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I see what you mean now. I think the best option is to add only English netkeiba sources since netkeiba translates everything they publish into English anyway, but reworking all of these sections would likely take a while. Not saying you can’t start on it though 🙂 🀰☯🀰Hexes54☯Talk to me🀰☯🀰 19:56, 20 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

And what if, for example, there’s a 10-year gap in the data for a particular race? (since the statistics usually only go back to the 60s) Mehmed Nâzım (talk) 20:17, 20 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I think the best option is to leave it as is in those cases. Netkeiba is usually quite good but from what I’ve seen results for older horses are paywalled, and you can only sign up from Japan. The data is definitely out there but it just can’t be accessed easily. 🀰☯🀰Hexes54☯Talk to me🀰☯🀰 08:24, 21 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
