Cleanup notes

There was a link to Evolution of the horse with the display text "Old World horses"; I didn't find the target text on a quick look at the target article, so I removed the link. --Una Smith (talk) 08:36, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

The article mentions occurrence in Chile; does that refer to the synonym Equus bautistensis? --Una Smith (talk) 09:35, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

"American Horse"

The reference for this name is Absoluteastonomy.com. Looking at that website shows a large amount of names that look to be translations of the scientific names to cover the fact that the taxa listed don't actually have a common name, and there is not indication of where the "common" names were found. This combined with the articles for the taxa are excerpts from wikipedia raise the question of how appropriate the the site is as a source. A google search with the terms "American horse" Equus scotti only brings up copies of the Absoluteastonomy.com and this wikipedia article. I would suggest deleting the American horse ref. unless a better source can be found.--Kevmin (talk) 21:12, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
