What kind of work is going to go into documenting the Pony Project ponies? From what I know, there have been three (2005, 2008, 2012) but I'm not really very familiar with them. I've managed to gather a few photos from various collections, but I'm not sure what the policy is here on uploading images not belonging to the uploader, and I wouldn't know how to categorize them anyway. Any help?

All the work I hope, I haven't gotten to it clearly. I suddenly realize I forgot to nab the images from the site and the site has been repossessed by bronies 0_0;

If you can dig up images like these http://montrealstateofmind.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/mylittlepony.jpg they can be categorized as stock photos.

Photos shouldn't be added unless they are stock photos or you have permission from the person who took them.

And here is the current ponies, http://shop.toyartgallery.com/-c-36 I'll add some, and link to that website in the comments, ie image from http://shop.toyartgallery.com

I found these sets, but as I'm not familiar with the sites I'm not sure how to contact the admins to ask for permission.

Are we going to make new pages for each pony? Each fair? Or keep the single pony project page and just put all the ponies on the page?

If we can find enough info on a pony it totally deserves it's own page! Linked to from the main project pony page. There are several photos for each pony on the toyartallery page to add that would only clutter up the main page, but be nice on a page just about each pony. The sale price and artist info too can be added. I wonder if one of them will be made into a smaller pony I can buy!

Some of these look like stock images (particularly the ones that have "sold" written on them: http://www.intothesea.com/MyLittlePony/IDPages/ThePonyProject/PonyProject.htm

Anybody know what's going on here? I haven't heard of this set before: http://www.intothesea.com/MyLittlePony/IDPages/ThePonyProject/PonyProject_2008_Dutch.htm

EDITEDITEDIT TONIGHT Apparently there were also some fashion ponies in 2004, similar to the Pony Project idea (but with regular sized ponies). There's a thread here that talks about it, but it seems all the links are dead: http://www.mlptp.net/forums/mlp-discussion/62426-2004-charity-ponies-really.html There's also a small post here http://www.intothesea.com/MyLittlePony/IDPages/ThePonyProject/FashionPonies_2004.htm but it seems the mod also doesn't know much about it. Any ideas?

(I should just leave the edit page open while I continue digging around...) Apparently there was also another event. I wish I knew more about this sort of thing, but that's why I'm blindly copying and pasting these things, right? http://www.intothesea.com/MyLittlePony/IDPages/ThePonyProject/FashionPonies_2009.htm

Damn, that is a lot of pony projects. I'll (eventually) or you are free to make pages for each apparent event. As for the pictures on intothesea... the owner needs to be asked. Although they mostly appear to be stock photos. I always reference other pony sites... and even when taking stock looking photos from pony sites I ask, I don't wanna burn any bridges. I'll try to remember to do some more digging.

and thank goodness for the wayback machine ;) http://web.archive.org/web/20081027160504/http://www.intothesea.com/MyLittlePonyID/ThePonyProject/FashionPonies_2004.htm
