Copyright
Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. I have deleted your draft at Draft:Horses and Humans Research Foundation because it used text directly copy/pasted from here or alternatively from another source. Regardless, the material is copyrighted. We can not accept such material here. Also, I am placing a warning below regarding paid editing. Please abide by it. If you have questions, let me know. Thanks, --Hammersoft (talk) 21:52, 24 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi Hammersoft,
 * I was under the impression that quotes with proper citation would be acceptable. If this is not the case, I will be happy to restructure this article. Please let me know.

Paid editing
Hello EquiNox8476. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:EquiNox8476. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. --Hammersoft (talk) 21:52, 24 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi Hammersoft,
 * Thank you for the concern. I am not being paid to promote this business. I am an unpaid intern at HHRF and am not being compensated to generate this content. Also, before I began this draft, I did already post a conflict of interest disclosure on my page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:EquiNox8476. Please let me know what further steps i need to take, and I will gladly do so. Thank you for keeping Wiki safe and honest! 2600:6C64:7800:2BFA:F888:3452:5F05:B9ED (talk) 16:02, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Writing about things in an encyclopedic manner with which you are closely affiliated is very difficult. Being directed by your employer (unpaid or not, you're an employee) to write an article doesn't mean we have to accept it. I strongly recommend you find reliable, secondary sources to support such an article and ask at Requested articles. --Hammersoft (talk) 20:51, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
