Equine conformation
Hi Equineevalclass, and again, welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed that you began editing the Equine conformation article at the same time as several IPs - are you "in charge" of them? Is it some sort of class project? If so, that's great! It's an article that's in pretty bad shape, so can use the TLC. I just have a couple of comments, just to make sure you're not heading down the wrong path with regards to editing - These are probably the biggest two pieces of information that deal with that article. We can get into images and everything else later :) Please let me know on my talk page (linked in my signature) if you have any questions, or ask on the article's talk page, the WPEQ talk page or ask another great equine editor, User:Montanabw, whose talk page is located at User talk:Montanabw. Thanks! Dana boomer (talk) 13:50, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Generally, the style guide for WP (it's huge, I don't expect you to read it all right away, and I don't think there's anyone who understands every piece of it) prefers prose to bulleted lists. The reason the equine conformation article originally had lists was that whoever started it apparently didn't know this rule, and it just kept evolving that way. It had been on our to-do list for a while over at the Equine WikiProject (WPEQ), but we just hadn't gotten to it yet. So, any work that you and the others could do in turning all of those ugly lists into prose would be much appreciated.
 * Information on Wikipedia must be based on verifiable sources that are also reliable. Again, the article didn't have those before because of how bad of shape it was in. Basically, say where you're getting the information - a veterinary manual? A text book? Another internet site? A journal article? There are a few of us from WPEQ watching the article and so if you aren't quite up on wiki-markup you could even just insert them into the text (perhaps in brackets?) and then we can format them for you.
