User talk:GaitedHorses

I merged your new Spanish Jennet article with an already existing article titled Jennet, no sense having two articles on the same thing. Had you checked the list of horse breeds more closely (Jennet is listed with the "archaic" types farther down the page) and done a word search of wikipedia like people are supposed to do when starting new articles, you would have spotted this. That said, you had some substantive content in your article which I incorporated into the former one. I don't mean to be snarky, I just have had a lot of different people messing up things today, yours was one of the more minor problems. Montanabw (talk) 03:13, 27 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Hate to say it, but an "eight year old registry" is most assuredly NOT a "breed." It looks like a bunch of people mad at the Paso registries for not accepting cropout horses with excess white who are now also crossbreeding with Appys.  It may be a club, in 20 or 30 years it MIGHT be a "breed," but this is what, the 10 millionth "registry" for gaited horses with spots (at least the third).  Commercial articles are not appropriate for wikipedia.  I'm sorry, but you are lucky that this was merged with some material kept, some of these get tagged for deletion.  I suppose if you could provide some membership statistics and number of registered animals, we could reconsider.    Montanabw (talk) 03:49, 27 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I am sorry but I am not going to unmerge unless you provide some PROOF that this is a "breed" with an association that is more that two people who don't get along with the Paso registry who took all their marbles and started their own club. (And with such statistics, I just might reconsider my decision). By the way, you also need to go in and fix Walkaloosa], the photos aren't properly formatted,  Use the "thumb" syntax described at the help page for images.  I'm not unsympathetic to your efforts to work on articles, but commercial promotion is not allowed on wikipedia and bullying is not going to get you anywhere, either.  Please check your edits and learn the syntax, it takes a while.  Montanabw (talk) 03:59, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Need help with images?
I see the wikigods aren't happy with your uploads. The WP:IMAGES articles give you some guidelines, but are a bit convoluted. Short version of a long story is that if you legally label them as GDFL ("copyleft") or Public Domain, then you keep everyone happy. If you go in and fix that, the risk of deletion goes away. If you cannot legally make them free (if a professional photographer sold them to you, for example, but s/he holds the copyright), sometimes you can get them in with a "fair use" rationale, but that's a LOT tougher for "generic" illustrations. (Most fair use photos are of famous individuals where no free images exist)

Oh, by the way, you may not need to explain the coat color thing so much in your Spanish Jennet Horse article, you may be able to cross link to equine coat color, overo, tobiano, and sabino horse and, maybe leopard (pattern) instead. (Lots of people don't know all those article are hiding out there) Also, check out the "paso gaits" section of ambling, no sense reinventing the wheel and maybe there are some things you can to do expand that section in the ambling article too. (If footnoted, anyway). Good luck! Montanabw (talk) 03:28, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
