Cotswold sheep
Hello. I noticed you added a substantial amount of information to the Cotswold sheep page. However, you need to provide references. I see that there are some links and such for pieces of the text but not for others. Do you have references that can be added to backup the information you provided? -- Blind Eagle  talk ~ contribs  12:16, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for reading/responding so fast. I do have a very large amount of references I can add. Very little is from the web, because most info on Cotswold sheep on the web is conjecture. Unfortunately, I can't add the references very quickly--after a whole lot of rain, I will be spending practically every daylight hour for the next several days shearing sheep. And too, deadline time for Sheep! Magazine (where I work) has just arrived, meaning near 24-hour concentration on the next issue. Lastly, the above post was my first attempt at any posting on Wiki, and I guess I am still not "up" on how to insert references. The only reason I posted that little bit of info on Cotswold sheep was that I saw inaccuracies in what was there--and once I get started, it's hard to stop me.--Gliding Owl (talk) 14:16, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

That's wonderful! I think we can definitely work together to get this article up to speed. First, I noticed that reference to Sheep! magazine and the editor's book. Well, we need to refer to the book and not the magazine. So, if you have a copy of the book or know where in the book you are citing, we can start there. I think this is a great place to start. We will work through the article together, methodically. -- Blind Eagle  talk ~ contribs  15:03, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
