American Quarter Horse
Welcome, Horseofcourse! It's always great to see new people who are interested in editing horse articles. A place that you may want to check out is WikiProject Equine, where a group of us collaborate on everything horse related. There are a few things you should remember when editing horse articles, though, like you did with American Quarter Horse. First, we need to be careful to abide by the neutral point of view policy here at Wikipedia. NPOV includes saying things like a horse "excels at all disciplines" and saying they are "spectacular jumpers" without a reliable source to back it up. Also, information that is already sourced should not be removed without first discussing it on the talk page, and it definitely shouldn't be removed and replaced by unsourced information. Wikipedia is also not the place to add rumors about anything, unless they can be verified by reliable sources. If you have any questions, please let me know, I'm always willing to help out a "newbie", as I remember quite well being one myself. Dana boomer (talk) 00:40, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
