 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Manual of Style

If you need help creating articles, let me know. Folks who represent organizations sometimes cross the line here on WP between being encyclopedic and writing advertising, but we who are more experienced editors can help you out if you ask. Because your user page says you are with an organization, you might want to see examples of pages we've done on other horse organizations that you can use as examples for style, content, and formatting. For example, one of the best is American Livestock Breeds Conservancy. A horse organization article that is pretty solid is American Quarter Horse Association. The important thing is to stay neutral in your tone (see WP:NPOV to see what I mean), don't copy things word for word and even direct quotes need attribution to the source, and be willing to have others edit your work, sometimes dramatically.

 * Actually, there's a problem: the userpage doesn't say you're with an organization, it says you are an organization. If this account is being used by the organization as a whole, that's not allowed. The account has been blocked, but you are all welcome to edit separately. DS (talk) 00:57, 11 November 2011 (UTC)


 * They're newbies, and probably just one person who is part of the group is doing all the work. But I see your point. And if one person, then a potential COI issue.  But they haven't edited since October, so maybe just some advice for doing it right.  Montanabw (talk) 03:16, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
