Regarding your article, Chihuahua Terriers
You are going to want to include some references. The page Reliable sources has the guidelines for what sort of stuff makes good references (generally, you'll want to use books, magazines, or websites that are not blogs). To put references in the article, just go up to the sentence you've got a reference for, and put
 * end of sentence.

When you put a website as a reference, please use the full address, creating a reference like
 * end of sentence.

I'd say "contact me on my talk page if you have any questions," but my activity here is a bit unstable recently, so I'd recommend taking any questions to the New contributors' help page for this article, and the help desk for other stuff. Ian.thomson (talk) 18:03, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I'm afraid there's another problem with the article. At the moment, it reads like a "how-to" manual for keeping this particular dog. This may be helpful for people, but I don't think this is the right place for this kind of article. Please read What Wikipedia is not, particularly Wikipedia is not a manual, guidebook, textbook, or scientific journal. Do you think you would be able to make it more encyclopedic? Otherwise, it will probably be deleted. You might want to try out sister project Wikibooks (at http://en.wikibooks.org) for this kind of article. Regards, -- Beloved Freak  18:47, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Chihuahua Terriers. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal the block by adding the text  below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. 48 hour block. Please take the opportunity to read up and learn how Wikipedia works, and how articles are supposed to be constructed, and that tags identifying issues are not criticisms but pointers toward resolving matters and are not to be removed until the concerns are addressed. Also, logging out to make the same edits as your underlying ip diminishes the good faith that might be extended to you and is one reason why this initial block is longer than would otherwise be the case.

Some help
I know that you may not like having those tags on your article, but they are there to let other editors know what needs to be done to improve the article. If you leave them alone, some other people also interested in editing articles about dogs will be able to find the article and work with you. But, if you remove them, work from other editors interested in dogs will be rarer. Ian.thomson (talk) 01:23, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Please stop. Continuing to remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Chihuahua Terriers, without resolving the problem that the template refers to may be considered vandalism. Further edits of this type may result in your being blocked from editing Wikipedia. Ol Yeller '''Talktome 04:15, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
