Were you trying to get this deleted? You attempted to add it to Articles for deletion/Log/2005 December 21 but it's a category, not an article. Please read the instructions at WP:CFD to see how to list categories for deletion.

Additionally, When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:


 * [[Image:Edit_Summary-2.png|Edit summary text box]]

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.  howch e  ng   {chat} 23:19, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Stubs
I notice you've created a number of articles with the tag. While it's great you're creating the stubs (every article has to start somewhere!), you may wish to use a more specific stub tag (such as ) to make it easier for interested and knowledgeable people to find and expand on your articles. Thanks! &mdash;LrdChaos 04:49, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject
Hi, Lou

Greetings from Australia. This is to alert you to a possible sudden increase in posts to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Thoroughbred racing.

I recently started a discussion on Racehorse categories at Category talk:Racehorses which subsequently brought up the subject of the need for a WikiProject for horse racing. I then became aware of the WikiProject_Thoroughbred_racing which you have created. Rather than create a similar project I have suggested that your project becomes a global thoroughbred project and we try and recruit people from all horse racing countries to contribute to articles on thoroughbred racing. I have therefore transferred the categories discussion to Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Thoroughbred_racing and asked for input on the enhanced project. - Cuddy Wifter 04:21, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Peter Pan Stakes
Another editor has added the "prod" template to the article Peter Pan Stakes, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also What Wikipedia is not and Importance). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at Talk:Peter Pan Stakes. If you remove the prod template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Thoroughbred horse Infobox template
Galopin has generously volunteered to help the WikiProject Thoroughbred racing create an Infobox and has done a great job. Take a look at his talk page (User talk:Galopin) for the two choices for the bottom box and those horses where I set up their box today using sample 1. Handicapper 18:10, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Mountaineer Race Track
A "" template has been added to the article Mountaineer Race Track, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. 172.164.16.129 12:38, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Blazing Rate

Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Proposed deletion of Barbican (horse)


The article Barbican (horse) has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * I don't believe this horse meets the notability guidelines for Wikipedia; his race record was not outstanding and unfortunately, he did not live long enough to establish himself at stud.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Miniapolis (talk) 02:03, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
