 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article
 * Simplified Manual of Style


 * A quick personalized message. Based on your user name and your edit to Mucho Macho Man, I'm guessing you might have a direct connection to this topic.  However, I'd like to help you out; Wikipedia can be kind of a rough place behind the scenes, and can present a steep learning curve!   Before you edit more, you might want to be sure to read the "five pillars of wikipedia" article linked above, as Neutral point of view is one of the absolutely core policies here, and closely related to it are the (probably infamous) Conflict of interest and Wikipedia is not a means of promotion guidelines. That said, I just created a very small article, Reeves Thoroughbred Racing, that you may want to look at and offer suggestions for expansion on the article's talk page (click the "talk" tab).  I'm just one of the many thousands of wikipedia volunteer editors, but I'm pretty active with the various horse-related articles would be glad to help you get started.  Feel free to post any questions to me here (I'll keep this page on my watchlist) or over on my talk page.  You may also be interested in WikiProject Horse racing.

Saw you popped by with a short edit. Just so you know, that material you edited was derived from the Reeves Thoroughbred Racing web site, here, the wording I used may have been misinterpreted from how I read that site. Apologies for any errors. Also of more importance, see below. Montanabw (talk) 19:57, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

 * and....we survived! This TFA got hit by vandals quite a bit today! (Look at the edit history for Oct 1)  Seems the article was quite the magnet for middle schoolers who seemed to have issues with a horse that was "Macho."  (smiles).  Thank the connections of MMM for the shoutout to wikipedia from MMM on Facebook and Twitter!  Saw it, appreciated it!   Montanabw (talk)  00:03, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
