Ways to improve Ebony Horsewomen Equestrian and Agricultural Center
Hi, I'm Nick Moyes. TiffJ51, thanks for creating Ebony Horsewomen Equestrian and Agricultural Center!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. I hardly know where to start when it comes to telling you what's wrong with this article. So let's start on the positive: if cleaned up, it might just pass notability guidance, and not be put forward for deletion. But I'm not fully confident. Please read Your First article. I cannot determine if the article's subject is the equestrian centre, or Patricia Kelly herself. Which is it? It cannot be both. The article is far too long. Please immediately delete all the promotional waffle and irrelevant detail - especially all the copyrighted text you have lifted from their website. Read WP:NOTADVERTISING to see why you can't use Wikipedia to promote a subject in the way you have, and at such great length. I'm sorry to be so critical. It's often far better to start your career as a Wikipedia editor by making minor changes to existing articles, than diving straight in with a new article and falling foul of lots of complex policies and guidelines, and then getting put off when it gets criticised or put forward for deletion. I hope these recommendation are of some assistance.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

 * Thank you for acting on the copyvio notice on the text. This has now gone from 75% likelihood (with Earwig's copyvio tool), down to 2%, so it was OK for that notice to have been removed. Just a reminder - this really is a 'must read' for new editors: Your first article Nick Moyes (talk) 22:06, 16 June 2017 (UTC)


 * You are not blocked on Wikipedia. If you want to contest your block at the Wikimedia Commons, you'll need to do that over there. That said, it's not enough if you have permission to use those images. Firstly, to be considered "free enough" for the Commons (or for Wikipedia, though that also allows non-free content in some highly restrictive circumstances), the images must have been released by the copyright holder under a license that allows everybody to re-use and modify them for any purpose, including commercial purposes. Of course we also need evidence of such a release. I can't see what the images you uploaded were, but guessing by the file names, I rather doubt Ebony Horsewomen, Inc. would release their logo under a license that allows others to use it on EHI merchandise which they can sell for profit without paying royalties.
