Chpuckett17, you are invited to the Teahouse!

Welcome to Wikipedia!
 Hi, Renamed user 157yagz567ef11, thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia! Here are some links that may help you:
You may also be interested in WikiProject Equine, which writes and improves articles about horses, horse sports (including the Olympic disciplines), horse care and training, or WikiProject Horse racing, which focuses on horse races, racehorses, and jockeys. Please remember to sign your talk page posts with four tildes ~~~~, which will automatically produce your username and the date. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me on my talk page. And again, welcome! White Arabian Filly Neigh 20:21, 25 July 2016 (UTC) |
Thanks for creating two needed articles, but next time, you can use Template:Infobox named horse, which is designed for use on biographies of horses. Also please note that pictures aren't allowed unless they are freely licensed. White Arabian Filly Neigh 20:23, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
Clean up your work
Hi, saw your edits and I would like to ask that you please disclose who you work for, because you appear to have a Conflict of interest. This does not mean you can't edit, but it means you have to disclose who is paying you to edit - even if you are just an intern and not precisely being paid, you are still working on articles under an employer's supervision. Say do on your user page here and on the talk page of any articles you are working on. Also, please learn how to use the citation templates (see WP:CITE for help) as your formatting is non-standard and creating a cleanup mess for other editors. (If you use just raw links, there is a program, ReFill that automatically does a lot of the formatting for you) We write with a neutral point of view here, and not with the promotional tone used in a magazine, so please also done down the flowery, promotional tone. We don't use phrases like "prestigious horse show" and so on. I did some cleanup work on a few articles you worked on. Please also be careful not to create articles about marginally-notable athletes and animals. We have some guidelines here that will help. I don't want to discourage you, but I did spend about an hour of cleanup work that I would prefer not to have to do. Thanks Montanabw(talk) 05:24, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
Conflict of Interest
Hello Chpuckett17. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a black hat practice.
Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.
Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Renamed user 157yagz567ef11. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Renamed user 157yagz567ef11|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. Template:Z159 I am not being compensated. Thank you.
