Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Adventureawaits123, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.
I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Notes
[edit]This looks pretty good, my main note here would be to just continue tweaking and editing. This needs more non-primary sources that isn't local and make sure that you're not too casual in your writing, which admittedly can take some time to get used to. Mostly I'm specifically looking at the sentence "They have lots of sponsors who raise awareness through the horse world and donate money to this cause", since it's a little vague. Other than that, this looks good! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:14, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
Nomination of Retired Racehorse Project for deletion
[edit]
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Retired Racehorse Project is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Retired Racehorse Project until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Huon (talk) 22:11, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
- I'd thought that the sources in the article should be enough, but it looks like more of them were primary than I'd thought and there are also some other issues with them. Please add non-primary, non-local sources to the article as soon as you can, to help make it more likely that the article will be kept. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 01:53, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
- Also, the sources should specifically go into some depth about the project. Mentions in passing can't really establish notability unless they're saying something of great import, like stating that the organization won a major award. Otherwise, these passing mentions are seen as trivial sources. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 01:55, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
