See you are working on Schleswig horse, wanted to be sure you are aware of Holsteiner horse, already on wiki and to distinguish between the two if they are indeed different breeds. Also note Norfolk Trotter, which is a redirect of Yorkshire Trotter, which may be the same breed as your redlinked Yorkshire Coach Horse. (And many of these extinct English breeds would benefit from some work, if you are interested) Also added some standard templates to the draft for your benefit.

The holstein is a lightweight warmblood suited to eventing whereas a schleswig horse is a draught carriage horse - very different will link a phoot but can't upload due to copyright http://www.learn-about-horses.com/image-files/schleswig-horse.jpg. The norfolk trotter i believe to be distinct from the yorkshire trotteras the literature i have on them refers to them separately as they do the yorkshire coach horse. I am currently just going through the books i have on live breeds and adding or editing as i go. -- Palinodial ( talk) 11:47, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
Hey, if in the next day or so, you can expand the raw text of your new article from the about 1170 words it's at now to 1500 words, you can nominate your new article for Did you know?. I'd support you doing so and help you with the blurb and such. (They like something catchy, and it has to have a source). They are a little fussy over there, so if you can find one more source besides Draper, that would be ideal; you have to have it over 1500 words and nominate it within five days of it going into the mainspace and it has to meet the criteria here: Wikipedia:DYK#Eligibility_criteria. If you can't pull that off in time, you can also expand it fivefold later and DYK it then, but that's tougher. Montanabw (talk) 20:44, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

![]() | On 4 August 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Schleswig horse, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Schleswig horse is on the Food and Agriculture Organization's list of endangered domestic animal breeds, having reached a low of only 5 stallions and 35 mares in 1976? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Schleswig horse. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

If you have any information about the Gibraltar Rock race please leave information here with citations or if you're really interested we can colaborate on creation and share the work. To create Gibraltarpedia, we need to work together!

The project needs writers, photographers, translators and others to help build the first wiki city which bridges Europe and Africa. We are going to transform Gibraltar and the surrounding areas in Morocco and Spain into areas rich with encyclopedic content immediately accessible using QR codes and NFC on plaques for visitors and local people. There are prizes to reward contributors in the Gibraltarpedia Multilingual challenge for the best editors, photographs and cartographers... whoever you are. More at Gibraltarpedia.org |
