April 2011

I've reverted your additions to

Mustang (horse) as they were obviously a copy-paste of information from another website or from another copyrighted source. Wikipedia welcomes contributions, but not copyright violations, which copy-pasting information from another site is. Please read the links above to learn how to contribute to Wikipedia!

And I have again reverted your additions to
Wikipedia's rule against more than three reversions in a 24 hour period. Please let me know if you have any questions, Dana boomer (talk) 02:25, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page

external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 02:27, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply

Shari, please stop and take your sources and discussion to the talk page of the article, located at
Talk:Mustang (horse). Continually reverting multiple editors and a bot is not a good way to begin editing on Wikipedia. I understand that you strongly believe in your position, but you need to discuss with other editors, or you will end up being blocked from editing. Again, please let me know if you have any questions. Dana boomer (talk) 02:42, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to

Mustang (horse), without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 03:24, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply

Reply to your post on my page

For now, I have reverted your edits to my talk page, but am replying here to let you know why. They are an obvious copy of several sources, including journal and news articles. This copying is very much NOT ALLOWED by Wikipedia guidelines, as by hosting this content we are violating the copyright of the organizations that initially printed this material. Wikipedia welcomes your contributions, but they need to be made in collaboration with other editors, and they must not include copyright violations - they need to be put into your own words and properly sourced to

Mustang talk page, you will see that this discussion has been had many times before, and has resulted in a passage being added into the article in the Ancestry section detailing this controversy. At this point, the majority of scholars hold that they are "feral", not "wild", and so Wikipedia must show that as the prevailing view. Opinions do not matter. Again, please let me know if you have any questions, but please do not post copyright violations to my talk page or any other page on Wikipedia - they will be reverted.
