Articles needing expansion
[edit]Hiya, I read your comment at Wikipedia:Bot_requests, but that's a page for editors requesting a bot to perform automated tasks. There's no shortage of articles requiring expansion, but first ask yourself what you find interesting and if you have access to reliable secondary sources on such subjects. You could simply browse through articles and see if anything needs your help. You could also post a message at the various portals that exist for certain subject areas. Follow the links if you like to know more. Happy editing, Cavila (talk) 07:36, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi Do you know if they need any help with a new Arabian horse article? I wrote a report in school and thought they might.
- Hi, Grace - good question! The Arabian horse article on Wikipedia already looks pretty complete, but if you look it over and find that it's missing something that you think is important, feel free to update it! As always, make sure that any changes you make are accompanied by reliable sources. If you need more help with that specific subject, I recommend asking at Talk:Arabian horse for feedback from people with more horse knowledge than me. :-) Tim Pierce (talk) 16:21, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
