Thank you White Arabian Filly![edit]

Thanks for the welcome and for the links. I also appreciate your edits. I still have more to add to this page and am grateful for your help! Laureeb (talk) 18:18, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. I think an article on SmartPak is needed given the length of time they've been out there and the popularity of their products. I'll keep an eye on the draft and do more editing if I see anything it needs. If you have any questions you can ask on my talk/neigh page. ☺ White Arabian Filly ^Neigh 21:43, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ... please let me know if this looks ok if you are checking the page. I wanted to write on your page but it was very intimidating! I didn't know if this message was appropriate there. I am not employed in any way by Smartpak but I know people who work there. I like Smartpak because of their hilarious videos frankly which I included in the history but am not sure if I did it in an appropriate way (cited external source talking about them) Also I put in info about product recall but is this info too old? Please advise when you have a minute. Thanks! Laureeb (talk) 02:12, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Everything looks fine to me; I'll go through later and make a few links to other articles. References are often the biggest problem with drafts, and they are all fine...

Yes, I need to clear out my talk page and archive some of that stuff. If you want to leave a message, just click "New section" at the top. In the meantime, I'll try to archive a lot of it... White Arabian Filly ^Neigh 21:16, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(Trotting by...) I saw your draft also, Laureeb. If you need any help, just post a message to either WAF or me, or if you want to just post once, the WikiProject Equine talk page is a good place where there are a few other people lurking that can help you. Also, let us know when you think your draft is ready for mainspace and we can help you move it. (Sometimes the folks who review drafts don't understand horse topics and reject drafts for poor reasons.) And yes, I'm another fan of those goofy videos! The standard for sources is "third party, independent of the subject" -- other than direct company info (things like when they were founded can be sourced to their own web site, for example). Also, the coverage should be "significant" -- which is vague, but the more articles you can find on them from a wide variety of sources (particularly newspapers and trade magazines) the better. Blogs and Facebook generally are frowned upon as sources. Montanabw ^(talk) 20:13, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
