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.

Hello!
[edit]Hi, Maymers7 -- welcome to Wikipedia! As Ian mentioned, the Teahouse is a great resource for new editors. But did you know that Wikipedia also has an extensive help library for common questions? Of course, if you run into a question or problem, you're always welcome to get in touch with me either by email or on my talk page. Happy editing! Fraudoktorkatie (talk) 14:30, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
Peer Review
[edit]Hi Jenna!
First of all, I hope I found the right article that you are working on. For some reasons, there is no talk page set up for the article. If I do find the right one, it seems like you are starting your own article. It is definitely a great accomplishment! - I wish I have the guts to start from scratch.
The first thing that is impressive is the overall structure. Typically, as a reader, I always scroll down to see the structure of article before diving into it. It pretty much has all the information I might be looking for. My only concern is if you have sufficient source to actually fill in. Forgive my ignorance, it seems like tail biting is one of the smaller scope topic. The lead section is very concise and well worded. I think you did a really good job to keep a neutral standpoint in such an interesting topic. If it was me writing the article, I would definitely mix my own feelings into it - which is bad for WikiPedia.
I sees where you are going with your article after breaking down the type of tail bitings, but as I mentioned above, it seems like there are a lot more information to fill in. I would recommend you to cut down the topic to Cause, Industry Effect and Prevention and management. I think the rest of the topics could be included in these three parts. Another thing that caught my eyes is there are a few hyperlinks that seem not quite relevant, such as abnormal or farm. I would recommend you remove all of irrelevant links while adding some for more complicated terminologies, which could also help your explanations.
I checked all of your six sources at the bottom of the page. They are all relatively new and certainly meet the standards of WikiPedia's requirements. As long as you make sure to paraphrasing and properly cited, you should be no problem regards plagiarism.
I hope you have fun working on your article. I am learning as I reading and reviewing your article. Good job and good luck!
