Contribute

Dressage Wiki is written and maintained by its editorial board and is not publicly editable — but it depends on readers with professional knowledge of the sport. Corrections, article proposals and offers of specialist review are welcome by email at contribute@dressage-wiki.com.

Reporting an error

The fastest way to improve the wiki. Send the article’s address, the statement you believe is wrong, and — this is the part that makes a correction actionable — the source that shows it: a studbook regulation, a federation rulebook, published auction results, legislation, or comparable primary material. Corrections are acknowledged, checked against the source, and when accepted, applied and noted per the editorial policy.

Proposing an article

Proposals are welcome for subjects within the wiki’s scope: the dressage horse market, breeding and studbooks, competition, training, and the veterinary and legal layer around buying and owning a dressage horse. A useful proposal states the subject, why a neutral reference article on it is needed (what do people currently get wrong or fail to find?), and the main sources an article would rest on.

Two things the wiki does not publish, so that proposals can be framed accordingly: opinion or advocacy (articles describe how things work, not how they should work) and promotion of any kind — no articles about individual businesses, no links whose purpose is commercial, no sponsored content. This applies without exception; it is what the wiki’s neutrality is worth.

Writing and review

Accepted proposals are either written by the editorial board using the proposer’s sources, or drafted by the proposer and edited to the wiki’s conventions — encyclopedic tone, facts attributed to sources, time-sensitive figures dated, terminology consistent with the glossary. Specialist contributions are reviewed like everything else: veterinary content by an equine veterinarian, sport content by professionals active in international dressage, legal and market content against primary sources.

Offering specialist review

The board particularly welcomes standing reviewers — veterinarians with purchase-examination practice, FEI-level trainers and judges, transport and customs professionals, equine lawyers. Reviewers are credited by role, not by name, in keeping with the wiki’s organisational authorship.
