Please note in the
SEMA4D article, there are two edit links near the top right of the page. The top edit link which is in a larger font enables you to edit the parent article and normally this is where you should make edits. The second edit link which is in a smaller font takes you to the PBB template page. Only edit this second page if you want to add or modify material in the PBB template such as gene links. I know that this can be somewhat confusing but hopefully the above clarifies things.

WikiProject Germany Invitation
Hello, ElizavetaLatash! I'd like to call your attention to the WikiProject Germany and the German-speaking Wikipedians' notice board. I hope their links, sub-projects and discussions are interesting and even helpful to you. If not, I hope that new ones will be.
Hi, ElizavetaLatash, you are graciously extended an invitation to join the
International Highways WikiProject! The Highways WikiProject is an evolving and expanding WikiProject. We are a group of editors who are dedicated to creating, revising, and expanding articles, lists, categories,
road portal and Wikiprojects, to do with anything related to International Roads. This includes supporting existing regional road WikiProjects and fostering the development of new WikiProjects.
We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying and rescuing articles that have been
tagged for deletion. Every day hundreds of articles are deleted, many rightfully so. But many concern notable subjects and are poorly written, ergo fixable and should not be deleted. We try to help these articles quickly improve and address the concerns of why they are proposed for deletion. This covers a lot of ground and your help is appreciated!
Some points that may be helpful:
Our main aim is to help improve articles, so if someone seeks help, please try to assist if you are able. Likewise feel free to ask for help, advice and clarification.
Many times we are asked to help rescue articles by people new to our
notability and
sourcing policies. If the article is not fixable we can help explain why and offer alternatives. Many of these editors are also new to Wikipedia so may see deleting "their" article as
"bitey". Encourage
civility and maybe even {{welcome}} them if they have only been templated with deletion messages.
The Articles for deletion (AfD) discussion is where the concerns regarding each article are brought up and addressed. To be an effective member of the project you need to know how AfD works as well as how to improve articles.
Introduction to deletion process gives a good overview and some
good advice for newcomers to deletion.
Our primary work is improving
articles tagged for rescue. On this template you can see a drop-down list of current articles tagged. You can install it on your own page by putting {{ARS/Tagged}}. A more dynamic list with article links and description is on
our current articles page. It is highly recommended you
watchlist it.
If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to
the list of translators available. Articles and sources that use non-English languages often need translation for those of us who cannot translate for ourselves.
