Hi. I don't really understand very well how making columns works, and I have been trying out different templates on my user page. But for some reason the "Babel" template gets pushed off to the right of the other templates unless I put a pile of line breaks before it. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

- Nothing. The babel template is just fussy and doesn't work with the other infoboxen for some reason. Also, please put new talk page posts at the bottom, not the top. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ( Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 23:15, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
Welcome to WikiProject Plants!
Hi, and welcome to WikiProject Plants! Our scope includes any and all taxa of plants, botanists, and botany topics. We're glad to have you working with us on our project!
A few features that you might find helpful:
- Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
- We discuss our project frequently at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Plants. You can watchlist it to keep up with the conversations.
Here are some easy ways you can contribute:
- Images: There are articles that need images. You can search Wikimedia Commons for images. When you find one, add it to the Wikipedia article in the taxobox and remove the "needs-photo=yes" parameter from the project banner on the talk page of the article. You could also help identify plant photos on Commons.
- Taxobox: We also have articles that need taxoboxes. See the taxobox usage guide for information on how to add a taxobox. When complete, don't forget to remove the "needs-taxobox=yes" parameter from the talk page banner.
- Stubs: Consider expanding one of our stubs or create one of our requested articles.
- Assessment: You could also help assess our unassessed articles.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page or the project at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Plants. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Rkitko ( talk) 02:27, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi! I'm serving as the wikipedian-in-residence at the Smithsonian Institution Archives until June! One of my goals as resident, is to work with Wikipedians and staff to improve content on Wikipedia about people who have collections held in the Archives - most of these are scientists who held roles within the Smithsonian and/or federal government. I thought you might like to participate since you are interested in the sciences! Sign up to participate here and dive into articles needing expansion and creation on our to-do list. Feel free to make a request for images or materials at the request page, and of course, if you share your successes at the outcomes page you will receive the SIA barnstar! Thanks for your interest, and I look forward to your participation! Sarah ( talk) 01:25, 19 April 2012 (UTC) |
