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)} 02:23, 18 December 2008 (UTC) reply

Science lovers wanted!

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) 01:26, 19 April 2012 (UTC) reply

Hello, Photosynthetic430. It has been over six months since you last edited your Articles for Creation draft article submission, " Jiří Soják".

In accordance with our policy that Articles for Creation is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:10, 3 May 2016 (UTC) reply

Thanks for your contributions to Marriage of the Sea ceremony (Pisa). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. ✠ SunDawn ✠ (contact) 02:11, 18 October 2023 (UTC) reply

Hello! The article is a translation of its corresponding it.wikipedia article, which is similarly under-sourced. Do I need to source it myself before it can be translated? Photosynthetic430 ❧ 17:01, 18 October 2023 (UTC) reply

First of all, thank you for creating the article. The first thing you have to do is correctly attribute the it.wikipedia contributors, please read WP:TFOLWP. You didn't need to source the it.wikipedia article, you can just source this article to get it to be moved back into mainspace. Thank you! ✠ SunDawn ✠ (contact) 01:11, 19 October 2023 (UTC) reply

I did attribute the it.wikipedia contributors, as per WP:TFOLWP -- i.e. in the first edit summary and on the talk page. What am I missing?

Also, when I say "source it myself", I mean that because the original article was un-sourced, I'd have to go through the literature it cites and extract the page numbers manually. (I don't have easy access to those books, nor is my Italian really good enough to read them in reasonable time.) That seems like a pretty stiff barrier to put up for translation, heh.

Hi there, Photosynthetic430, and thanks for adding the WiR template to your user page. I'm sorry to see you've been experiencing difficulties with Marriage of the Sea ceremony (Pisa). Unfortunately the English Wikipedia is stricter about sourcing than the Italian version. My first recommendation would be that you should find at least two other sources for the article. I see, for example, it is mentioned by Turismo Pisa, Corriere della Sera and Il Terreno. You should then add inline citations as suggested. If you need further help with this, please let me know. One of our main concerns at Women in Red is to increase the number of biographies of women. You can find guidance in our essays. I think it would be useful if you also signed up under "New registrations" on Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/New members. Please let me know if you run into further difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!-- Ipigott ( talk) 10:24, 20 October 2023 (UTC) reply

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Mary E. Endress. Thanks! Hoary ( talk) 23:50, 31 October 2023 (UTC) reply

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Theroadislong was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Mary E. Endress and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
• If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
