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! Aelwyn 16:26, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody has welcomed you! Thanks for joining ProjectPlants! I hope you will be that kind to release some of your very beautiful pictures to be used in Wikipedia! Remember, be BOLD! Aelwyn 16:26, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I use a widescreen high-definition monitor, and the picture you inserted in Danaea kalevala managed to overflow even that. I had to delete it. When you upload pictures, make sure their size is adequate. Thank you. --Blanchardb-Me^MyEars_MyMouth-timed 14:54, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Notability of Lenny Pearl

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Lenny Pearl, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Lenny Pearl seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Lenny Pearl, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Bambusa vulgaris

I took the article on Bambusa vulgaris to a peer review here. Would you take a look and advice on improvement? Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 13:00, 28 January 2012 (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) 01:12, 18 April 2012 (UTC)|}[reply]
