Speedy deletion nomination of Multi-cellular Banana Microscopy

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing inappropriate pages, such as Multi-cellular Banana Microscopy, is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I have been a Wikipedian for a while now, and have noticed on people's talk pages signs saying that that person is part of a Wikipedia support group/police. I am curious about this and would like to find out more. Any Information would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards,TheHecster (talk) 18:45, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! You are probably seeing wikiproject userboxes. Wikiprojects are groups of editors that get together to work on some specific part of the encyclopedia. Some are by subject (math, physics, history) others by type or status of article (AfC drafts, templates, copy-edit). You can find a full listing at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. Most wikiprojects also post banners at the top of articles within their scope, so you can find a wikiproject that way. Many of them also advertise on the community portal. Each wikiproject has rules for joining on their page. Hope that helps! Happy Squirrel (talk) 19:28, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

April 2016

Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia and the articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to Harry Potter (character). Readers looking for accurate information will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, please use the sandbox instead, where you are given a certain degree of freedom in what you write. Mezigue (talk) 20:21, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
