Merelsara

Hello, Merelsara, and Welcome to Wikipedia!

Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you enjoy the encyclopedia and want to stay. As a first step, you may wish to read the Introduction.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me at my talk page – I'm happy to help. Or, you can ask your question at the New contributors' help page.

Here are some more resources to help you as you explore and contribute to the world's largest encyclopedia...

Finding your way around:

• Table of contents / Department directory

• The Wikipedia Adventure (a tutorial orienting you with Wikipedia)

Need help?

• Questions – a guide on where to ask questions
• Cheatsheet – quick reference on Wikipedia's mark-up codes
• Wikipedia's 5 pillars – an overview of Wikipedia's foundations

• Article wizard – a Wizard to help you create articles

How you can help:

Additional tips...

• Please sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically insert your "signature" (your username and a date stamp). The or button, on the tool bar above Wikipedia's text editing window, also does this.
• If you would like to play around with your new Wiki skills without changing the mainspace, the Sandbox is for you.

Merelsara, good luck, and have fun. – GrammarFascist _contribs^talk 13:27, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Sam Sailor, thanks for the review and the quick turnaround! --Merelsara (talk) 08:15, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

You're very welcome, Meralsara, great article. I had been thinking of writing it myself when I updated INDEX: Design to Improve Life with the 2015 results. If you are looking for something to do, Sky Greens with their "Sky Urban Vertical Farming System" is likely an easy candidate for a stub at least. If you need anything, come and leave me a message on my talk page, or just ping me as you did. Sam Sailor ^Talk! 08:24, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

A little, but not unimportant thing: Write something, anything on your user page so it is no longer redlinked. :-) Sam Sailor ^Talk! 08:26, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Congratulations on your first article!

The Ocean Cleanup looks great for a brand-new article. You should consider nominating it for Wikipedia's Did You Know (DYK) program, which features quality new content on Wikipedia's main page. Whether you do or not, I look forward to seeing what your next contribution to Wikipedia will be! Thanks for improving Wikipedia. —GrammarFascist _contribs^talk 00:00, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
