Vitis Vulpina L
Hi. Thanks for the feedback on my Talk page - I've left you a Welcome message above, containing links to lots of useful stuff for new editors.

I hope you don't mind a couple of suggestions regarding creating new articles, like your Vitis Vulpina L one. As soon as you create an article in the main encyclopedia space, it will be available for all to see and use as if it were a completed article, so leaving large parts of other articles (like the dandelion information) to use as a template for further development is very likely to confuse people - and for that reason, other editors are likely to quickly remove it.

Using another article as a template is a very good idea, but the best way to do it is probably to create it in your own user space first, eg by creating the page User:Klburns/Vitis Vulpina L. You can then start with a copy of the article you want to use as a template and take as much time as you want creating the new article, and then only move it to the main article when you have it closer to completion. (As an example, I have a number of articles under construction in my user space, eg User:Boing! said Zebedee/Sandbox/Ephebopus murinus).

Anyway, welcome again, and if I can help you in any way, please feel free to drop me a line on my Talk page.

 * I've made significant fixes to this article, and moved it to the correct title. Please look at what those differences are, so that you don't make the same mistakes again. Thanks for the new article! - UtherSRG (talk) 04:25, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
