Non conformity
Yes I understand! I am learning fast! But I just wanted to get something up to see how page creation works - I ultimately want to put up an entry for Coelogyne's and I know there must be a strict format... when I have discovered how to add a photograph (of my own) you can delete my entry in the sand box? But just wait a little please? William William The Orchid (talk) 00:10, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedily deleted because... (your reason here) --William The Orchid (talk) 00:13, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

I'm only trying to put some words up to see how they look and how to make an entry; I already have seen what needs to be done, but please, wait until I've found out how to add a photograph (of my own) before you delete it? Then I'll try and put a conforming entry up?

This is only a sand box, after all?

Let me understand how the input is handled before you get me to conform to the Wikipedia format please!

But I'm learning fast....

William

P.S. how do I put up a photograph (of my own)? Why is there no italics capability? Anyone?

It's 0018 GMT now, I have to go to bed? Please delay your action until I can get back to this page? Otherwise I think I'll have to delete my account and disappear?

Thank you Wikipedia, but no thanks. Since you deleted (unreasonably in my view) my sandbox experimentation on completely specious reasons, I request that you allow me to 'disappear'; please delete my username off your system forthwith - or advise me how I go out it?

Help me!
Please tell me how to 'disappear' from Wikipedia so that I no longer have a user id (William The Orchid (talk) 15:54, 18 November 2017 (UTC)). I had intended to put up information about a very large national collection of orchids under my care, supervision and direction - but (if there is one within Wikipedia?) look for a standard proforma that (probably) can be used for such a project. But I thought I'd play in the sandbox to see how it treats my input. But a rather high-handed 'official' deleted my entry, unreasonably in my view. Consequently I wish to disappear (such a pity - and a big loss to a wider audience; but we'll now construct our own cataloguing system in conjunction with Kew Gardens!)....

Please help me with...

I played in the sandbox to get a measure of how input looks - but it was deleted. Now, I no longer wish to have anything to do with this organisation - hence the request for complete disappearance. How do I effect that?
