Participating in the development of the Wild Rice article edit

I came across this page while doing some research a few years ago. At that time, I found that this article was a great start on a meaningful topic, but could use some expansion and clarification in some areas. Since then, I have checked the page to see any developments or additions, and currently find myself with some time this spring to devote to participating in the project.

I see some questions raised in earlier discussion that I can clarify; in addition, I am interested in including a detailed life history and ecology of Zizania palustris and Zizania aquatica. This will be my first foray into editing an article and participating in Wikipedia, so please make sure to appraise me of any gaffs, or violations of etiquette I may unwillingly commit. Meanwhile, I will be monitoring the article discussion pages as I draft some edits, and will post them over the next month.

Speedy deletion of Image:Z palustris in seed.jpg edit

 

A tag has been placed on Image:Z palustris in seed.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:Z palustris in seed.jpg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Sdrtirs (talk) 21:39, 22 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
