If you would like to play around with your new Wiki skills without changing the mainspace, the Sandbox is for you.

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

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Hi GrammarFascist _contribs ^talk, thank you for the welcoming words and the encouragements! I will certainly stick around.--Merelsara (talk) 08:15, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for The Ocean Cleanup

On 9 November 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The Ocean Cleanup, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that starting in 2020, The Ocean Cleanup will endeavour to rid the Great Pacific garbage patch of plastic debris? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The Ocean Cleanup. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
