Hello, I'm DMacks. I noticed that you recently made an edit that seemed to be a test. Your test worked! If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks, DMacks (talk) 07:49, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Template:Infobox farnsium

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing inappropriate pages, such as Template:Infobox farnsium, is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. DMacks (talk) 07:53, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

In response to your question on the now-deleted talk-page of that article, I am indeed a real person, and was alerted to your edits when they popped up on a list of recent changes that met certain criteria for being possibly factually incorrect. DMacks (talk) 08:26, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

To answer your question

A team of human New Page Patrollers checks all new pages within seconds of them being created and we have filters checking content. So there's really no point, is there? See:Professor Farnsworth. Now if you have something genuine to contribute, you're welcome to do so, but another trick like that will cost your your editing licence ;) Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:34, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Noted. I honestly don't do this kind of stuff, but after recently memorizing the elements and seeing the newest episode of Futurama which featured a picture of element 117 named 'Farnsium' I had to check to see if any of the fans had hit the Ununseptium page (like often happens when XKCD does just about anything) and was surprised that no one had done anything yet and I couldn't resist. Sorry for the trouble and taking up your time, and it's nice to know just how fast and effectively Wikipedia is able to respond to something like this. I assure you that I won't do this again.

You're welcome. Now that you know how to edit the Wikipedia, if you would like to add some real content, let me know and we'll see how to get you started in subjects you are familiar with. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:48, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
