I understand that you are still in the middle of writing it, but it seems like an amazing article, so far. I am so excited to read it. And it is perfect and easy to understand, since it is written in kid form. Waterrockhannah (talk) 22:00, 9 July 2013 (UTC)Brainy J.Reply

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Encyclopedia Smithsonian requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
