Can you please help me with installing GNOME 3.16 on Ubuntu 15.04?

I added https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/ubuntu/gnome3
to the repositories and installed "gnome", but I still have GNOME 3.14.

you need to add the https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/ubuntu/gnome3-staging ppa. It's the one with gnome 3.16

To get GNOME 3.16 you have to add gnome3-staging PPA.
Instruction for installation -> Open a terminal and execute: 

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop

Choose gdm when asked.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo service gdm restart

Select GNOME from login screen.

If you get notified to perform a restart, you can do that.
Some say it is recommended, it's not necessary anyway.
