It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

American Indian Wars

Just a note to let you know that your first edit to :American Indian Wars was reverted because you changed the name of the image file :File:Apache chieff Geronimo (right) and his warriors in 1886.jpg, breaking the link to the file and causing the image to not display. Please remember, do not try to "correct" linked items (i.e., enclosed in ... ) until you have verified what the correct spelling, capitalization, and punctuation is for the file or article name. Thank for your editing of Wikipedia. - Donald Albury 23:15, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

Misplaced !vote?

By posting your "Oppose. I don't agree with calling the capitol incident a coup at all." comment in the

:Template talk:Coup d'état#Categorizing the 2021 USA coup as a self-coup?

section instead of the

:Template talk:Coup d'état#RFC: Should the events of January 2021 be considered an "attempted coup" in the United States?

section, your !vote won't be counted. You may wish to copy it over to the RfC. --Guy Macon (talk) 07:02, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

  • Alright, thanks for informing me. I moved my comment from "Categorizing the 2021 USA coup as a self-coup?" to "Should the events of January 2021 be considered an "attempted coup" in the United States?"

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice that :Template:Proposed deletion: Please just delete this draft. I really do not care for waiting nearly an entire month in limbo, only to receive a rejection notice with very low tier comments sniping about the writing quality., a page that you created, has been tagged for deletion. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

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 "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 deleted 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=Template%3AProposed+deletion%3A+Please+just+delete+this+draft.+I+really+do+not+care+for+waiting+nearly+an+entire+month+in+limbo%2C+only+to+receive+a+rejection+notice+with+very+low+tier+comments+sniping+about+the+writing+quality.|deleting administrator}}, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

:There is a biography on Piest's life (https://www.amazon.com/Postmortem-What-Survives-Wayne-Murders-ebook/dp/B0CZGP2XF5/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.tTdczYDgv60PIQgaA8cGiQ.hzBU6nUqgDe2jXgIGXfsxYvroLNfi2p0U7Qhyxue2FM&qid=1713387452&sr=1-1) stated to be released on December 24 of this current year. It is written by the daughter of the co worker, whose placing of the photo receipt in Piest's pocket was essential in building a case against Gacy. When that book is released, I'll probably try to use it as a source to construct the "murder of Robert Piest" and stand it out from Gacy's article.

:That of course is going to be about 6 months after the current draft is deleted, so would it be too late to request a retrieval of "deleted material for future reference" from it? Randomuser335S (talk) 22:40, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

{{ivmbox | image = Commons-emblem-notice.svg |imagesize=50px | bg = #E5F8FF | text = You have recently edited a page related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{tl|Ctopics/aware}} template.
