Sandboxes

thank you! 12.0.52.196 (talk) 17:13, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! please can you tell me, How do I find Sandbox drafts that I am working on? thank you. Marcellepedia (talk) 15:11, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! If you go into your contributions (which you can find next to your user name in the history of any article you've edited), you will see every edit you have made. You need to make sure you are signed in to your acccount when you edit, though, because a) you are otherwise busting the rules (editing while logged out) and b) if not, your contributions will be logged as an IP user. If you log in you can search for the sandbox under the title you used, for example: "User:Marcellepedia/sandbox/draft name".

If you are replying to (or in any way contacting another editor) you need to let them know by pinging them. (Begin your comment with the editor's name, for example: [[User:Marcellepedia|Marcellepedia]] or [[ping|Marcellepedia]]) . Also! Create headings for new topics on your talk page (or any talk page). (I have not had enough coffee yet, hope this makes sense.) JSFarman (talk) 16:22, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

thank you for this! Marcellepedia (talk) 18:44, 12 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

MOS:LQ

Hello, just dropping by to let you know that Wikipedia uses the logical quotation style in all articles, no matter what style of English the article uses. That means punctuation goes outside quotation marks in most cases. Please read the linked guideline, and you may consider self-reverting the edits you've been making. Thank you. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 13:00, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I was noticing the inconsistency on articles where sometimes both ways of using periods and commas inside/ outside quotation marks ("Hello." "Hello".) were utilized in the same article and that's what prompted me to do some sweeping. I see now that I was too eager. Thank you for the link as well. I'll study. Marcellepedia (talk) 13:15, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That's an easy mistake to make, and I certainly made similar ones before becoming more familiar with the MOS (and I'm sure I'll make more in the future). Thanks for being open to the constructive criticism, and happy editing! DrOrinScrivello (talk) 13:17, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank YOU. I will start the self-reverting today once I get going. A good exercise for me. Marcellepedia (talk) 13:35, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@DrOrinScrivello argh, i'm undoing my errors, and i may have undone your undo on Larry David. i corrected it. now moving on to the next one, but S-L-O-W-L-Y and more carefully. Insert faceplant emoji. Marcellepedia (talk) 16:54, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, Marcellepedia, I appreciate you taking the time to make the fixes. With that said, it looks like the same thing happened at Isaac Asimov – you had already been reverted by Richard75, so your revert put the mistake back in (I've since fixed it). It's probably a good idea to check each article's history to make sure your edits haven't already been fixed before reverting. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 17:55, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your patience. And your guidance. I am adding some notes to my user page as reference to help me as well. This will take a few days (shaking her head) but I will do the undo's and remind myself not to rush and make the same mistake. Marcellepedia (talk) 18:30, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
