Hello, I'm
Premeditated Chaos. I noticed that you recently removed content from
Daniel Ménard without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate
edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your
sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. Thanks. ♠

Please do not remove information from an article without a good reason. If you want to work on a version of it, then you can use your /sandbox. ... discospinster talk 20:54, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
I have submitted my article for revision, so how do I save the article and clear my sandbox?
Am I simply unable to use it until I decide to paste it onto a Wikipedia page?

Everyone can view anything you post on Wikipedia. Nothing is hidden or private (unless it gets deleted, but even administrators like me can see deleted content). It's considered a bit rude to edit someone else's userspace without asking though, so userspace things like sandboxes generally get left alone by others barring extenuating circumstances. (Userspace is anything that exists with "User:" before the pagename, and your userspace is anything that starts with "User:Louister41/".)
It looks like the version you had in your sandbox was moved to draftspace when you accidentally submitted it for approval (ie it's now located at Draft:Daniel Menard Stuff instead of at User:Louister41/sandbox). Because your sandbox was moved, it is now a redirect to the draft page it was moved to. (Incidentally, this is why the bot keeps removing your sandbox template - because the content is no longer in userspace). Do you want me to put the draft back into your sandbox?
Yes, if you reverted to a previous version after the AfC decline template was placed, it would have removed the template, because you reverted the page to a state before the template was placed.
Finally, if you mean the white box that pops up in the corner when you use visual editor to edit the draft, that's just a helpful link to various databases and search functions that can help you find sources if you need them, since this is something a lot of new editors need help with. It's not saying you did anything wrong. ♠ PMC♠ (talk) 02:04, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Daniel Menard Stuff. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Daniel Ménard. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Daniel Ménard. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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 deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Johnj1995 ( talk) 03:50, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
For some reason my sandbox was deleted, and when I press the option to create a new one, it says that it's invalid. Louister41 ( talk) 18:52, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
I can’t do anything, a pop-up saying “invalid” appears before I can do anything, much less press the “create page” button. Louister41 ( talk) 20:17, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
It works now, thanks!
I really don’t know what was happening, I hope I wasn’t blacklisted for what must appear to be ignoring an admin’s instructions and posting the article anyway. Maybe I should clear my name, but I feel like trying to reach the admin must be a Kafkaesque effort. :) Louister41 ( talk) 20:25, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
Yeah, should I delete it, I don’t want to be part of the bad boys/girls club of Wikipedia. Anyway I don’t think I was unfair… but don’t worry I understand the guidelines. :/ Louister41 ( talk) 20:35, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for telling me… now about the edits, should I just leave the info on the talk page so other editors can pick it up and add it, or should I just plain old delete the thing/undo my edits. Louister41 ( talk) 20:36, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
No I really get it, I know about paraphrasing, but sometimes you simply can’t think of a more concise way to express the information. I understand that I should sacrifice conciseness for originality.
I’m here to learn :) so don’t worry, also I’m the one who is making you scoop up all my mess, so really I should apologizing :D Louister41 ( talk) 21:48, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
Anyway I am going to work so I can’t respond for a while but I will be back (terminator voice) Louister41 ( talk) 21:48, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
So… is the article really bad, or simply amateurish. Louister41 ( talk) 02:14, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi! I just wanted to ask if you have some go to websites that serve as starters when learning about a topic.
I have
- Semantic Scholar
- NCBI
- Plants of the World Online (Kew Science)
- Global Plants (JSTOR)
- CIA World Factbook
- Encyclopedia of Life
- eHRAF World Cultures
- Jewish Encyclopedia (.com)
for starters, but I would like to have more sites like this, (if you have some).
Also.. how was your day? I don't know the conditions out west, but it's still winter, it's still Canada, and the adults are going back to their jobs.
