This morning I finished editing my first article and clicked publish to review. I was then directed to move the article from my sandbox to a draft. After moving the article, my sandbox redirects to the draft article, but I can no longer use my sandbox. Is there a way I can create a new sandbox to work on other articles while I am waiting for my submitted article to be reviewed.
thanks so much

When I read a page in this project from my Watchlist, the wiki software marks that page as read. Except it has just stopped doing that, and pages I have read are no longer marked as such. Where should this be reported? - Roxy, the dog. wooF 07:54, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

Hello I'd like to get some feedback on a recent Twinkle edit made to revert my edits on Squatting, here's the diff. The edit summary said “Most of these edits, if not all, are unsourced. Please provide citations if you add them again.” This seems a bit trigger happy to me. To go through the rollbacks:
I'm hoping that asking about this will help me understand a more general question I've been wondering about in the abstract concerning blue links. For my feeling Squatting is acting a as a sort of holder page and so i can put information there about people and projects without referencing everything since the bluelink leads back to the page where the reference is. I've been wondering about this more generally lately but haven't really found an answer through searching or reading the Manual of Style.
It is true that for leads in articles references aren't always needed (see recent featured articles Georgetown Car Barn and Referendum Party), so can the various country entries in Squatting be considered as leads?
So I guess after asking for feedback, my question is then must every sentence be referenced, or if the sentence contains a blue link leading back to a referenced article, is that ok? Mujinga ( talk) 11:34, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

Is it possible to use a location map, complete with pogs etc, inside the infobox switcher template? Any advice will, as ever, be much appreciated. cheers, —— SerialNumber 54129 16:44, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
Is there a guideline for the number of portals added to an article as there is for links ( WP:LINKFARM)? The article Reformation has 10 portals. Recently, an editor removed 5 portals from the article Puritans with the edit summary, "no article has ever stood to gain anything with silly portal links, especially this many". WP:PORTAL and WP:PORTG don't say anything about portal farms. - thanks - Epinoia ( talk) 16:52, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
I am attempting to author an article about the O. J. Plummer motorcycle which was claimed to have been built in 1989. I believe that I have opened an account (M. H. Bayer) in which to create the article. How do I proceed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by M h bayer ( talk • contribs) 18:50, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
Under my Wikipedia listing -- Frank P. Tomasulo -- there are two book references.
1. One is complete, although the book title is not in italics. 2. The other Reference is incomplete, because it does not include the name of the publisher, Lambert Academic Publishing.
I tried to make these minor corrections/additions but when I clicked the EDIT button, only the word <<REFERENCES>> appeared.
How can I (or someone else) make these simple changes? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ftomasulo ( talk • contribs) 20:23, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
