Talk back bites
The wikipedia community seem like a nice bunch of hundreds and thousands, post a talk note or enquiry and you almost always get a helpful reply with guidance etc. Almost always, but there are rare exceptions.
- Talk:Mary Leakey#Edit request - Excavations info is shallow. I'd described a dozen good reasons why a Mary Leakey article was (on her highlighted centenary) pretty poor. Had one unhelpful (albeit humorous) reply, but my posting did inspire someone else to improve the article a great deal almost immediately. So - talk is good.
Where to put a Sandbox userbox?
Right here for now. Apparently if I put a bracketed "My sandbox|<user name>" with my name substituted as a label, ie.
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a9/Kalabrien_Ricadi_Sandwellen_2129.jpg/60px-Kalabrien_Ricadi_Sandwellen_2129.jpg) | [[User:<user name>/sandbox|My sandbox]] |
, it will enable others to view/check/comment on anything I test. Which might be a good thing, or might be a bad idea... not yet decided. But I'll put it here in readiness for potential use.
Having now created my first User sub-page, I need to access it. So:
