Log of what I need to do next

 * 1) Study the Tips before going much further
 * 2) Create Subpages identical in both User and User: Talk: CAPPCanada, FRB, ?
 * 3) Confirm that if anyone edits my User: Talk page I get an email alert.
 * 4) Cut and paste code from list of User boxes into Edit mode here.............as I did for Canadian..............delete other imported User boxes
 * 5) create subpages
 * 6) You are cautioned to think carefully before adding non-public information to your user page because you are unlikely to be able to retract it later, even if you change your mind.

User pages are pages
for organizing the work users do on Wikipedia, as well as speaking to other users. User pages are mainly for interpersonal discussion, notices, testing and drafts (see: Sandboxes), and, if desired, limited autobiographical and personal content. Pages in the User and User and User talk namespaces are considered to be user pages.

User pages are available to Wikipedia users personally for purposes compatible with the Wikipedia project and acceptable to the community; Wikipedia is not a blog, webspace provider, or social networking site. Wikipedia policies concerning the content of pages can and generally do apply to user pages, and users must observe these policies. Users believed to be in violation of these policies should first be advised on their talk page using  when immediate action is not otherwise necessary.

By default Wikipedia's search engine is restricted to the Article namespace. Typing the project page prefix  (User followed by a colon) will provide search results for the "User namespace".

My Subpages and other Wikipedia pages with my User as a prefix

There is, of course, an easier method, but it has to be done manually. Copy and modify the following text and put it on your User page: Special:Prefixindex/User:Your_Wikipedia_Name After saving your User page, clicking on this link will provide you with a list of all pages, containing the string "User:Your_Wikipedia_Name", which in our test case includes the sandbox, the User page and, of course, the newly created subpage.

Creating a subpage..............only possible one under ICTMontreal and one under my Talk
Video tutorial on creating a user page sandbox You can create subpages of your User page and your Talk page. To create a subpage write the following text into any editable text area: User:Your_Wikipedia_Name/subpage then copy and paste this text into the Wikipedia search box and press ENTER. This will bring you to a page with the title User:Your_Wikipedia_Name/subpage. Now click the CREATE-button next to the Wikipedia search box and your new subpage will be created for you.

To navigate to my subpage put this link somewhere

Go to first subpage of my User

If you would like to draft a new article, Help:Userspace draft provides a standard template and useful guidance to help you create a draft in your userspace, and the article wizard can walk you through all stages of creating an article with the option to save as a userspace draft too. You can use the template to tag a userspace draft if it is not automatically done for you.

In general, if you have material that you do not wish others to edit, or that is otherwise inappropriate for Wikipedia, it should be placed on a personal web site.Traditionally, Wikipedia offers wide latitude to users to manage their user space as they see fit. However, pages in user space belong to the wider community. They are not a personal homepage, and do not belong to the user. They are part of Wikipedia, and exist to make collaboration among editors easier.

FRB=If you are editing for or on behalf of a company, organization, group, product, or person (etc.) which you wish to be open about in order to gain a good working relationship with the editing community.
