Underneath the comment you're responding to, type a colon. Each : will indent your response deeper into the conversation. So if you respond to a response, use two colons, etc.

t is crucial that you sign your messages with four tildes to automatically mark it with your username and a timestamp.

Create another page off of your Wikipedia user page by editing the URL after your username with the name of a new page you want to create.

For example, to create a new page titled “New sandbox”, first click on your username in the upper right when you're logged into en.wikipedia.org. Now edit the end of the URL to look like this: Click Create source in the upper right to make the new page.

If you forget the URL of this new page, don't worry! You can always check your Contributions history, found at the top right when you're logged in, to find it. When you're ready to make edits:


 * 1) Open your group's chosen article in Edit mode. (References and other templates will break if you copy from Read mode.)
 * 2) Select the portion you want to work on — a few paragraphs at most — and copy it.
 * 3) Open the sandbox your group has decided to work in, and open the Edit mode. Now paste the copied article content.
 * 4) Add an edit summary that says copied from   with the name of the original article, then save it by clicking Publish changes.
 * 5) Re-enter Edit mode in the sandbox, make your changes, and publish them.

Here's how to move drafted content:


 * 1) Open the sandbox where your group has been drafting in Edit mode. (References and other templates will break if you copy from Read mode.)
 * 2) Select the portion you want to move into the live article.
 * 3) Open the original article in Edit mode and add your content into the article.
 * 4) Add an edit summary that says it copied from your group's sandbox, and click 'Publish changes'. (Include a link to that sandbox, like , in the edit summary.)
 * 5) Repeat this process for any other parts of the article you worked on.
 * 6) Make sure that the lead section reflects the new content you've added. And copy-edit the article to ensure your additions mesh well with the preexisting content.

= Moving a new article out of the sandbox = With a good title in mind, you're ready to move the article live.


 * 1) Search Wikipedia via the search bar to make sure there's not already an article about your topic. (It's possible, though uncommon, for someone else to have created an article with the same name while you were drafting yours.) If there is an existing article, follow the steps in the earlier slides to merge your content.
 * 2) Go to the sandbox where your group has been drafting. (Can't remember where it is? Check your Contributions history in the upper right when you're logged in.)
 * 3) Review your article one more time, following the checklist found on page 15 of the Editing Wikipedia brochure.
 * 4) On your new article's sandbox page, click the "More" tab at the top right, next to the search bar. Select "Move" to start the moving process.

= Move your page = The new page will say “Move page.” In a big window in the center of that page (marked “Move page”) you'll be asked for two fields.


 * 1) First, to the left, you'll see a box that says “User.” Click and change it to “(Article)” This field is the “namespace”. Be sure that it says “(Article)” and not “Wikipedia”.
 * 2) To the right of that, you'll see a box asking for a title. Write out your article's title. Pay attention to punctuation and spelling, because this can be hard to change once you make it!
 * 3) In the “reason” dropdown menu, choose the option, "Publish page to mainspace."
 * 4) Review your title one last time, and then click on the gray “Move page” button.

Paragraph: Set the style of your text. For example, make a header or plain paragraph text. You can also use it to offset block quotes.
A : Highlight your text, then click here to format it with bold, italics, etc. The “More” options allows you to underline (U), cross-out text ( S ),  ( { } ), change language keyboards (Aあ), and

Links: Highlight text and push this button to make it a link. The Visual Editor will automatically suggest related Wikipedia articles for that word or phrase. This is a great way to connect your article to more Wikipedia content. You only have to link important words once, usually during the first time they appear. If you want to link to pages outside of Wikipedia (for an “external links” section, for example) click on the “External link” tab.

Cite: The citation tool in the Visual Editor helps format your citations. You can simply paste a DOI or URL, and the Visual Editor will try to sort out all of the fields you need. Be sure to review it, however, and apply missing fields manually (if you know them). You can also add books, journals, news, and websites manually. That opens up a quick guide for inputting your citations. Once you've added a source, you can click the “re-use” tab to cite it again.
