User:Sparkette/Sandbox/explanation

There's actually somewhat of a funny story behind the current contents of this page. Back in 2005, when I was new to Wikipedia and unfamiliar with the various policies and procedures (even now I only really know the essentials) I saw fit to, for one reason or another, create an "alternate" sandbox in the global Wikipedia namespace (as opposed to my own userspace where it now rests). I was only 12 at the time, so hopefully this will explain my reactions. Perhaps it will also explain some of my first edits (with descriptions that read like quotes from Ned Flanders) that I think are worth mentioning for purpose of irony, as I would never even think about making such edits today, even if they were acceptable on a site like Wikipedia.
