User talk:Crashlight

Help me--my article is gone.
Please help me with...I am a brand new user. I "saved" a page I was working on multiple times this afternoon, and now when I logged out and came back to my profile, it seems to have disappeared :( Am I missing something? I can't seem to find a draft of it anywhere on my profile page. Thanks!

 * It doesn't look like you saved it. I don't see where you've saved anything with this account, other than this talk page request. I also checked; you haven't created anything that was subsequently deleted. —C.Fred (talk) 23:58, 15 October 2016 (UTC)

Publishing from sandbox?
Hello, my article is completed in my sandbox using visual editor, I don't know how to publish it. I've tried copy/pasting but it always looks completely different in the other (coded) form...Any help would be appreciated!

 * I'm trying to access your sandbox but it seems empty (and also, the general sandbox is empty too) Have you saved the content yet? Can you switch from the Visual Editor to the regular one and see your content in the coded form? —Hexafluoride Ping me if you need help, or post on my talk 22:40, 23 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Pages should not be copy-pasted because doing so breaks the page history. Instead, Wikipedia has a "page move" feature that moves the history (and thus the attribution required by our license) along with the page itself. In this particular case I have moved the draft to Draft:Freedom of the press in East Timor and added a messagebox to the top that you can use to submit the draft for a review by an experienced editor.
