User talk:Ellipse Editions

Welcome Ellipse Editions! Now that you've joined Wikipedia, there are registered editors!

Hello, Ellipse Editions. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions! I'm W.carter, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge. Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type  here on your talk page, and someone will try to help. Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes   at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp. The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun! To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Mypage/sandbox&action=edit&preload=Template:User_Sandbox/preload create your own private sandbox] for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put  on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

My first article is ready in my Sandbox. How do I move it from there into Wikipedia?
I have written my first article, in my Sandbox,and I think it's now ready to be published on Wikipedia. What do I do next? I can't see any button or instructions on my Sandbox page for uploading it, or sending it to the next stage towards publication.

What do I do?

'''Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below) and continue editing.'''A username should not be promotional, appear to represent a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
