Sandbox article
The template I removed from the top of your sandbox, sorta invites a review of the article from other editors. Instead, I can help you with it based upon my experience at reviewing articles. This is okay and will help get the article into live space.

I believe the sandbox is ready for publication as an article. It doesn't have to be perfect at this point and you can take your time working on it. The easiest way to do this is to have me review it and publish it under my user name since the articles I write are automatically approved.
 * The infobox is now in the sandbox article for you to populate.
 * I am just doing some minor copyediting on the sandbox but it seems very good, encyclopedic and neutral. Congratulations!

Barbara-- are you seeing this message? I hope so. I am still feeling my way around this huge community! I looked at Sandbox and you hyperlinked the Institute? In the first line? Thank you. But shouldn't the words "University of" also be in red type? And do you have any idea at all how I can find out his birthdate? My supervisor wants me to find out other than asking him. Thanks again!!!! She welcomes your assistance!!!!! : ) SharonSBlake (talk) 20:45, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

Barb are you getting this message? I built a whole new paragraph but somehow deleted most of it! It's under the section about Community Policing. It is still sitting in my sandbox, but not there when I click "Read." I've asked for guidance in chat room but volunteers are either not logged on or helping other people.
