Wikipedia sandboxes are not places to play out imaginary military conflicts. Drmies (talk) 20:16, 11 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I was just practicing editing some infobozes. If it's that much of a problem, I'll take them down. But I thought no one could see it. Why is it that much of a problem? Superman-Clark Kent (talk) 20:30, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Comment/Question - I don't see this a violation of any policies. It's just a sandbox in userspace. It's not made to look like an article, it's just a bunch of infoboxes. But, as usual, maybe I'm in the wrong. Is there a certain policy that says this can't stay up? – TC N7  JM  20:41, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * WP:NOTWEBHOST is the applicable policy here, as far as I'm concerned. I didn't see so much experimenting with infoboxes as imaginary wars in 2031 or whatever it was, but if you tell me that this is not some game (like some people play Fantasy Survivor in their sandboxes) and you put Template:Sandbox notice on top, then I'll be happy to withdraw this. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 22:21, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks. I'm learning something new everyday on this site. I now !vote delete . – T C  N7 JM  23:17, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, Superman is allowed to mess around some (i.e., practice). I thought it was an abuse, but if he's really just messing with infoboxes then it's fine. Drmies (talk) 23:38, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm calling this borderline. At the very least he should be warned. If he fails to comply, which I don't see as a possibility seeing as he didn't know what he was doing, it should be blanked/deleted. I have struck my delete for now. – T C  N7 JM  23:43, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

I just deleted everything, so it's fine. I won't do it again. Superman-Clark Kent (talk) 23:46, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Left a note on Superman's talk page. We can close this. Drmies (talk) 23:55, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose. I don't see anything on WP:Userpages that would prohibit the use of the Sandbox for creating an infobox for Abraham Lincoln if he had not been assassinated. While it may be appropriate to add something to the page to make it clear that it is not a WP:FAKEARTICLE.Naraht (talk) 10:54, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Moot point. The page is now blank. – T C  N7 JM  10:57, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
 * This is part of a larger issue, I *know* this occurs considerably more than this page, so I'd like to discuss further. If not here, where? (I don't think an example in my own area is the way to go to get this further discussed (don't disrupt to make a point).Naraht (talk) 13:22, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm disrupting to make a point? If anyone's doing that, it's you. You oppose the deletion of an already blank page and call me the one disrupting to make a point when I tell you the page is blank? – T C  N7 JM  01:00, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Or are you saying that by trying to discuss this in your own area would be disrupting to make a point? I honestly couldn't tell. – T C  N7 JM  01:05, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm saying that I'd rather continue to discuss it here than for to create such an infobox in my own area in order to get another MFD (which I think is your second comment)...Naraht (talk) 01:39, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay. Sorry about that. I'm trying to get better with interpretation, but I still seem to screw up a bit. Anyway, you're right. I didn't think there was anything here that actually violated a policy, but he blanked it anyway. – T C  N7 JM  01:47, 14 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Strong keep This is exactly what user space is for, exactly why it exists, that is, practicing using the interface. I consider this an abusive nomination. Ego White Tray (talk) 03:12, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
 * That last comment is way off base, EWT. Drmies thought there was a violation, so he nominated it, but we already decided it was fine despite Superman's blanking the page. We're just waiting for a close. – T C  N7 JM  03:22, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
