Wikipedia talk:Canada Education Program/Courses/Present/Knowledge and Information in Society (Andrew Clement and Siobhan Stevenson)

Welcome to the (public) talk page
This is a public place where you can ask questions, talk about problems, and discuss Wikipedia with classmates and other Wikipedians.-- Note that there is a course-only forum, the Answer garden, where internal discussions can be held. AndrewClement (talk) 19:44, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Personal sandbox
A reminder from one of our colleagues, Prof. Jonathan Obar:

A sandbox is a place for you to "play around", edit your own work, figure out how to work with the wiki-form, etc. Sandboxes are extensions of user profile pages and look exactly like articles. They just aren't a part of the "mainspace" and thus won't be under the watchful eye of the community.

To create a sandbox, add this text to the edit box on your profile page, enclosed in two sets of square brackets :

/sandbox|My Sandbox
