A Sandbox and all!

Looks like you have figured it out. Long-term, it is easiest to work on your sandbox page just like it was a live article. Then you can move the page into the main space while keeping the history of your edits in tact. You can look at the history tab of Jose C. Muñoz to see one that I just did in that way. I find it to be the easiest way to work, but really anything in your userspace is whatever you want to do with it. Good luck, and I have you on my watchlist so I will be around to help out!

I changed your reference around a bit. Citation templates take a bit of learning, but make things pretty easy. I also moved it because that link would be a verification of the asset size, so it should be just after the fact that it is there to back up. The automated references list at the bottom is something you will find in almost every article that just does the formatting for you. Jim Miller ^{See me | Touch me} 16:38, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi Donna! Great start! I did a quick google, and found this as potentially a great reference to start with: Helping others plan their future This is how I'd write the first paragraph:

Firstmark Credit Union (formerly San Antonio Teachers Credit Union) is a federally insured, state-chartered, member-owned, not-for-profit financial cooperative. The credit union was founded in 1932, and changed its name to Firstmark Credit Union in 2002. Today, Firstmark Credit Union has nine branches and is San Antonio, Texas’s fourth largest Credit Union serving 92,000 members and managing assets of more than $698 million.

Logo

There is no problem having the logo back again if the article is moved back out of your sandbox to the main article space such as to Firstmark Credit Union. The fair use policy says no fair use images in user's space. You can talk to me to get it back again, or you can load it up yourself again. Other administrators could also be willing to restore the image for you! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:01, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Hello, your sandbox looks good enough to become an article. There are a few stylistic thigs to fix, but the writing and references llok good enough to survive. I will restore the image, but please move the article soon! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:06, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
