Welcome!

Hello, Egraham1001, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

About revisions you can't find

Hi, Egraham1001. In this edit at Ian's Talk page, you wrote:

I published my work and for some reason the revisions were removed within seconds and I cannot recover them. They do not appear in the history or my sandbox anymore.

In order to best be able to help you, you'd have to say which article you are talking about. There was never anything in your sandbox that looked like an article or part of an article; nothing more than a standard, boxed template saying "this is your sandbox". I checked your contributions, and you have only one published edit in WP:MAINSPACE (where articles are kept); all your other edits are all in User or User talk space. That one edit is to Alcohol and cancer; is that the article you are talking about? That edit is still live, and nothing has been removed from it, and it is your only edit to that article.

If you are not talking about that edit, then what? Is it possible you started to do an edit (either to some other article, or another edit to the same one) but forgot to click the "Publish" button? The other possibility is that you may have edited while logged out. In that case, there is no way for Ian, or me, or anyone to help you without knowing the name of the article you tried to edit. When contacting Ian (or anyone at Wiki Ed), please always name the article you are interested in. Hope this helps, Mathglot (talk) 07:14, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
