Question re access to Draft

edit

After I log in, how do I easily access the submission I am working on (which page and which button?)Geolog10 (talk) 18:40, 22 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

One way is to click the link at the top right which says 'Contributions'. It will show you a list of all the pages you have edited. Regards, Ariconte (talk) 20:17, 22 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

‎Need to see some current biographies (preferably scientists)

edit

I'm not the person to help you on this, so I hope you asked several people.

I know absolutely nothing about how Wikipedia biographies of scientists are done.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 17:28, 24 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Which version of my submission am I supposed to edit?

edit

Which version of all my drafts is the current one for me to continue editing? I've been adding minor formatting revisions, but now I'm not sure I am adding them to the current version. When I opened the last date, I got a message that says it is an old version. I can try them all until I don't get the message, but I'm sure there is some more efficient process.Geolog10 (talk) 20:14, 24 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

I don't see a problem. You should be able to access Draft:Florence Connolly Shipek by clicking on that link. The only way I can see you editing an old version is if you went to the history, accessed from "View history" or "history" at the top of the page. Some editors and bots have added categories and other essential items, and you wouldn't want to remove those by working on an old version. To be absolutely certain, go to the history and click on the last version. Clearing your cache is another solution but I don't remember how that's done.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 20:49, 24 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

I think I messed something up in my new potential submission (Makeda Cheatom)--I can't get her name to show up at the top (in my Sandbox). As I was trying to drop the manuscript into the box, I deleted the programming at the top of the Sandbox. Could you add the programming back in, or should I go onto a new submission and copy the programming at the top? Geolog10Geolog10 (talk) 17:17, 27 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm I dream of horses. An edit you recently made to Saticoy, California seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so.
