Speedy deletion of "ParadiseMissouri:Example"

Hi. What were you trying to do there? --Dynaflow babble 12:58, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

I was trying to follow the guidelines in "Wikipedia: Your First Article". I took the article for Ephairim Shay and was going to alter it for a new article for Peter 'Big Pete' McCullough. Both Shay and McCullough were notable Union soldiers in the Civil War.

I thought I was in a "sandbox" where I could work with the article and then get it "moved" when I had it finalized.

So, now, my question: where can I create a temporary article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by ParadiseMissouri (talk • contribs) 13:26, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

I have created a sandbox at User:ParadiseMissouri/Sandbox and a starter page for your subject at User:ParadiseMissouri/Sandbox/Peter McCullough. If you have any questions about how to move it into article space when you're done, just leave me a message on my Talk page. Best of luck. --Dynaflow babble 13:33, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Route 66 State Park, Times Beach

Unsure about this edit, is the bridge still usable? I seem to recall it having deteriorated to the point where it could no longer be safely crossed, effectively cutting the park in two, but normally something like that would need to be cited to independent, reliable sources before being added to an article.
