This is my sandbox. Here I will test out things. Some of what I'm making here will be works in making.

Please no vandalism. On the other hand, if you see something that I goofed on, feel free to help me with it.

[edit] Wikicards

images and formatting coming soon

On May 2006, I contracted carpal tunnel syndrome and I was out of typing for three months. I'm still cleaning up from the Central NY downpour/flood, and I an learning how to type (dvorak this time) all over again.

Although some Wikipedians have remembered me, others treated me as if I disappeared. This moves me to share these Wikicards with the community. Give them to fellow editors who have fallen on bad times.

to an editor who left because of stress "Thank you for editing at Wikipedia. Your contributions will not be forgotten."

to an editor who has been sick "Feel better soon. You are greatly missed."

to a new editor who is stressed from learning about Wikipedia "Keep on trying. You can do it."

to a helpful editor "Thank you for your help."

to a kind editor "Thank you for your kind words."
