User:Wikibiohistory/Sandbox

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I just discovered Wikipedia's sandboxes, and plan to use the following pages to draft or otherwise massively edit articles, and make sure they look decent before moving the contents to the designated pages.

[edit] Structure

• Sandbox 1 - Roman history articles out in Wikipedia
• Sandbox 2 - new Roman history articles created by me, with revisions
• Sandbox 3
• Sandbox 4 - British aristocratic history

[edit] Articles in sandbox

• User:Wikibiohistory/Sandbox1/Draft of Gnaeus Cornelius Scipio Calvus, consul in 222 BC, paternal uncle of Scipio Africanus.
