Your question on the new contributors' help page

Thank you for your question. Because the subject of your proposed article is your friend, you have a bit of a conflict of interest. So I suggest that you create the article first in a sandbox sub-page of your user page. I have created one for you at User:Coolnrg/Sandbox. You can experiment and create the article there without the fear that it will be deleted. When you think it is ready to be moved to the mainspace, post a message on the help desk and ask for other editors to take a look at it for you. The welcome message above contains a lot of useful links but please focus on WP:YFA, WP:BIO, WP:Spam, WP:V and WP:RS. If you need any further help please don't hesitate to leave a message on my talk page. – ukexpat (talk) 03:35, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Let me know if you need any help. – ukexpat (talk) 02:27, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sandbox article

Thanks for the message. I just took a quick look at the draft and made a few minor formatting changes - debolded the headings, and reduced spaces between paras to a single line. I will take a look at the content a little later today when I have more time. The title of the page will be changed when the article is moved to the mainspace and I fixed the heading levels as you described - just by adding an extra = to each side of the heading. – ukexpat (talk) 13:56, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

At the moment the title (name) of the article is User:Coolnrg/Sandbox. When it's moved the title will be whatever the page is moved to, presumably Nic Frances.
