COI banner for talk pages[edit]

Hello Josh: When you get your sandbox material refined enough to put into the mainspace, you ought to add this template to the article talkpage:

{{Connected contributor|Joshwachtel|editedhere=yes|declared=yes}}

You'll put it at the top, just below any other templates listed. For an example of what it produces, look at Talk:Desert Star Weekly. (In this example the contributor has not declared COI.) Happy editing! --S. Rich (talk) 15:20, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sandbox[edit]

Josh, look at WP:ELNO. Your Google search results will not work in the final article.--S. Rich (talk) 15:43, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

SRich, Mmm, I see. That's too bad. I thought that would be a workaround for the problem of the two images I'd like to post, but I guess I'll have to pursue this further. Somewhere I read you can't post an image until you've got 10 edits in. Perhaps you'd be willing to assist with this even though you did say you don't have experience with this yet. Something new to learn? (smiley face) I'll just drop the search for the term "Restorative Practices" - I thought it would give some indication of the wide currency of use of this term. In any case, I think I'm about ready to make the page public. Joshwachtel (talk) 16:02, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I won't be able to help with images. I've got a backlog of images from my own efforts that I haven't uploaded.--S. Rich (talk) 15:57, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
