How do you find what other editors have in their sandbox? I was anticipating messages after the sandbox was post not before. The Minnesota article has a NPOV issue in that Civil War section and it says next to nothing about Minnesota's Civil War contributions. The Hostilities of 1862 is very much on "my" list starting with the title. If you go back to my talk page "Issues" is a list of issues with that article. I regret the Minneapolis article will never make my "to do" list. The Fort Snelling Unorganized Territory Article is on that list. It irks me to no end the MHS doesn't have a clue it is not part of Minneapolis when the word "Unorganized" indicates that.

Are an administrator for Minnesota articles? Being asked to contribute is new. To date my experience with other editors would not be described as positive. Mcb133aco (talk) 16:33, 22 February 2022 (UTC)mcb133acoMcb133aco (talk) 16:33, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

Good day to you Susan. When you have a moment would you give me your thoughts of the Article in my sandbox. Your comment on the 1st Minnesota was a chuckle, I would hope you found them. Every kid in this State should should know who they were and what they did. I will edit the Dakota War and make new friends. here are a couple of links [1][2] Mcb133aco (talk) 18:43, 11 March 2022 (UTC)mcb133acoMcb133aco (talk) 18:43, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

Good day again Susan. Per your request I looked the Dakota War article. My opinion is that it rates a D+ level. Wikipedia starts everything with a C, which to me means "average" and it is sub-par across the board. There are two editors that work on the article. One seems to have assumed "Ownership" and has developed a COI in the process in my opinion. The other is indigenous and they leave comments that have a racist tone in my opinion. I did a rewrite that the "Owner" immediately reverted. My edit was not cited for vandalism, lack of references, or POV, but it was TOO Large. My edit moved the article to the B level in my opinion. I posted a bullet list of reasons for the rewrite that the "Owner" is now using to "improve" the article by them-self. There are many more bullets that could be added. I will not add them for the "Owner" to use to improve "their" article. It is a form of plagiarism in my opinion when I had already posted the content. Any thoughts you would care to share?Mcb133aco (talk) 22:09, 4 August 2022 (UTC)mcb133Mcb133aco (talk) 22:09, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
