Sorry! I hope I'm not being really annoying... I'm new to wikipedia... I'm not trying to start an edit war. I was able to find a source for the fact that [[sandsledding]] is an actual thing that is different from sandboarding. I also want to put this image into the article http://www.nps.gov/grsa/planyourvisit/images/web285sandsledding_girl2012.jpg but don't know how... Also I think it actually might need to be listed as sand sledding with two words but I dont know how to change it. Thanks for any help!

*Hello [[User:Ikamjh|Ikamjh]], I think you're better off at this point by editing the Sandboarding article and creating a section on Sledding. At some point, if the sledding section warrants it, it will be split off ("forked") into its own article, but only if it gets big enough and is notably different from 'boarding. The source you listed discusses both under the same topic, since the only difference is the board one rides upon, so we should probably do likewise.
*As for the photo, since it is from NPS, a government agency, and the photo is credited to an NPS employee, it is considered Public Domain, so you can upload it here. Go to [[WP:UPLOAD]] for how to do that. Then when it's uploaded, you call it in the article like this: <nowiki>[[File:whateveryounamedthefile.jpg|thumb|right]], to add it, thumbnail-size it, and put it on the right side of the page where single photos usually go. Let me know if you have any questions. ~~~~

Sandsledding

Sorry! I hope I'm not being really annoying... I'm new to wikipedia... I'm not trying to start an edit war. I was able to find a source for the fact that sandsledding is an actual thing that is different from sandboarding. I also want to put this image into the article http://www.nps.gov/grsa/planyourvisit/images/web285sandsledding_girl2012.jpg but don't know how... Also I think it actually might need to be listed as sand sledding with two words but I dont know how to change it. Thanks for any help!

  • Hello Ikamjh, I think you're better off at this point by editing the Sandboarding article and creating a section on Sledding. At some point, if the sledding section warrants it, it will be split off ("forked") into its own article, but only if it gets big enough and is notably different from 'boarding. The source you listed discusses both under the same topic, since the only difference is the board one rides upon, so we should probably do likewise.
  • As for the photo, since it is from NPS, a government agency, and the photo is credited to an NPS employee, it is considered Public Domain, so you can upload it here. Go to WP:UPLOAD for how to do that. Then when it's uploaded, you call it in the article like this: <nowiki>
    File:Whateveryounamedthefile.jpg
    , to add it, thumbnail-size it, and put it on the right side of the page where single photos usually go. Let me know if you have any questions. ~~~~
