Avoiding copyright confusion

Hello. Dr. Fisher. I have just reviewed the OTRS permission ticket for the article Harold Mendelsohn. I see that you were given some code to paste on the talk pages of articles you create to help avoid confusion over the copyright status of the content. I have pasted this code (with slight modification, to identify the university) on your user page, at User:Steven Paul Fisher. You should be able to just copy-paste it (curly brackets and all) to the article's talk pages. Please be sure you are logged in when you do this - these tags are not generally supposed to be applied by individuals who are not OTRS agents, and I fear that your doing so as an IP edtor is likely to cause some confusion. If people are confused by your doing so under your named account, you can simply point them to your user page and note that the template was placed there by somebody who is an OTRS agent. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 19:46, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Archiving

As an additional note, I noticed your talk page was getting a bit long and unwieldy. Since I see you've edited in response to your last notice, I have taken the great liberty of archiving it for you. This is meant to be helpful to you; if this is unwelcome, I do apologize and will happily restore your talk page to the condition it was in. :) None of the contents have been deleted; they are simply now located at User talk:Steven Paul Fisher/Archive 1. We generally do not encourage deletion of talk page contents, but archival is common. I'd encourage you to transfer anything from your talk page that you are finished reading and no longer want or need to that subpage.

Happy editing, and do please feel free to stop by my talk page if I can be of assistance. I would also encourage you to visit the Wikipedia:Teahouse if you need help. This is meant to be a welcoming environment for newcomers. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 19:52, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi - thank you - you are a big help. I had a couple of Sandbox questions - is it really three weeks before a response? I was encouraged to use Sandbox rather than creating a new articles directly, but three weeks is very long. Also - is it ok to post more than one article draft in Sandbox at a time?

Encyclopedia articles

If you go to other encyclopedias you will notice that the first sentence of an article often defines the topic. Would you add such a sentence to Deatt Hudson? MicroPaLeo (talk) 23:13, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

I have an unrlated question. I currently have an article in Sandbox awaiting review. Can I start on a draft of another article in Sandbox? I don't see where to start/edit/submit another article.
