Welcome to Template:Template sandbox, a Wikipedia template sandbox. This page is itself a template, and it allows you to carry out experiments related to template editing. If you wish to experiment with article editing, use the Wikipedia Sandbox or your own user sandbox. To edit, click the edit tab above, make your changes and click the Publish changes button when finished. Content will not stay permanently; the template sandboxes are automatically cleaned every twelve hours. Please do not place copyrighted, offensive, illegal or libelous content in the sandboxes. For assistance with template coding, try the technical forum at the Village Pump. You can also try Special:ExpandTemplates and several other template sandboxes that you can use to carry out experiments. If you need more sandboxes, please consider using testwiki. You can also conduct tests using the Wikipedia Sandbox. For instance, to transclude this template there, edit it so that it includes: |

 | Investigation of potential copyright issue Please note this is about the text of this Wikipedia article; it should not be taken to reflect on the subject of this article.
Unless the copyright status of the text on this page is clarified, the problematic text or the entire page may be deleted one week after the time of its listing. Hidden |
Your rewrite should be placed on this page, where it will be available for an administrator or clerk to review it at the end of the listing period. Follow this link to create the temporary subpage.
- Simply modifying copyrighted text is not sufficient to avoid copyright infringement—if the original copyright violation cannot be cleanly removed or the article reverted to a prior version, it is best to write the article from scratch. (See Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing.)
- For license compliance, any content used from the original article must be properly attributed; if you use content from the original, please leave a note at the top of your rewrite saying as much. You may duplicate non-infringing text that you had contributed yourself.
- It is always a good idea, if rewriting, to identify the point where the copyrighted content was imported to Wikipedia and to check to make sure that the contributor did not add content imported from other sources. When closing investigations, clerks and administrators may find other copyright problems than the one identified. If this material is in the proposed rewrite and cannot be easily removed, the rewrite may not be usable.
- State that you have created a rewrite on this article's discussion page.
