Therefore, if you are creating a new article or working on a major expansion of an existing one and think you will take more than seven days to finish, consider doing so in a personalsandboxfirst and moving the article into themain namespacewhen you are done. You can make personal sandboxes by creating pages called"User:USERNAME/sandbox","User:USERNAME/sandbox1",and so on, where "USERNAME" is your user name. Once complete, the sandbox can then bemovedto mainspace either by yourself, or if the target page already exists, by apage moveroradministrator.

Article improvement

This part of the notice board facilitates collaboration between SGpedians to improve Singapore-related articles. There are many issues that may be common knowledge in Singapore, but are not well known outside Singapore and thus not mentioned in Wikipedia. SGpedians are encouraged to work alone or together to identify such issues, and to create and improve articles on them tocounter systemic bias.

For information on and to take part in general collaboration projects, see the following:
