This is a second user sandbox of User:Donner60. A user sandbox is a subpage of the user's user page. It serves as a testing spot and page development space for the user and is not an encyclopedia article. In this case it includes large excerpts from Wikipedia policy or guideline pages have been copied here for background and information on the principles to be applied to article development.
I may cut these excerpts down or otherwise edit them, although I am reluctant to even paraphrase text that may be used or cited in the evaluation so that a neutral presentation can be maintained. I have also moved some material from the Main Sandbox here because it is similar to the content of this page. Some may be duplicative and I will cut it back when I have more time. I have removed the note about developing an article or paper on a particular subject because that was accomplished quite some time ago.
I have noted that some users have these type of references or guidelines on their user page, though perhaps usually smaller in number. This reference page is meant to keep the total size of my user page shorter than it would be if the material was there.
{{Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and the community of people who build it: It combines many features of general and specialized encyclopedias, almanacs, and gazetteers. Wikipedia is not a soapbox, an advertising platform, a vanity press, an experiment in anarchy or democracy, an indiscriminate collection of information, or a web directory. It is not a dictionary, a newspaper, or a collection of source documents, although some of its fellow Wikimedia projects are. —Wikipedia:Five pillars}}
