To make a page in your sandbox all you need to do is click on the "sndbox" link at the top of the page & then edit that...what you have done is create a page called "Sandbox/testsandbox" in article space, which I am sure is not what you wanted to do...I'm nominating it for speedy deletion as a test page. Any questions, leave a message on my talk page, which is linked afetre my signature. TheLongTone (talk) 17:41, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
TheLongTone; I am just tryig to learn how this all works and was experimenting wiht how to set up multiple sandbox files. Any hints?Jparcoeur (talk) 17:47, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
Your Wikipedia account was previously granted a user right called "course instructor" by the Wiki Education Foundation. That right enabled you to create a course page through the EducationProgram MediaWiki extension. Starting in fall 2015, the Wiki Education Foundation has discontinued its use of this extension. Going forward, users should create course pages through the Wiki Education Foundation website. That application is more user-friendly, and any content is automatically mirrored to Wikipedia. To prevent confusion, we'll be removing your "course instructor" user right, as it is not needed with the new system. This is simply a notification of the technical change to your account. No action is needed from you at this time.
If you plan on teaching with Wikipedia for the fall 2015 term, please email me (helainewikiedu.org) for instructions how to create your next course page using our new system. --Helaine (Wiki Ed) (talk), sent by MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:34, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
Hello,
I recently noticed that the student editor mentioned in the title showed up on my new pages feed, with a page created on the 17th of October, 2016, with the formatting for references entirely incorrect, no informaiton of the subject except using a few WP:Peacock terms, I think. I don't really know science. It's a page that does not need to be created, as pages for the three things already exist. (Uniporter, Symporter, Antiporter). One of the other students is even working on one of those pages. A page for all three combined is not needed on Wikipedia except as a list format, with a detailed discription, and with actual references. I'll be adding a few tags to it to help a bit. Thanks, Adotchar
Also, I used the {{trout}} template on his user talk page in a new section, just to give some emphasis. Please take a look at it. User talk:Plama002 Adotchar (talk) 21:40, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
About a week ago, Plama showed up in the New Pages Feed. Now that I'm no longer a NP Patroller, I stumbled across Tmckn001 in Recent Changes Patrol. Just to inform you, he made two possibly-constructive edits to his sandbox. Those edits have been marked as good-faith edits. Thanks, Adotchar (talk) 10:00, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
I think you need to always go back to the first distance matrix to get your distances for the calculations. You use the working matrix to identify the closest taxa but you do not use those to calculate the next working matrix. The reason is you end up taking averages of averages (dividing by the number of taxa too many times). The third iteration shows the problem. The depth of each node is an estimate based on the arithmetic average of the distances of all individual taxa on either side. If you use the first distance matrix as you should, then that last node is (31+30+39+31+34+43)/6 = 34.667/2 = 17.335 deep and not 16.5. It will mess up some trees if you do it the way you state. I just covered UPGMA in class so I really need it fixed ASAP or I will use it as an example of how not to do it. I will let you take first crack at fixing it.

Hi, I'm Rosguill. Jparcoeur, thanks for creating Ragulator-Rag complex!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. The article looks great! Some of the content from the lead should probably be moved to the article body to make it more accessible. You should also consider adding a "See also" section to the end of the article to link to other relevant concepts in cell metabolism
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Thanks for the help and praise. I have a great set of students working on it and have passed on your comments. This is all their work. 137.142.46.79 (talk) 14:33, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
