Boris the Baker edit

Do you want to make an article about Boris the Baker, Somerset West, Western Cape? Please read about notability to determine whether trying to write their article is worth your while. If you are on Wikipedia because the bakeshop wants a Wikipedia page, you also have a conflict of interest, and must declare it before posting anything else to Wikipedia. If you are compensated in any way by Boris the Baker to write about the business, and fail to declare this fact, your IP address could be blocked.--Quisqualis (talk) 05:54, 16 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

I believe it was a woman, and it used an image that was described as an unknown woman. As for why I am trying to find what was a really good biography style of wiki sandbox, specfically because I want a good way to organize what will be a large catalouge of alternate history scenarios. Specfically for a character I am writing. 184.58.146.65 (talk) 17:39, 17 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
Was the page you saw a biography-type article?
Was it in a user's sandbox, rather than mainspace?

It might have been a mainspace that I accidentally misclicked, however it looks a lot like a biography to me, I could edit it, and the thing that came with it was that it was just a bunch of empty tabs that said "sources" for the article 184.58.146.65 (talk) 00:47, 19 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
It will be hard enough to find if it's an article, but, if it was a user page, like a sandbox, anything like that which goes 6 months unedited will be deleted. Any page which is "counter to the purposes of Wikipedia", such as creative writing, essays, etc., is subject to deletion because WP is not a webhost. In that instance, it's gone for good, along with its edit history.
One thing you might try is the photograph of the "unknown woman". You would search for it on Wikimedia Commons, and if you need help in tracking it down based on your memory of the image description, the WP:Help Desk may be able to guide you. You would want to find the history of the image's use on the English Wikipedia, and see where that takes you. Good luck.--Quisqualis (talk) 06:18, 19 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
