Hi, although your user page shows a commendable aim to improve the Mahone Bay articles (I've been there!), note that you

• must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that they meets the notability guidelines.
• should write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic.
• Avoid original research

Return Comment, Develpment Page location

Hi Jim, as I'm new to Wiki and there is a lot to learn, even how to reply to a talk page, I am please to here from you.

My first challenge in writing the article was discovering where to develop a Wiki article. As a team of people will be needed to create a more comprehensive "Mahone Bay (town)" article I was looking for a workplace for the article where others can participate in its development. My User:CatboatCove page seemed to work.

Is this appropriate?

The remainder of your observations will be abided by as the article unfolds.

Thank you again for your advice.

I just noticed you deleted the Ham Yachtworks (Mahone Bay) article in my sandbox. When I read about sandbox stuff a warning about everything being deleted within 12 hours told me not to use this as a development area. Thus I used my User page. In following the deleted page comments I've found Userspace draft stuff. I'll look at this and develop pages there from now on. I assume they will not be deleted before they are finished.

If requested would you review these pages before we release them to Wiki?

The page I deleted was in article space, not a sandbox. Personal sandboxes get a bit more leeway than article space, particularly with notability, but they are not immune from deletion especially for spam and copyright infringements. Probably still the best place to use is your sandbox. I'm happy to help if you have any queries or you want me to look at a draft. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:39, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

There is nothing to stop others editing your sandbox. If you prefer, you could use User:CatboatCove/Mahone Bay instead. I don't know where that 12 hour thing comes from. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:43, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Your Mahone Bay development outine

Hi,

You had an outline of article development for Mahone Bay on your user page which made it look like an article. Draft material should be in a subpage, so I have moved it to User:CatboatCove/Mahone Bay Regards. -- Whpq (talk) 20:30, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
