December 2018

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Laurie Carmichael, from its old location at User:DonJSutherland/sandbox/Laurie Carmichael: Australian Union Leader. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. Sam Sailor 13:47, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
