Thanks for the message. If you had read the message just above yours, you would have seen that I apologized for the error - yesterday. Since I didn't reach you the first time, I'll repeat it here – I made a mistake, and I apologize.

I think you misunderstood the message I left. It's not uncivil – it's part of Wikipedia. The wording in the message is a standard template, and this wording is used literally hundreds of times every day by those of us on RC patrol. All users, including you, are assumed to be acting in good faith, so the sandbox message is given because many times edits are made by new users who are just experimenting, and experimentation goes in Wikipedia's sandbox. It's really called the Sandbox. It's not a message saying, "Take your toys somewhere else, little one." It's a message saying, "Good, you know now that you can edit, and here's Wikipedia's Sandbox so you can learn more about editing, and about how the MediaWiki software works, before you edit an article."

Again, please accept my apology for the error. Welcome, and I hope you decide to stay at Wikipedia. Please let me know if I can be of assistance in the future. - BaseballBaby 01:55, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
