Welcome to my fifth sandbox. Yes, I know, crazy, but I'm a busy Wikipedian. Anyway, here I will be working on the Boxer (dog) article. I myself own and love boxers, and I'm also infatuated with the nature of Wikipedia and its representation of the topics I'm particularly interested in. Right now I'm in the phase of just gathering as many sources as possible. Next I'll beef out the prose, add finishing touches, add images, have it reviewed, then publish it to the real article. Feel free to help out: As I said, I'm a busy Wikipedian. Thanks! Jacedc (talk)
