I've just completed completed my first article. I wrote and formatted it in my Sandbox. I'm pleased with the way it looks and reads. I'm ready to move it to the English Wikipedia. How do I go about doing that?[[User:Jmolf|Jmolf]] ([[User talk:Jmolf|talk]]) 17:09, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

::Now...how does Jmolf go about doing it in the future without needing help? :) [[User:SarahStierch|Sarah]] ([[User talk:SarahStierch|talk]]) 17:25, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

:::{{ec}}Hey, Jmolf, welcome back. You can move the article into mainspace by using the [[WP:MOVE|article move function]]. If you go to your sandbox, you'll see a little down-pointing triangle tab in the top-right corner of your screen, right next to the search bar. If you hover your mouse over this, a link that says "Move" will appear. Click on this, and it'll take you to the pagemove screen. Be sure to type in exactly the title you want in the "to new title" textbox, and (this is important) be sure to select (Article) from the pulldown menu next to it. Then, you can just click on move page, and you'll be good to go!

::Hmm...Rcsprinter didn't actually move the page, if an admin wants to clean that up...

:::So that they'd still have a sandbox; if it was a regular userspace draft I would have moved. <font color="#A20846">'''[[User:Rcsprinter123|<span style="font-family:cambria; font-size:10pt; color:gray">Rcsprinter</span>]]''' [[User talk:Rcsprinter123|<span style="font-family:calibri; font-size:8pt; color:black">(yak)</span>]]</font> 17:34, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

::::Ahh, ok. Just wondered since the OP specifically referenced moving in his question.
