Description

Good Afternoon,

I was trying editing on my own personal Sandbox page, and I copied a text for the 2012 United States presidential election as a base template for fun, I was not trying to edit any pre-existing articles nor edit any information on the 2012 United States presidential election page to leave misleading information nor promote any false or misleading information either, I am new to Wikipedia, and was trying to get a feel for the editing controls and edit on my own dedicated Wikipedia Sandbox page, and i was simply trying to expiriment with editing on the website, that Wikipedia suggested I should do, and I hope you are able to remedy the situation accordingly and I thank you for taking your time to read this.Thank You

Sincerely,

User:1aWIKIAL1,
