It's unusual in the wikisphere to get people to go to the edit screen to see the wikitext they're supposed to copy and paste. That has the disadvantage of not showing them on one page both the wikitext and the output. Plus they might get confused and save a change to your sandbox page rather than to the new article. It's more common practice to instruct them in some way like what you see here. This was generated, by the way, by pasting your wikitext into the A column of spreadsheet application as unformatted text (after having formatted the A column as text) and then using this formula in column B:

="<nowiki>"&A1&"</nowiki><br>"
