I feel that this is somewhat of an honor, though to be honest, I'm not sure what to do with it? The little I've read so far talks about editing other articles? In addition, because this is an encyclopedia, I'm sure that that means that whatever articles I write here should be factual and not opinion, complete with references from whatever texts I used to create the article. This will be challenging for me, as my writing so far is of the commentary type, and of my personal opinion. Also, I suspect that this is no place for fictional writing, which means that what I write will be new territory for me, and so I will be leaning on the five tutorials that I saw. What about the nuts and bolts of it? Meaning, to make an accepted form, one in keeping with your presentation standards, references, annotations and things like this? Anyway, this being the first sandbox offering, I would welcome any advice from others who are already done this type of writing. In short, I'm going to need all the help I can get! Also, this may not be the proper venue for this type of request, but if anyone would like me to research a subject and then write articles concerning that subject, I am willing and eager to take on such a task! I hope to hear from some of you old timers soon! Also, is there a page where other contributors talk about the craft of encyclopedia writing? I would love to communicate with others, here at Wikipedia
