This is my sandbox, where I can practice editing. This week we learned how to ' ' 'bold' ' ' words, and make links between Wikipedia articles. Emphasis (typography) Bold

Paragraph: This helps you set the style of the text. For example, a header, or plain paragraph text. You can also use it to offset block quotes.

A : Highlight your text, then click here to format it with bold, italics, etc. The "More" options allows you to underline, add code snippets, and change language keyboards.

Links: The chain button allows you to link your text. Highlight the word, and push the button. VisualEditor will automatically suggest related Wikipedia articles for that word or phrase. This is a great way to connect your article to more Wikipedia content. You only have to link important words once, usually during the first time they appear. If you want to link to pages outside of Wikipedia (for an "external links" section, for example) click on the "External link" tab.

Cite: The citation tool in VisualEditor helps format your citations. You can simply paste a DOI or URL, and the VisualEditor will try to sort out all of the fields you need. Be sure to review it, however, and apply missing fields manually (if you know them). You can also add books, journals, news, and websites manually. That opens up a quick guide for inputting your citations. Finally, you can click the "re-use" tab if you've already added a source and just want to cite it again. Insert: This tab lets you add media, images, or tables.
 * Bullets: To add bullet points or a numbered list, click here.

Ω The final tab allows you to add special characters, such as those found in non-English words, scientific notation, and a handful of language extensions.

This week we are practicing citations.

I can reuse a citation as well.

Evaluating Articles
The article "Digital Divide" has extensive information on its subject, and has 96 references, many of which are from scientific journals or university studies. The links I tried all worked, and the links to the sources supported the information in the article. There are no red flags that would make me worry that the article is biased, such as personal anecdotes or paragraphs that read like advertising. However, the overall flow and formatting of the article is a bit distracting. On the talk page, it is stated that the 'Global Digital Divide" article was merged into this one. The article could possibly benefit from moving some sections around to better fit the merged articles together for flow and readability.

The article "Digital Divide in Canada" appears to have plenty of reliable sources, but it seems like this article should possibly be a part of the larger article "Digital Divide" as it is only a more specific subtopic, along with any other articles addressing specific countries' digital divides. It might also be a good idea to extend the number of countries addressed, to further expand the information.
