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.

Bullets: To add bullet points or a numbered list, click here.

Insert: This tab lets you add media, images, or tables.

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

On Elizabeth M. Ward: I plan to add some main points of research that Dr. Ward has been apart of, such as global patterns of esophageal, stomach and GE junction cancers. This information was received from http://hip.emory.edu/research_projects/projects/acs_global_patterns_esophagel_stomach_ge_junction.html, Emory University Research Database. More research on Dr. Ward and her contributions to the research and medical community will allow me to bring more sources and more information to filling in the blanks on her brief article that is already created.

Lead Section Summary: Elizabeth M. Ward is an American scientist and currently serves as the National Vice President of Intramural Research for the American Cancer Society, Chair of the World Trade Center Health Program Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee, and a member of the Nation Cancer Institute's Board of Scientific Counselors.

In 1973, she received her B.A in Biology at the University at Buffalo. Following that she attended the University of Pennsylvania to get her M.S in Epidemiology, which is where she later received her Ph.D, also in Epidemiology, in 1983. Ward has worked in the cancer research field for the majority of her career and while she currently holds the position of National Vice President for Intramural Research, she previously held other significant positions as well as two other positions at the American Cancer Society.
