This is my wikipedia sandbox page. It will help me practice Wikipedia editing skills as I go along.

There aren't too many ways to enhance Wikipedia text and they went with their own commands, so the training in HTML and java don't help at all. They're like Apple, disregarding any standardized norms that would make it easy or inexpensive for the user.

Bold is one of the edits and to create text, they've gone bold and require THREE rather than two '. Kind of reminds me of telling Katy I'd name our first Hana but was thinking of putting in two a's so they'd pronounce it right Haana. She said why not go bold and add three to make sure Haaana. Classic Katy.

To practice the Using the Visual Editor, I'll play with some ideas from my favorite author, Arundhati Roy. Amazing and prescient that she wrote this in early April. I can't quote it directly bc I get a Wiki warning - interesting. She writes about the pandemic being a portal. In the last two paragraphs, after a v bleak assessment of what has occurred, she posits that like other pandemics, this one will change the way people behave. We have to decide if we can leave some of the worst of our society behind: the racism, environmental degradation, slave-like devotion to tech. If we can walk through the portal without this "baggage" we can create a better world but we'll have to fight for it.
