How to be a spy
Dubious recruitment guide for the Central Intelligence Agency. The "requirments" for a CIA internship include a "Strong acedemic record," "Outstanding impersonal skills" and "The ability to write accuratley and clearly." This article was probably created by a well-meaning kid: if you're reading this, take a look at well-made existing Wikipedia articles - there are always lots linked from the Main page - and try to write like them, and don't give your articles the sort of titles you wouldn't find in an encyclopedia, like the World Book or Encyclopedia Britannica.
