I am new to Wikipedia. I learned about it from news on the Internet. At first I could access Encyclopedia entries and found some excellent detailed information. I can no longer find any of these entries. They told me that they are buying new equipment , and I hope to that will take care of the situation. I find myself in a strange, unfamiliar world and I don’t know the language or customs. First I want to know how to look up information in the Encyclopedia. I want to know how to read the information, select the desired part, and either copy or print it. Then I want to know how to write an article. I will need a title or heading. Next I will give a brief description to be followed by the more detailed body of the article. After I edit it the way I want it I will need to have other people work at over to make corrections and provide additional information. I had a colonoscopy several months ago so I could write an article about colonoscopy and what it is like for the patient. A nurse death could provide more detailed information about preparation for the procedure and a surgeon could provide pictures of hemorrhoids, polyps, and colon cancer from his records. I am self-employed and use my computers to write magazine articles that are sent by e-mail to the editor along with drawings and pictures taken with my digital camera. I am interested in chat but don’t have time to write more right now. Merritt L. Perkins
