I have some flowers, rose of Sharon, in my yard, but did not find them described in the Encyclopedia. I wrote an article about them.

Marvellous :)

I got my first computer in 1989 and built this computer designed for writing magazine articles about a year ago. I only use a few program and am not familiar with many programs at most other people know. I dictated an article about rose of Sharon using Dragon's NaturallySpeaking 7 as I would if it was to be printed on paper. Reading the Winkipedia edit instructions I find that many changes need to be made. Inclosing a word in double square brackets you can link it to something, but now does it know what to link to?

If you write [[Pierre Elliott Trudeau]], it will make it so that when someone clicks on the words "Pierre Elliott Trudeau", it will link to the article entitled "Pierre Elliott Trudeau" (http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Elliott_Trudeau ).

If you write [[eggplant|aubergine]] (one piece of text, then a pipe | , then another piece of text), your article will have the text "aubergine" which when you click on it, will link to the article entitled "eggplant".

I would like to discuss this article with other people and get their comments. Rose of Sharon is mentioned in the Bible, Should I tell where and quote the passage? Bibles are copyrighted but that should not affect quoting the text. What does the verse means?

The bible quote would be quite welcome. I would suggest using the King James Bible or another edition of the Bible upon which the copyright has expired.

I have pernicious anemia , and I can write about what it is, how is diagnosed and treated. The doctor may order a blood test for vitamin B12 and other conditions that may be present.. I can describe how the sample is taken I have more information on vitamin B12 than is in the Encyclopedia.

Wonderful; you should update the article on Vitamin B12 and on pernicious anemia.

Count Rumsford was born in Massachusetts , and was an Englishman. No one else who was English had the title of count. He founded the Royal Institution.

OK, you should put that in the relevant article.

John Townsend Trowbridge wrote books for boys. Should we include a poem that he wrote?

Unless the poem is short, no. ideally Wikipedia is not a repository for source material. You may link to a poem on another website, and/or include a short quotation from the poem.

I hope this helps.
