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.
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 Dragons
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? By inclosing words
between two symbols you can make thin boldface, italic, underline, etc.
There are a lot of such things to learn..
I tried to go to the sandbox to practice but all I could do was move the
cursor around.
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?
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.
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.
John Townsend Trowbridge wrote books for boys. Should we include a poem
that he wrote?
I would like to find someplace where these things can be discussed before
they are ready for the encyclopedia.
