This is a sandbox article showing what a typical article may look like. This can be used as a testing grounds for whatever thing I put here.
The Basics of a Wikipedia Article
This is a Wikipedia article. The lead section is usually what's seen in the tooltip box, and includes the basic premise of the article, may it be an article about science, literature, or Greco-Roman Architecture. The usual desktop/mobile web user sees this first (not accounting for template boxes), while the user of the Wikipedia mobile app sees this below the short description.
The heading
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia where virtually anyone in the world can edit almost any page in the website (assuming that it is not edit-protected). While this can lead to some bad actors, most people act in good faith, such as adding recent information to an event. In contrast, Encyclopædia Britannica has a whole team of people who constantly check for inaccuracies in their book. This doesn't mean that Britannica is wrong, nor does it make Wikipedia any more accurate.
Sub-heading
While Wikipedia is a very valuable source of information, it's often attacked by people trying to impress their other peers in their 5th-grade computer class. While this may be writing insults or obscenities on George Bush's article, it could also be stuff like sending threats from Jared from 9th period who stole my Mickey Mouse pencil (give it back please or else I will tell my mom).
