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 (A small essay of Wikipædia)

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.

dril, impersonating Jared from 9th Period

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).


Meanwhile, this "essay" is only meant for filler text, and is not meant for any serious stuff. However, keep it in your head that Wikipedia is not totally accurate, just like those cures for cancer you found in the Library of babel.

When something goes wrong (Uh Oh!)

Who is this guy, and why is he here? Could his name be Alexander Hamilton?

Of course, this doesn't always mean that Wikipedia is always right. Hear that, Google? But most of the time, the Wiki is always right. However, what about when the content is right, but the formatting is wrong? Let's say we have a random guy on this page, but I want him inline instead of by himself, because Larry ditched him at the last minute? We want it centered, but not too centered. Well good news! I have no clue how to do this. I'm putting this picture next to a bunch of UserBoxes just because one can! Yippee!

IDKI don't know who this fellow is!
