Thank you for your welcome. I actually had a couple of basic questions answered; particularly along the lines of "when should I edit this?". It would seem that the answer from what I read (on page Wikipedia:Etiquette) is that I should "go ahead" and edit the article (providing it is well sourced, documented,etc...), simply being prepared to reinforce my documentation in a civilized debate(this is a healthy approach by the way). I also must say that I applaud the wiki social approach, and the set of principals listed on the aforementioned page should be used, not only in editing Wikipedia articles, but in organized and unorganized debate.

Format

About formating: don't add spaces at the start when you start writing from a new line/new paragraph. On Wikipedia it creates some sort of a code box or something, like so:

sample text sample text sample text sample text 

And it will keep going forever if it's a long piece of text, producing a horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of your browser window. — Jeraphine Gryphon ^(talk) 12:42, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
