Hello once again. I do not go to Wikipedia, probably because I am aware that anyone can either add there understanding of a topic or edit some one's work. I went to the information they give you on their site about editing. Quite easy to understand except the term sandbox, it rather confused me at first but then I worked it out. One of the requests was to go to a topic that you feel you know something about and edit it. I did try Queen Elizabeth the first but did not have a box where you could edit it, therefore it must be one of the "protected pages". I then typed in Maltese terrier (I have no idea why-it just popped into my head). It directed me to Morkie, I read the article and noticed indeed there was a box the edit this page. I then changed the spelling of the word blond to blonde and the saved it. I then double checked and yes it was changed to the way I had spelled it. I then tried some of the other topics mostly pop culture and found you could change these. Another article I could not change was on the main page entitled
"Today's Featured Article". I think Wikipedia is a quick tool to get compressed knowledge on a topic but I would urge parents to read the "advice to parents" link
