[edit]bold wikilink [[]]
Paragraph: This helps you set the style of the text. For example, a header, or plain paragraph text. You can also use it to offset block quotes.
A : Highlight your text, then click here to format it with bold, italics, etc. The "More" options allows you to underline, add code snippets, and change language keyboards.
Links: The chain button allows you to link your text. Highlight the word, and push the button. VisualEditor will automatically suggest related Wikipedia articles for that word or phrase. This is a great way to connect your article to more Wikipedia content. You only have to link important words once, usually during the first time they appear. If you want to link to pages outside of Wikipedia (for an "external links" section, for example) click on the "External link" tab.
Cite: The citation tool in VisualEditor helps format your citations. You can simply paste a DOI or URL, and the VisualEditor will try to sort out all of the fields you need. Be sure to review it, however, and apply missing fields manually (if you know them). You can also add books, journals, news, and websites manually. That opens up a quick guide for inputting your citations. Finally, you can click the "re-use" tab if you've already added a source and just want to cite it again.
Bullets: To add bullet points or a numbered list, click here.
Insert: This tab lets you add media, images, or tables.
Ω The final tab allows you to add special characters, such as those found in non-English words, scientific notation, and a handful of language extensions.

[edit]Entertainment Districts
[edit]Entertainment districts attracts many people towards one vicinity. As crowds grow, regulation and maintenance is required. If not then chaos can occur, resulting in crime and poor structure. I plan to contribute to this article the importance of regulating entertainment districts to handle instances of crime and mischievous behavior. Here is the source I plan to use to reference. Berkley, Blair J., and John R. Thayer. "Policing Entertainment Districts." Policing: An International Journal of Police Strategies & Management 23.4 (2000): 466-91. Web.
Article Draft
Entertainment districts have economically helped downtowns and cities thrive through development of various businesses that attract tourism and commerce. As entertainment districts tend to create crowds, facilitation and management by police is required to promote safety and regulation. The main source that requires police interaction in the entertainment districts are the nightclubs and bars that promote intoxication and leads towards miscreant behavior (Berkley, 2000). Police and security deal with behavior consisting of bar fights, overcrowding, and public urination. The requirement of regulation and maintenance of these areas are important for the safety of the individuals utilizing and benefitting from the entertainment districts.
