Paragraph: Set the style of your text. For example, make 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 (U), cross-out text (S), add code snippets ( { } ), change language keyboards (Aあ), and clear all formatting ( ⃠ ).

Links: Highlight text and push this button to make it a link. The Visual Editor 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 the Visual Editor helps format your citations. You can simply paste a DOI or URL, and the Visual Editor 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. Once you've added a source, you can click the “re-use” tab 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: This tab allows you to add special characters, such as those found in non-English words, scientific notation, and a handful of language extensions.

Article evaluation: A Golden Age

Evaluating tone Is the article neutral? Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? Somewhat neutral. Cited to a article that was heavy in criticism. A lot of controversy on the talk page. They had to protect the page from anonymous users.

Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? I'd say the whole page seems underrepresented and needs work.

Evaluating sources Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article? The internet works, but they're all articles. They seem biased. Not really any claims made.

Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted? Not really. No. all the articles are biased towards a certain point of view and are opinion pieces.

Checking the talk page Now take a look at how others are talking about this article on the talk page.

What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic? A lot of uncivil conversation. There was a limit on who could post because of it. Name calling. Seems like this book and the author are controversial. The talk page was actual hard to read with what was being said.

How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects? How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class? It doesn't have a rating. It is part of 3 WikiProjects: WikiProject England, WikiProject Bangladesh, and WikiProject Novels/ Military fiction Its interesting because we talk a lot about cultures representing themselves in class, but the someone from the talk call for someone who is outsider and not from Bangladesh to edit the article
