I am writing my first article. I downloaded it to the page that I wrote in the name of the article and then it said you can write this. I really don't understand what is going it. It all seems so complicated. I couldn't find the place on the page that said I could publish the article. I downloaded my article and my illustrations . My illustrations came down in code. Then I read the page and it said if you dont want people to copy the article don't place it here. I went to Sandbox and when it opened it had a whole page of symbols. Is Wikipedia for the Physics elite? IT is so hard to use and I read everything. I want to download it. Edit it and ppublish it with the illustrations. How do I do that.?????
