[edit] Answer to your question

If you begin a sentence with a space, it will be shown in a preformatted font and style - the is suitable for, for example, computer code. So when you tried to mark paragraphs with spaces in the beginning, it was interpreted as you wanted a preformatted section. This is an example of "wiki markup", and you can read more about that in Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page. If you have any more questions, just ask away. Happy editing! Henrik 07:10, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Summaries

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Edit summary text box

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.
