I understand that most of the following edits have already been approved in principle, pending my submission of verbatim text that includes the citation markup.
1. New text appended to existing sentence (intro, 2nd paragraph, 2nd sentence):
Old text: and released on the MECC timeshare system in 1975. [1]
New text: and released on the MECC timeshare system in 1975, [2] followed by similar versions for Apple, Atari, Commodore, and Radio Shack computers (from 1978 to 1984). [3] [4]
2. Revised text (intro, 3rd paragraph, 1st sentence):
Old text: and the most well known entry in the Oregon Trail series, and was released in multiple editions between 1985 and 1993 for several platforms, including DOS and Atari 8-Bit computers.
New text: and the most well-known entry in the Oregon Trail series. For five years it was only available as an Apple II product, but an identical version for DOS was released in 1990. [5] Between 1991 and 1993, MECC released three GUI versions of the game (for Macintosh, DOS, and Windows respectively), thereby allowing people to play the game using a mouse. [4]
3. Insertion of a new citation (in “GUI version”, 1st paragraph, 1st sentence):
Old text: In 1991 through 1993, MECC released an updated version of the game for three different platforms – Macintosh (in monochrome, 1991), DOS (with “Deluxe” added to the title, 1992), and Windows (1993).
New text: In 1991 through 1993, MECC released an updated version of the game for three different platforms – Macintosh (in monochrome, 1991), DOS (with “Deluxe” added to the title, [6] 1992), and Windows (1993).
Thank you!

I was playing the Deluxe version of the game to kill time as I'm down with a bad cold and encountered a very strange glitch I had never seen before. I took a screenshot and proceeded to try and look it up, but could find no documentation anywhere. Where would be an appropriate place to attempt to document this? The glitch involves a trade deal, someone is trying to purchase the current date from me! O.O
