You asked for a check on Leipheim. I had a quick look and I didn't find anything wrong even the date of the first flight of the Me262 is correct. The only thing I'd whinge about is the dot on the map. It points to Ulm but I know it's the same in the German article. Anyway, why don't you have a go and expand this article by translating the rest from the German article? Cheers Ekki01 17:21, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for pointing that out.
As a newspaper journalist, I have a tendency to look at the finished article and then tweak or 'renose' it - that's possible in print. But, there it doesn't leave an audit trail a mile long. Now you've drawn that to my attention, I'll do my utmost to tweak (etc) as little as possible.
I already use the preview function - but I've always found it much easier to read what I've mean to write rather what my hands have keyed in. I think most people find self-editing difficult. Usually, I write entries in Word first - to get a first look - before pasting it into the Wikipedia editor.
But obviously I need to write it, leave it and come back to it in Word before pasting. And I'll try to be a tad more self critical at Wikipedia editor preview time.
One example of how I've found I've had to an immediate re-edit is when the preview function doesn't give a true reflection of how, say, a picture will affect text - forcing, for example, a line turn. I can't remember what entries or when, I've felt it necessary to re-edit - and resave - to ensure that an unexpected line turn doesn't interfere with readability. That's print experience again.
But there's one thing I've discovered no way of previewing is references. I've found that it's only too easy to have second thoughts about a ref, for instance, if and where a line turns - and then have to re-edit - and resave - the section it applies to. Could you help with that please?
