Feedback and notes from my WikiNeighbours
- Hi Niki, I'm pretty sure that you have the skills for a few wiki certifications ;-). I've added a sandbox subpage above. If you demo your text formatting, images and links we can apply a Wiki certification -- of course its optional ;-) --Wayne Mackintosh 21:36, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
