Markup

You may want to get yourself familiar with how wikis are edited. — Oxyaena ^Harass 17:52, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

Happy to develop this as a draft. How do I do that? BTW, I'm fairly au fait with wiki markup, thanks. What I'm trying to do is to write up my ERV FAQ in RationalWiki. Your thoughts on this would be appreciated. Here's the FAQ in Blogger form. https://barryhisblog.blogspot.com/p/endogenous-retroviruses-frequently.html

I know what endogenous retroviruses are, evolutionary biology is one of my passions in life. — Oxyaena ^Harass 18:05, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

I can explain why ERVs are important evidence for common descent and I know the ways in which creationists try to question it. Barry Desborough (talk) 14:48, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Draft?

I would prefer to put this material in a draft page with a view to it becoming a main wiki page, so that it comes up in searches. Any objections? Barry Desborough (talk) 14:48, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Sure, that's reasonable. I've moved it here: Draft:Endogenous Retroviruses. Bongolian (talk) 18:56, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
