23 Things on a Stick

 

A list of messed-up classics to edit

Page history last edited by Anonymous 1 yr ago

I can sympathize with everyone who wants to practice but doesn't want to "mess up" someone else's work (especially if it's notes from a meeting I wasn't at or something)!  So I figured I'd make things easy for whoever comes after me, and create something obviously messed up.  So please, catch and fix my bloopers (and maybe leave some or add some of your own for the next person to fix?), pretty it up with formatting, whatever you like!

Thanks for setting this page up, makes it a lot easier (and less nerve-wracking) to play around and edit.

This seems easy enough. Setting up and doing something for real seems much more difficult.

What fun, I loved figuring out the correct titles and authors. I corrected one and added one.

I added the best classic of all Pride and Prejudice. And changed a title. Lots of fun
