[edit] Exercise: Country Infobox

An exercise in progress to familiarise myself with country info boxes, understanding how it works and learning how each section inflences the section.

The country in this exercise is fictious, all names are used for testing purposes only, and serves as a training ground only.

Thank you. --Marianian (talk) 20:24, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

^  Athens abolished its coat of arms, motto and national anthem (once Tia's Anthem), in respect to an ambition of unbiased equality. Nevertheless, anthems are still played at the Olympic games (Tia's Anthem) and at end of transmission on TV and radio ("Das Lied der Deutschen", also used by Germany). The most popular unofficial motto representing Athens remains as "The Rise of the Third Phoenix", whilst the final coat of arms before abolition is still used by some Greek-majority cantons. See Main Article: Symbols of Athens ^  As Athens is heavily influenced by The Sims 2 and The Lord of the Rings, such languages have found its way into society, but it is not recognized by the state yet. ^  Although Lisa Simpson is a ficitous character, it is recognized by many Simpsons fans and nationally as the ninth member of the Federal Council. ^  Charlotte Islands, although a commonwealth within the federation, possesses their own EU, EFTA and UN membership.^  Athens was suspended from the European Union per request by of the Chancellor.^  Mathematical estimate of the population based on population growth from 1976 to 2005.

[edit] Silchester Estate (Awaiting LMA Material)

Silchester Estate is a public housing estate consisting of four 21-storey tower blocks.

The Silchester Estate was built in two phases; Stage One, which was approved in 1964 and completed in 1966 consisted of Frinstead & Whitstable Houses while Stage Two, approved in 1968 and completed in 1970 consisted of Dixon & Markland Houses. The four tower blocks are of the same design.

The housing estate is within walking distance from the Latimer Road Tube Station, but access to the A40 Westway requires going down to the Sheperd's Bush Roundabout.

[edit] Introduction

I'm Marianian, a member of Wikipedia and Arrid, a member of The Sims Resource. I am quite good at Wikicoding, practising at an intermediate level. I started up my new Wiki-profile because I am on the move in working days, so now I have a portfolio of contributions to look back to, and a proper talk page to myself.

Yes, you can edit Wikipedia, but please make sure your edits are sensible and useful to others. Wikipedia reminds of the old days where user interfaces in Windows were very simple.

And finally, a happy Western and Hijri New Year, on Saturday and Tuesday. |}

[edit] Tia Article Layout test

Tia is the Haida goddess of peaceful death. It is considered a duality. Its counterpart is Ta'xet the Haida God of violent death.

It is also the abbreviation for "This Is Africa".

See Princess Tia for the sister of Ramesses II and her husband Tia.

See TiA for the article on the Japanese singer called TiA.

See TIA for terms that abbreviate to TIA.

See Tia (Galactik Football) for the animated character from Galactik Football.

See Transient ischemic attack for the temporary disturbance of blood supply to the brain.
