Fixing a typo

Clicks the edit tab at the top. Reads the introduction but does not enter the edit summary. Quickly scrolls to the sentence, clicks it and edits it. He objects to the Dutch translation to 'preview'. He scrolls to the bottom to find a save button but finds nothing and scrolls back. He then enters an edit summary and clicks publish.

Editing a sentence

He searches for a spot to edit something. Clicks the edit tab again. Clicks a sentence and adds a sentence at the end. He notices that the reference has been moved and he doesn't like this and tries to fix this, but thinks this is not possible. He clicks the back button in the browser and tries to edit again. This time he clicks the sentence after the reference and adds the sentence in front. He notices that he might have given up now when doing this at home. He forgets an edit summary but as the system does not complain he doesn't mind.

Adding a reference

He looks at the different edit mode but doesn't think these are useful: "paragraphs, sections, no no no." I tell him he can Google if he'd like, but he likes to try in the editor first. He clicks on a reference but nothing happens. He scrolls a bit and eventually defers to Google. He finds a page about reference templates. This doesn't really help, and he tells me it isn't easy at all.

I give him the hint to try a different edit mode. He tries out the paragraph mode, and notices a reference tag. He copies this tag, but edits it incorrectly. He notices that it didn't work out correctly but we decide to leave it as-is.

Changing population count

He doesn't have any problems with editing the sentence. For the template he switches to section edit mode, and this also works out just fine.
