Fixing a typo

He clicks the edit tab at the top and reads the instructions. He doesn't fill in an edit summary just yet. He clicks on the sentence and fixes the typo. Tells me he would expect a button 'change' instead of 'preview'. He isn't sure whether or not the page has been edited now. He scrolls down and doesn't find a confirmation button, and assumes that the page has been changed.

He clicks back to the read page and notices that the page hasn't been edited. He tells me it would be possible he would have stopped by now, but he navigates to the edit page again and immediately notices the huge publish button. He reads the introduction more carefully now. He tells me that he gets too much information, which is the reason that he didn't read it this carefully before. He edits the page again, fills in an edit summary and publishes the page.

Adding a sentence

Again, he clicks the edit tab at the top. He is a bit confused how to do this, but then clicks a sentence and adds his new sentence at the end. He tells me he isn't sure how the syntax works, and assumes that the system will take care of this. He edits the sentence, notices he missed a space, fixes this, and publishes the page. I tell him he doesn't have to add an edit summary this time.

Changing population count

Editing the sentence isn't a problem. He isn't really sure whether or not editing the infobox will be successful, so he first saves the page. On the view page he clicks on a link in the infobox which takes him to an empty page. I give him the hint he might want to go back.

He heads to the edit page again. He scrolls through the entire page looking for clues as to how to edit this. We decide to stop now.
