Nota Bene: wikipedia and wiki text formatting aren't compatible (not without a lot of editing)
which means that cut from wikipedia and paste directly into wikipages won't look right after saving without editing.

Have a look at your Organic Gardening page in the pcwiki:
http://www.ibiblio.org/ecolandtech/pcwiki/index.php/Organic%20Gardening
I just got through reworking the formatting and I believe we have something to build on.

Another formatting procedure to adhere to faithfull is the use of
WikiWords when there are to be wiki page names consisting of multiple words,
i.e. Organic Gardening would become OrganicGardening

Reason for this is in the URLs for these pages:

http://www.ibiblio.org/ecolandtech/pcwiki/index.php/OrganicGardening

is a lot easier to remember and propagate than:

http://www.ibiblio.org/ecolandtech/pcwiki/index.php/Alan%20Chadwick

the %20 is added by phpwiki to represent the white space in wikipage names
created as, i.e. Alan Chadwick, rather than AlanChadwick.

Lots more better 4 sure.
