Stand-alone editor for editing wiki text on Windows/Internet Explorer?

You could also just use WYSIWYG editor, like FCK . Incidentally, you can also open this in a separate browser window (which, from your question, you might be looking for).

You can try OpenOffice, it does a decent job of exporting to Mediawiki format.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
